welcome to another episode, an off cycle episode of Izon and I'm Andy Milburn.
I'mbout dmitikon tacos. Yeah, al most call you out there d right
early in the morning, little, you know, little hungover as usual,
nothing wrong with that, but we're missing Jason so and only you know we
have this team. Jason will be back. He is doing things set of
vital international security, so you probably don't want him on this podcast right now.
Who knows what would happen? Uh D I'm gonna make this very short.
Let's do it. Okay, since it's just met, let's chat about
this crash, all right. There's so much to unpack here, and just
so that everyone up front can kind of put the lock on the conspiracy theory
locker, all right, not necessarily locked up, but just just on hold
for the moment, you know. So let's tackle the you know, the
the bear in the room, which is did the Israelis do it? And
I would say, of course I had no, no better than anyone,
but I would say very unlikely. You know, Oakham's raiser. The simplest
explanation you're I mean, you're talking about a forty five year old US made
helicopter. You're talking about bad weather, really bad weather, which is really
as good as marsad Is cannot generate. They just don't have enough dry ice
machines. All right, you've got I mean, I think I sent you
a picture of the terrain there. I mean it is like being I mean,
this was this was like in the area of Iran that they call it.
They call it as a Baijan. I mean, it's as though but
it's it is part of Iran. The Uranians call it as a Baijan I
believe the province. Yeah, very steep terrain, I I have. I
haven't been there, but I've been nearby there in Azerbaijan, in the in
the mountains, and I can you know, for this to have been an
Israeli assassination attempt, so many things, there's so many coincidences would have had
to happen, and it's a much easier explanation to just say, hey,
this was an old, old helicopter. And despite the fact that that Iran
and Indep. You know, the President Racy, I'm going to call him
Racy, Okay, so I don't get corrected, presen racing. We're all
aboard making bringing Iran firmly into the twenty first century, you know, technology.
But but all of this stuff was focused on weaponry, and he could
you know, they could do a little about their aging inventory of equipment.
They are trying to do something. They are doing something now with the Iranians,
but not enough in time to save a bell two on two Irans,
you mean the Russians they are getting the Uranians are one of the one of
their goals, or should be one of their goals to get from the Russians
a complete upgrade of their inventory. I mean, this is some one of
the most serious things we should be worried about, I think in the Iranian
Russian partnership. Not the implications immediate implications for Israel or Ukraine, but implications
through four you know, for like the of the world basically is that Raisi
was by all accounts, you know, yes, he was a total ship
head, the Butcher of Tehran. He got that nickname at the age of
twenty. All right, Remember all of these guys, Raci, Akman,
Dinaja Kolmeni himself they were, and Karnie Salami who heads yes, that is
his name, who heads up the IIGC. Karne heads up the Kudes force.
All of these guys were students together, all right in the early twenties
during the revolution. Immediate after and after the revolution, Raisi and three other
students were made you know, judicial counsel whatever they called it of the Islamic
Revolution. Between seventy nine, I mean it was like, I'm sorry,
nineteen eighty through eighty one, they basically conducted a purge across the board all
the students, you know, the left wingers, the Marxists, the I
mean, Marxism in the seventies among students was normal comment. I mean,
it really was in Europe, and he had them executed. And this period
is when the first kind of dark story is about what the Islamic regime of
Iran was going to be like. And it wasn't just the executions. They
were put to death, you know, therese torture. Raisi himself as a
student participated in the torture. A number of our Iranian dissidents who escaped have
confirmed that. So, I mean, you know, he's he is definitely
a shit hit, no doubt about that. It's a good thing for the
world and the Western order and blah blah blah that he is gone, but
I want to I don't think, you know, the bottom line is this
that a success that will be found and and the real none of the real
issues, uh, you know, Iran on the rise for the reasons that
I'm going to talk about, really depended on racy. He was compliant.
