Pepe Escobar : It's DANGEROUS to Be Right When Government Is Wrong
104 segments
How did Iran
engineer its multipolar
breakthrough? I know that you could
write a treatise on that, but you know,
in the
>> Yes, we could we could write a treaty on
that.
>> How did they engineer this? Because the
whole world recognizes
that Iran defeated Israel and the United
States. The whole world except the
characters in Tel Aviv and in the Oval
Office.
>> First of all, Judge, they were prepared
for this war. They have been preparing
de facto for this war in practice at
least since the early 2000s, at the time
of the axis of evil in
2002.
So, they had time to organize themselves
strategically,
upgrade their military
knowledge, equipment, etc. which is
something that we see when we go to
Tehran and we are allowed to visit some
of the installations of the IRGC.
They had General Soleimani, which not by
accident was at the beginning of the our
decade, which I call the raging 20s.
Uh it was with a murder on January 3,
2020, Donald Trump ordered the
assassination of General Soleimani, who
was at the time on a diplomatic mission
going to Baghdad to more or less
reorganize the ties between Iran and
Saudi Arabia. But, General Soleimani was
the mastermind of what we can say is the
military strategy of the overall axis of
resistance. Not only Iran, but also
Hezbollah, Ansar Allah, the militias in
Iraq, uh
uh Hashd al-Shaabi, the militias across
Iraq. And of course, after his
assassination,
everybody that worked with him
started to implement what later was
later effect only 3 months ago was
became known as the decentralized mosaic
military strategy, which is what they
applied not only in the war against
Israel and the US, but the axis of
resistance was applying that to all
across the spectrum as well. The
Houthis, they basically were
implementing decentralized mosaic
against the US and the US had to flee
the Red Sea.
So,
it's a
very well organized military strategy
long-term and at the same time
politically
with the assassination of Ayatollah
Khamenei, which by the way was deeply
involved in military matters. Mojtaba
basically continued uh
tweaking what his dad had already
uh envisaged and this has a lot to do
with the how the decentralized mosaic
strategy works. So, they knew uh the
enfeebled points of the Israeli and the
American machine. Uh they
reacted in the beginning and then they
went on the attack. They calibrated what
kind of military equipment they would
use along the 39-day war or the 40-day
war.
And of course, because they were not
striking civilians and they were
striking American military uh
assets all across the the Persian Gulf,
they got immense political capital in
terms of support by the global south.
So, they also won the soft power war all
across the global south. Not only they
won in the battlefield by resisting
sovereign resistance and by repelling
everything that Israel and the US threw
against them, but they also all across
the global south from Africa to Latin
America to South
>> And all of this happened right under the
noses of the Central Intelligence Agency
and the Mossad and the Defense
Intelligence Agency and all these other
tentacles that the Pentagon has?
>> Mhm. Yes. Uh which proves once again uh
don't mess with the Persians.
>> Wow.
>> 2,500 years of history and of course
military clashes as well. And of course
diplomacy. They are some of They have
some of the best diplomats on the
planet. Always have.

The video discusses Iran's strategic military success against Israel and the United States, attributed to long-term planning dating back to the early 2000s, the legacy of General Soleimani, and the implementation of a 'decentralized mosaic' military strategy. Additionally, the analysis highlights Iran's ability to gain political capital and soft power across the Global South by focusing on military targets rather than civilians, all while operating effectively beneath the detection of Western intelligence agencies.
