NEWSRAEL: It is because of delusional "analysts" like this one that Iran finds itself empty and bankrupt. Iran cannot oppose Israel, much less the West with economic measures.
Iranian political analyst Mosaddeq Mosaddeqpour said in a January 6, 2025 appearance on Sky New Arabia (UAE) that Iran's investment in proxies was a mistake.
He said that Iran cannot win in a military battle with America and the West, but rather it should fight them economically by closing the Strait of Hormuz and Bab Al-Mandab, blocking international sea trade.
Mosaddeq Mosaddeqpour: "In my view, Iran's investment in [the Resistance Axis] was a mistake. Iran should not have done this. It founded the resistance axis, and supported groups that oppose to Israel, within the framework of one common goal. There may have been tensions between Iran and the governments of the countries of the Resistance [Axis].
This may have also encouraged some extremist, fundamentalist, principalist groups in Iran to go along with this plan, but this was not the policy of Iran. I believe that if Iran confronts Israel in the future, it has many means other than these proxies.
Iran should not rely on proxies within other countries, where the governments have taken a different approach."
NEWSRAEL: Notice that this genius says that Iran should not rely on proxies, but when saying that Iran should close the Bab Al-Mandab straits, he is talking about the area controlled by the Houthis...
