U.S. POWER PROJECTION "FUNDAMENTALLY UPENDED" Former diplomat Alastair Crooke reveals a staggering shift in the Middle East conflict: it is now "Iran projecting its power in the naval areas around Hormuz, not the United States." While Washington claims success, Crooke argues the reality is grim: "Nearly 17 bases have been destroyed" and American influence in the Persian Gulf is collapsing. The secret to Iran’s resilience? High-tech deception and granite. "Iran bought a huge number of decoys from China" equipped with heating elements to fool U.S. sensors. Core assets remain untouched, buried "850 meters down" under mountains where missiles only hit "granite rock." The U.S. strategy is failing to degrade a capacity that is effectively unreachable.