Not only was he compliant, but the position as president is you know,
obviously it depends on the personality, but it's you know, Arkman Diniyard made
it into something, but it's he's really kind of a cipher, it's a
place, it's a billet in waiting. Right, as you know he was,
he was kind of getting scrutinized for and and for what we're hearing was
approved for to succeed as the Supreme Leader for any and and just for everyone.
I mean, I know most of your windience understand this, but the
Supreme Leader is exactly that. You know, the president's kind of a figurehead.
So when the Supreme Leader gives orders to the IRGC or directly to Kounswals,
which he does, it is directly to Salami or Chary may have been
in the room, you know, But but he is not part of that,
you know, that kind of operational chain of command. Nominally he is,
but in practice he is not. The regime No Rasi is getting credit
for this, and it's very interesting to watch guys who have or read commentary
from guys who followed him from a long period of time. Remember when someone
gets killed, everyone becomes an expert on him, right, But there are
there are a number of people you know in the US and think tanks and
actually a couple of Israelis who have been following Raisi for a number of times.
So I was very interested to hear kind of what they say. So
what i'm you know, what I'm about to say is kind of a synopsis
of those people and people have spoken to you know, in the last day.
It's not my brilliance, which as you know, is an oxymoron.
Look, so you know, under under this kind of under this regime.
When I say regime, I'm really talking about Sulimani who died, you know,
back in twenty twenty, is killed in twenty twenty drone attack. You
but their vision of Iran has evolved to something pretty frightening, and they're down
the path on that and races loss. He was part of this, but
lossy, you know, his loss will at the best, at the very
best, it'll cause problems at a succession argument. But I doubt for a
moment that this is going to deflect from Iranian foreign policy as is, because
it is working beautifully for them. They all wanted claim credit for what is
happening right now. Now, going back to the crash just for a minute.
Look, the Ranians have racked up, i mean many scientific, technological,
military achievements, but in many ways Iran remains backward. You know,
Infrastructure is not sophisticated, and Iran's got a long history of air accidents.
I mean, for all the reasons we've given the sanctions, it's PHAs for
years, I've left it really no choice but to cannibalize any of its American
made airplanes helicopters which were purchased of course when the Shahs still so they've got
to cannibalize things for the spare pass. That's the way you've been doing,
all right. They haven't think about it have been you know, the training,
the upgrades and all that hasn't been happening, all right. So you
know, again getting back to this accident in the regime where the rulers decide
everything, you know, when those systems exist for investigating failures, because failure
doesn't say no one can challenge the decisions of you know, the administration.
What accidents are gonna happen more often? Right, I mean that, you
know, And that's and of course, nevertheless, none of this wall will
kill the conspiracy theories. But what what I'm really talking about is kind of
the ring of fire strategy, which was formulated by General Solomani okay, and
that the ring of fire strategy sorts surround Israel with militias, non Iranians,
non Persians, so expendable surround Israel with militias, arm with tens of thousands
of rockets and missiles, and it's been bearing fruit. You know, it
really has Israel is in the ring of fire and UH and the level of
coordination between Iran and its proxies between Iran, now China, Russia has stepped
up. You know, Israel obviously suffered a severe blow on seven October and
since then has you know, is basically caught in a strategic trap on several
fronts, to include it's domestic front. Right, the Iranians are doing very
well, and you know, the Israeli Saudi normalization agreement, which Tehran was
afraid of, it's been frozen. Uh and and Washington's acting cautiously towards the
Iranians something This isn't a criticism out of concern that they're going to restart their
UK weapons program, which of course they already have. So you know,
the question is who is the question who's going to succeed them? Isn't isn't
that interesting? Honestly, The question is what happens in you know, in
the lead up to that is it going to cause riffs within the regime?
You know there are Again I'm arguing, I'm arguing there was not that important,
you know, he was he I'm arguing that that him gone, it
doesn't make a difference because the regime is can continue Sulamani's ring a fire policy,
which was proving very, very useful. But what Raisi arguably brought to
the scene, I don't. I mean, this is what some people say.
