Larry Johnson: U.S. Bombs Iran Near Sirik – Tehran's Counterstrike on US Bases Trigger Regional War

In this urgent geopolitical update, we analyze the rapid military escalation between the US and Iran. Following US airstrikes on Iranian soil and Iranian strikes on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, the region is on the brink of wider conflict. We discuss the collapse of the recent US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, driven by diplomatic violations and a controversial new agreement in Lebanon. Is Iran deliberately dragging the US into a war of attrition to deplete American aviation fuel and expose the critically low combat readiness of US fighter jets? We also explore Iran's anticipated retaliation against regional US bases, the ongoing crisis in Lebanon, and the strategic miscalculations of current US foreign policy.
