00:00Brandon, do you think Iran does believe it has the upper hand? And if so, does it?
00:07Well, unfortunately, I believe not only do they believe it, I think it's accurate right now.
00:12They have demonstrated, as I said previously on this show, they have demonstrated a remarkable
00:16command the Iranians have of this strategy of theirs, which is to basically drag the United
00:23States and Israel and the Arab states through the ringer for as long as possible until
00:28depletion of critical stockpiles and until the Americans are basically crying uncle because
00:34the economy and political situation here is getting so bad. And let me tell you something,
00:39I live here. It's getting bad right now. And I'd like to also just give an inject here.
00:43The Royal United Services Institute of England, whose president three weeks ago called me an
00:50idiot when I warned about this, but now they're confirming what I said. Israel is now days,
00:54according to them, away from running out of the aero interceptors. And U.S. has burned through
01:0140 percent of available THAAD stockpiles with just three weeks now remaining of those key systems.
01:09And that's under current tempo. That's not if things begin to escalate, which it looks like they are.
01:14The Iranian strategy has been one of depletion, a race to depletion. And as I said from the beginning
01:20of this war, we vastly underestimated the enemy's or the Iranians missile stockpiles and we're paying
01:28the price for it now. And now it looks to me like neither Trump nor the Iranian leadership nor the
01:34Israeli leadership are on the same page. They're all making these maximalist demands. Nobody's very
01:39serious about talking. And so up the escalation ladder we go with a merry band of U.S. Marines and
01:4582nd
01:46Airborne Rangers to reenact Gallipoli in the Strait of Hormuz. It's not going to end well.