I don't. I'm not sure this is true. I think this is
what the regime has just arrived at, you know, realized the last few
years, and he was a major supporter of times with Russia and China.
He believed that Iran's future was in the East, not dealing with the West.
He didn't care about reviving the Iran Deal or going to Vienna. It's
a glad hand, you know, other diplomats. He wanted to encourage a
new regional, a new world order based on Iran sell in the Middle East,
you know. And so I mean it seems to be forming, that's
for sure. Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, he's the
new China, Russia Iran world order is it's really you know, it's set
up for business. I mean, Iran's already exporting drunks to Russia. They're
in they're doing joint naval drills. And what is probably going to happen next
if the Uranians have any sense, they're going to try and do a deal
with the Russians. I'm sure the Russians would love to give them these things.
But you know, S four hundreds Iran, that's that's a big deal
for Ran to have. I mean, their air defense systems are a weak
point, so to get upgraded weapons systems would be Does that include fighters too,
like new fighters or yeah, s U s U thirty fives, which
are very you know, they Russians cutting edge, basically very capable fighter.
They're the ones who've been doing the most of the work lobbying live bombs,
a lot of the work helping li bombs in Ukraine. Yeah, so,
I mean, what's kind of interesting the race he was he was pleased to
see China help broke a reconciliation with Saudi Arabia, but it wasn't because he
was really you know, Saudi Arabia is very important to him, but certainly
having China step in. The Uranians hate Saudi Arabia. But the hit Israel
more. They want to isolate is around the West by bringing Iran closer to
the Arab States. And that is and you know, for the Arab States,
Saudi Arabia, UA in particular, they're happy to hold their nose and
push ahead for economic reasons. They want to be you know, Iran would
love to bring Syria back to the Arab League. I remember Iran's being supporting
the Assad regime there and and that may happen, you know, I mean,
the Arab League is kind of realizing Heysaad's going to be around for much
longer, and with all this shit going on Gaza, do we really want
to cut you know, a a country like Syria out of the league.
So it's you know, it's it's tough to say. I think all of
that will continue. I think that nothing in the Iranian regimes decided by one
person except for Solomoni or you know, a guy like I mean Commene or
a guy like Solomony. Racey was not one of those guys. But nevertheless,
but Racey was also like on he was gonna possibly succeed the Iaola.
Well yeah, exactly right, Okay, So so what is important about arac
and what is important about what he has seen to support and advocate for is
exactly that his position at succession because what he you know, he's what he's
going to broadcast and trumpet to the world is going to be the regimes basically
their policy right right in the next decade or so. And he knows that
and he's setting it up. So that is why these things that I'm saying
are important, not because rac is behind them, but because they represent a
I think, you know, we can we can kind of glean what Iranian
policy is. And the iatola is kind of like on the way out right.
I've been saying he's been battling cancer for like ever now. Uh yeah,
but you know, it's just hard to tell these yeah, fucking iotolas.
By the way, Oh gosh, I haven't again trouble when I say
fucking aotola. I just mean these bad ones. Okay. Sure. The
point is this that they, yeah, they don't drink, right, so
they live much longer. This is a problem. This is why they have
an advantage on us. They live a pretty good lifestyle, right, you
know, they I mean, they're not hanging out in the bronx with all
the risk of but you know, and yes they are resilient. They seem
to grow, so you can't bet on him dying anytime soon. But yes,
he is getting old and if if he does indeed have cancer, yeah,
this is going to be a real friend. So now now that race
is gone, like who's the who's the next, Like who's on the short
list? Yeah, so believe it or not. Akman Dinner is one of
the guys. There's about three or four guys, all right, the names
won't mean anything to anyone, but former present, really hardliner. Yeah,
he's you know, he's he's one. There's a there's a guy called,
uh, the Revolutionary God has a candidate. Okay, he's a guy named
I'm gonna mispronounce it like Golam right in the hobbit, Yeah, Golam Hussein
Mossini. All right, sorry, he is not the Revolutionary God guy.
