There is a growing crisis inside Israel, former British diplomat Alastair Crooke says. This crisis has been compounded by the recent shift in the war, in which Iran bombed Tel Aviv in response to Israel attacking Southern Lebanon. This has placed Netanyahu — who is potentially facing prison time for corruption charges — in a dark tunnel with seemingly no way out, stuck between the inevitability of Israel's failing military objectives and the Israeli public's fervor for more war and attacks against its regional neighbors. On my show, Crooke breaks down this growing crisis inside Israel:

Former British Diplomat Alastair Crooke on why Iran will not surrender control over the Strait of Hormuz:
“They are not intending to give that up under any circumstances.”
Former British Diplomat Alastair Crooke on why Iranian leaders believe Tehran can outlast U.S. and Israeli pressure:
“They believe they have leverage in many key areas, even the military area.”
Former British Diplomat Alastair Crooke on why President Trump has no clear exit from the US-Israeli war on Iran:
“There’s no real off-ramp for Trump.”
🔥 “The West Effectively Lost The War With Iran.” — ALASTAIR CROOKE
A stunning assessment of the Iran war — and what it means for U.S. strategy.
Crooke observes: “Strategically it was a failure… overall, it was a strategic failure.”
He says Iran now sees that the West “does not have the military means to take Karg Island or to take the Hormuz back.”
Despite weeks of U.S. bombing, “half an hour after they’ve been bombed, the missiles are still firing.”
And Iran’s leadership is emboldened, declaring they will “dictate the terms for the future, not be dictated to.”

The Pentagon is completely outsmarted! Expert Alastair Crooke reveals Iran brilliantly used advanced heat emitting decoys to trick US and Israeli jets into bombing empty mountains. Iran's true missile cities are 800 meters underground and completely untouchable.
In responding to Israel's bombing of Southern Lebanon with missile attacks against Tel Aviv, Iran has materially linked Lebanon to the future of this conflict — potentially, as @tparsi has said, establishing "a new equation in the region." On my show, former British diplomat Alastair Crooke described the new paradigm that this development has thrust Israel and the U.S. into, creating internal strife and further uncertainties as to how the war will end.

Alastair Crooke, former British diplomat and British intelligence (MI6):
"Israel located an underground Iranian missille launch site and bombed it 25 times. 30 minutes later Iran launches missile at Israel from the same site.
This (war) has been a dismal strategic failure."
