MICHAEL WALSH JOURNALISM: The new Supreme Leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, 57, was chosen by the Assembly of Experts. So far, he has not spoken a single word in public.

The IRGC is speaking for him. From the start, Mojtaba was the preferred candidate to succeed Ayatollah Khamenei. Ayatollah Khamenei was the man who planned in meticulous detail how to break the Evil Empire’s back.

The IRGC is now showing to the whole planet. This is especially true for the Global South. They reveal what was lying behind the ‘restraint’ advised by Khamenei for years.

Iran’s response sends the global economy into a tailspin

In a matter of days, the IRGC blinded US radars across the West Asia spectrum. They weaponized the Strait of Hormuz, sending the global economy into a tailspin. They handed to Washington what for all practical purposes amounts to an order to surrender.

These are only some of the most prominent conditions for a possible ceasefire, assuming Tehran will ever trust the United States to comply:

Conditions for Washington’s Surrender

Removal of all sanctions against Iran and release of all of Iran’s frozen assets.

Recognition of Iran’s right to enrich uranium on its own soil.

Full compensation for the damages caused by the imposed war.

Extradition of Iranian 5th columnists abroad, and the end of orchestrated media campaigns against Tehran.

No attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon or Ansarallah in Yemen.

The dismantling of all US military bases in West Asia.

Let that sink in.

Let that slowly sink in. Here we have Iran addressing the self-described, hyperbolic, most powerful military in the history of the world. Iran is essentially calling for a humiliating surrender.

IRGC Aerospace Force Commander. Majid Mousavi announces that Iran has neutralized US air defense layers in the region. Following this, Iran is shifting to a new missile doctrine.

From now on, no missiles carrying warheads lighter than 1 ton will be used. Waves of missile attacks will be more frequent and more widespread.’

Keeping their powder dry

The IRGC is launching more Kheibar Shekan solid-fuel medium-range ballistic missiles. This occurred earlier this week in Tel Aviv. It also happened on the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.

The Kheibar Shekan has a range of 1,450 km. It is road-mobile and ready to be launched from a truck in less than 30 minutes. It flies under satellite-aided guidance with a maneuverable re-entry vehicle. This vehicle executes terminal zigzag evasion at speeds the IRGC claims reach as much as Mach 10.

It carries 1-ton warheads. That doubles the blast radius and the destructive power of each missile. It also increases the impact as much as it doubles, triples, or even quadruples the US-Israeli Interceptor Hell.

Washington and Israel Outgunned

A Patriot PAC-3 interceptor costs $4 million. A THAAD interceptor costs $12.7 million. An Arrow-3 costs $3.5 million. They have all been methodically, serially destroyed by the IRGC.

In practice, from now on, the Epstein Syndicate needs more interceptors for each incoming missile. They do not have those interceptors. This is necessary to perhaps achieve the same probability of success.

And then there are the Khorramshahr-4 missiles. They are liquid-fueled and have a 2,000 to 3,000-kilometer range. They carry even heavier 1,500 to 1,800-kilogram warheads with thruster-powered maneuverable re-entry vehicles.

We are talking about the heaviest conventional warheads in Iran’s arsenal, launched side by side with the upgraded Kheibar Shekans.

All in name of ‘Labbayk ya Khamenei’. The symbology speaks unmeasurable volumes.

Humiliation, Not Negotiation

Assuming somebody in Washington with an IQ over room temperature bothered to explain these truths to the White House,

The proverbial Beltway sycophants, according to ceaseless Washington spin, are urging Trump.

They want him to create a plan for the US withdrawal from the war. They announce that the military has largely achieved its goals. However, these goals haven’t actually been met.

The White House have already asked Turkiye, Qatar, and Oman to relay American ceasefire proposals to Tehran. This is a fact.

Iran is not seeking a ceasefire

The Iranian response is encapsulated here: ‘ Negotiations with the United States are no longer on the agenda.’

Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf: ’We are absolutely NOT seeking a ceasefire.

We believe the aggressor must be struck in the mouth so that it learns a lesson and never again even thinks of attacking dear Iran.’

Why did Trump, who endlessly brags about ‘we’re winning’, call President Putin as the war rages? The call happened a few hours after Putin proclaimed his unwavering support for Iran. He also showed support for the new Rahbar Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei.

Saving Trump’s Face

The answer, inevitably, is Trump looking for an exit-ramp. The absolute majority of the planet is already blaming the US for the collapse of the global economy. Quite a few players across vassal lands share this sentiment.

That’s because the whole continuity of government, set in motion by the slain Ayatollah Khamenei, is supremely confident that they can bring down the Epstein Syndicate to its drenched-in-blood knees.

What Iran under Mojtaba Khamenei, and that’s a national consensus, wants now is an unmistakable victory. The Empire of Chaos, Plunder and Permanent Strikes, with its ‘If I don’t like you, I kill you’ ethos, must be thoroughly humiliated.
