A former top US military officer says the Iranians are doing well against the US and Israel.
Military tensions between the US, Israel and Iran escalate into one of the most severe Middle East crises in years.
CBI News notes that a former US Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor on has said all of the US bases in the Iranian region have been destroyed and that Tehran is fairing very well.
In a televised interview, clips of which are going viral on social media, Macgregor said, “China and Russia are providing satellite intelligence, which accounts for some of the tremendous successes particularly in Israel, and our US bases. All of our bases have been destroyed. Our harbour installations are destroyed. We actually have to fall back on India and Indian ports...I think Iran, much to our disappointment, is fairing very very well.”
The former US Army Colonel's claims come even as US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday US has 'obliterated' Iranian military infrastructure--specifically its Navy, Air Force, and air defenses.
Senior US military leadership describes the campaign as focused on degrading Iran’s offensive capabilities — not signaling a collapse of American bases or influence in the region.
Defence officials have acknowledged casualties on both sides, including at least four American service members killed in Iranian attacks.
