| Are Iranian Security Forces Turning on Each Other? |

| [Hot Air] Watching the coverage of Operation Epic Fury has given me epic fury. Two weeks into a military operation that was advertised as taking 4-12 weeks, the media, the transnational establishment, and the Democratic Party is trying to convince everybody that the Iranian regime is winning, that its political position is impregnable, that its military capabilities aren't degraded a bit, and that our military planners, who have been war gaming this operation or some variant for decades, were caught off guard. The coverage has all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation, to use an oft-repeated claim. Over the past few days, the war entered a new phase, with Israel specifically targeting Basij militia forces with drone strikes and Iranian dissidents now assassinating Iran's internal security forces. Nobody wanted or expected an uprising in the opening phases of the war, and everybody is glad that the Iranians did not become cannon fodder for regime forces to murder. Soon enough, we will see if these new efforts bear fruit, as I suspect they will. |