He's he's a judge. Of course, there's no problems in Iran with combining.
But but the Revolutionary Guard also has their own candidate, a guy named
Koalabath, and no one knows much about him except that he is, you
know, his IRGC. So you know, there are things happening behind the
scenes that even the best Iran watches aren't sure what is going on. You
know, in the end, Homini decides who the candidates are, and he's
likely Iran watches think to disqualify everyone except for one guy. And no one
knows who that guy is going to be. It's not like it's a fucking
vote, but you know, it remains to be seen if he can,
if he can contain the power struggle, if there is one intra you know,
kind of the intra elite power struggle with in Iran and UH and and
manages to find another RASI what is he looking for. He's looking for a
kind of a malleable yes man, devoid of any independent ideas. Okay,
So I mean that sounds like the first line on my fitness report. Someone
someone who executes the leaders will and is blamed for the regime shortcomings, you
know he was. I mean, that's exactly it. And I mean the
when we mentioned an IRGC candidate though we've got to remember the IRGC, of
course. I mean it's an understatement, wields a huge amount of power with
an alarm and so the only, uh, the only possible challenge to a
Komanity choice would be if the ILGC decides that they really want their guy and
Comine chooses someone else. But I mean, who knows. We're speculating here,
that's that's the best we could hope. So my my point is though
that this we need to be worried not about who succeeds RASI, but about
countering the Iranian regime strategy, which is proving, as I've said, to
be you know, very he was successful, you know, just I mean,
just just some other examples, and it just shows that arguably the Iranians
are thinking more strategically than our own leadership. They don't have to worry about
elections, Okay, I mean Racey was He was a big believer. And
you can when I say this, you have to say, see where he
visits, all right, I mean he visited Russia four or five times and
talked to talk to Putin, right, he was you know, he when
the US pulled out of the camp and when the US was just fucking kicked
out of Afghanistan and that awful debacle a couple of years ago. Of course,
that was more good news for him on and Racey was the one who
was very vocal in leading the you know, kind of the cabinet in that
direction. That's how it appeared, but it's probably you know again, it's
they all knew what the strategy was, and the strategy was that now Iran
could take over operate more clearly across the region and by connecting with India and
Pakistan and Central Asian all right, Iran can walk that line and reach out
and and none of those countries are gonna have any problems for dealing with Iran
because they had done before and the Caucuses, right, But so so the
power struggle his you know, the power his his the dichotomy or in the
power struggle. It's a power struggle, but it's a power struggle to find
a weak compliance successor will continue you know, continue the regimes, nuclear regional
proxy strategy. And that's that's about it, honestly. And it's kind of
crazy to think, uh that would this be going on at to this level
if Saddam Hussein or some kind of other bath party was still in Iraq.
I know, I know, no, I mean, you know, one
one of one of the things is that in US forum policy is that well
this is you know, I'm not going to launch it now monologue. But
but the problem is simply there's a lot of things we mirror image. Okay,
we are still trapped by some of our Cold War preconceptions. And in
the end, however, smart the think tankers are. They're in Washington,
d c. And they grew up in American or British Western backgrounds, and
they that that that is a huge obstacle, I think, and that is
why we, you know, we often misjudge. We don't understand Iran.
You know, some some commentators think that are determined to pit Iran against Turkey,
all right, because that would be useful for us. In fact,
in fact, Iran and Racy was again he's visited Anchorage. He wanted closer
ties with Turkey, and Turkey sent over drones and stuff to help work for
their helicopter. That's that's who found the helicopter based on the country. Yeah,
that's right. And by the way, that and guess what sort of
drone that was? What it wasn't a It was a d j I.
Oh wow, Yeah, it was a d j I. Forget uh,
one of those commercial drones like the little ones. Yeah, it's hold.
