The Iran war simply repeats numerous past failures of the US to win the wars it has fought.
The Vietnamese War was lost not on the battlefield, but on American TV, where the succession of lies told about the conflict and 58,000 body bags took their toll on a lazy, uneducated mongrel populace who lacked the character it takes to win.
In Afghanistan, the US had two decades of failed “nation-building” that sucked in billions of wasted dollars that could not outlast the Taliban’s Islamic resolve. America has no such guiding principle such as Islam; only empty boasting and pitiable posturing.
The US was successful in removing Saddam Hussein in Iraq, but that Pyrrhic "victory" plunged the entire region into chaos, fueling instability across the world for the following two decades, to the detriment of the US and Israel.
All US presidents have been unprepared for war. They have suffered from a collective lack of knowledge and understanding. This inevitably leads to flawed strategic judgement.
We in Iran knew this day might come. In every war game and exercise played in the Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz was shut.
Now we wait, and we know the Americans will abandon their aims in exchange for whatever we pretend to offer them in terms of assurance. They lack the willingness to sacrifice in order to win.

This claim is not true. It appears to be a misdated or recycled description of events from earlier in 2026 (primarily January), mixed with unrelated details about Iran's ongoing internet blackout. Nothing matching this happened on or around April 11, 2026 ("today").
- No Iranian state TV (IRIB) hack with a Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi message today: There were confirmed hacks of Iranian state TV satellite feeds earlier this year. In mid-January 2026 (during nationwide protests), hackers briefly interrupted broadcasts on multiple IRIB channels via the Badr satellite. They aired footage of protests and pre-recorded messages from exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi urging the military/security forces to "join the people," "not point your weapons at the people," and protect Iranians rather than the regime.
Similar (but different) hacks occurred in March 2026, where Israeli or opposition-linked actors aired messages from Netanyahu/Trump after strikes on IRIB facilities. No credible reports detail any such incident on April 10–11, 2026. - Anonymous (or similar groups) did claim responsibility for earlier hacks—an X account tied to "Anonymous TV" took credit for the January operation under #OpIran. Some reports mentioned possible internal help or opposition-linked hackers. But there are zero claims or reports of Anonymous (or anyone) doing this in April 2026.
- Iran's internet has not been turned back on: Iran has been under a near-total national internet blackout since February 28, 2026 (following U.S.-Israel strikes), now the longest in recorded history (over 40+ days as of early April). Global connectivity is stuck at ~1% of normal levels; people are limited to a slow, censored national intranet. Monitors like NetBlocks and others confirm as of April 9–11, 2026, there has been no restoration.
Iran is getting the message....

wow.Trump is giving them a chance to rid the yoke of a tyrannical Islamic regime that is determined to destroy the world.
Soon, it will be up to them to do what is needed for a regime change. We cannot and will not do it for them.
Iran’s fate belongs to Iranians — not the West —and it’s now or never
The Western media keep asking whether “regime change” in Iran has failed. That question is not only premature when it comes to the war in Iran, but also mistakenly assumes the outcome will be decided by the West. It won’t.
The U.S. and Israeli military operation has materially changed the equation on the ground. It has degraded the regime’s repressive infrastructure, disrupted its communications, and stripped its ability to coordinate violence against its own population.
For decades, the principal obstacle to a grassroots Iranian uprising was not a lack of will but the asymmetry of force between a population determined to fight for its freedom and a security apparatus built specifically to quash it. That asymmetry is narrowing.
But leveling the playing field is not the same as winning the fight. That part belongs to the Iranian people. The West can create the conditions. Only Iranians can create a country.
In January, millions of Iranians took to the streets knowing what it would cost them. More than 30,000 were killed. Over 330,000 were injured. That was not even the beginning of their revolution, but the continuation of one built on decades of repression.
Populations do not absorb casualties at that scale for a cause they are willing to abandon easily.
I have been researching and reporting on Iran for over two decades. The question I keep hearing from Western media is whether anyone can say with confidence what Iranians want. I can.
Despite Internet blackouts, isolation, and the very real threat of death for speaking out, the Iranian people have told their story clearly and repeatedly, at enormous personal cost.
What is striking is how confidently those who have never spoken to a single Iranian are now speaking for them: that Iranians don’t want this war, that they are content to live under this regime, that they have no capacity to reclaim their country.
The evidence across multiple cycles of protest, from the Green Movement through Woman Life Freedom through the deadly January protests, tells a different story.
.......................
The Islamic Republic has always known how to rebrand under pressure. It has done it before and survived. The nuclear deal should have been a lesson for the West not to trust a duplicitous regime that will not alter its deadly ideology or rogue agenda.
Lasting stability in the region requires a clean break, not personnel change.
Ultimately, Iran’s fate belongs to Iranians. The West did not start this revolution, and it cannot finish it alone.
The more consequential question is whether Western governments will accurately read what the Iranian people have already made clear, or once again negotiate a convenient settlement with a regime that produced the crisis in the first place.
That choice belongs to the West. The revolution belongs to Iranians.

We have the capacity and the will to take control of the Strait of Hormuz whenever we want. Trump prefers negotiations first and military action second. The Iranian people will rise like lions and take back their country from the filthy garbage that rules them through violence and intimidation.

That is not borne out by events, is it?
Iran categorically rejects the the Iran-Oman treaty of July 25, 1974. Hormuz Strait is ours by right.
In Iran, deluded individuals who seek to overthrow their own government are dealt with without regard to any imaginary "rights".
This is why we will win and America will lose.
