The US administration’s current strategy towards Iran is a form of siege warfare, according to retired US Army military analyst Major Mike Lyons. This approach aims to weaken the Iranian regime by cutting off its revenue streams and limiting its military capabilities.
Understanding Siege Warfare
Major Lyons explained that the siege is coming from the air, and the US is closing off other aspects, making the Iranian regime weaker by the day and losing revenue opportunities. The idea of a deal with Iran was also discussed, with the host expressing skepticism about the possibility of a successful agreement.
The conversation touched on the role of the Houthi rebels, who have been acting independently in the region. Major Lyons dismissed the idea that the Houthi rebels could pose a significant threat to the US or its allies, stating that they don’t have the capability to block the strait and their claims of a naval blockade are pure bluster.
The discussion also covered the topic of regime change, with Major Lyons stating that the US administration’s goal is to eliminate the nuclear threat and ensure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon. The administration’s objective is not just a deal on paper, but rather a comprehensive agreement that addresses the regime’s nuclear capabilities.
