We were told the Iran war would be quick, in and out, a couple of weeks. Instead it keeps dragging on. Martin Armstrong, who says he warned three presidents before this, explains why: Iran saw the decapitation strategy coming and rebuilt its state into four tiers so that taking out the Ayatollah wouldn't collapse the country, a model he says Taiwan has now adopted. He argues Netanyahu "just wants war, period," and wants America to pay for it "in dollars and blood," while Shia clerics, Netanyahu, and Christian zealots each read the conflict through their own end-times prophecy. A sober, unsettling look at why this is less a geopolitical conflict than a holy war.