I'm trying to look it up, it's the one with someone will tell us
it's the one with the thermal it's got it's like a three mt or something
empty, it's got the thermal camera. I saw, I saw the video
they were cycling through the different video feeds. Oh yeah, yeah, so
but yeah they I mean that was a great example. I mean they've got
you know, Ryan had to borrow a drone for this, uh, this
particular. They don't they don't use drones for a connaissance. Why would they
use drones for a connaissance, right, I mean, yeah, they use
them for strip So I think, you know what, we're just going to
see continuation of the Ranian policy. We're going to continue to see this kind
of unprecedented move by Iran to shift the Middle East and to ingratiate itself with
with you know, the Gulf of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Egypt too.
By the way, Iranians have been in talks with memory Turkey, Russia,
China. Look, I mean who's getting isolated here? Yeah? Right?
You know is Israel more isolated? Is the United States perhaps losing its its
traction as Iran builds up this you know this, this I won't say an
alliance but certainly a lot of non aligned countries are going to have dealings with
Iran, which means, right, which reduces our ability to impose maximum pressure.
Right. Look, I mean a regional order like this one isn't due
to Race, isn't due to one man. And and Rayci was an interest
in particularly interesting or innovative or I mentioned a person. He was pragmatic and
cautious, which is how he survived. But he had a vision that was
clear. And and and those you know, those who were working with him,
like his foreign minister whose name I forget, and the IRGC, they're
all saying in the same direction. And that is what we should be we
should be worried about. You know, the merging of various proxies focus on
Israel. Of course is it is a big deal, not just for Israel,
but I mean, well, but it said it could potentially be an
existential issue for Israel. And you know, Race's legacy was always you know,
as he came in, he said, we're going to get more support
to the Hufis and Palestinians. Very interestingly, all right, that was not
you know that that was not something the Iranians went on about a lot prior
to that was Palestinians. He didn't you know, he and the and his
ministers, I mean, they didn't know the date of seven uh seven October
attack, but they doubtedly knew something was gonna something was going on that there
was a small attack. And you remember it's the ILGC that put the architecture
in the region, put together the architecture in the region that enabled that attack.
And it could have been much much worse if they had signaled to her
mask to join in. And then remember right after the attacks, Rayci went
to Doha where he met with Hamas leadership and anchoror by the way, where
both Erdowan and he met with Hammas leadership. So certainly no, you know,
you know, they very yeah, very pragmatic in that sense, not
you know, not driven to make mistakes by absurd eye geology. Yeah.
So anyway, I heard it, like so in terms of like gods and
Hamas, I've heard like Egypt's intel is pretty heavy into like supporting Hamas,
Like there are parts of that that are like pretty so there's like Iran when
they want to get you know, whether it's weapons or rockets or money to
Hamas, do they run it through Egypt and like Egypt. Uh so,
oh you mean money going in or support of any kind really? Yeah?
Yeah, so support. So the Qataris were open in frank the Israeli government
assisted the Kataris and providing suitcases and money to Hamas, right, so there
was a very open thing there. The Iranians too were getting ah R getting
stuff to Harmas via the tunnels. But also interestingly enough, they have been
sending stuff to her Mass, not not not any of the West Bank routes,
but her Mass via the West Bank. Okay via Jordan, but the
but they were an Iranian ir G c ring as it were. Was the
Jordanian intelligence recently just broke into that. So yeah, they were, They
weren't the biggest. They don't have a lot of money. That's not the
way they contribute. They contribute through proxy support and all that. It's the
big pockets of katar and Turkish money too. And you know, I'm not
saying it's well, yeah, absolutely, I mean one a lot of people
not even supported. A lot of people find remember her mask was the government
in no other way of getting money to Palestinians other than via the Mass government.
Yeah, but yeah, I'm sorry no, no, no, yeah,
So that's I mean, that's that's pretty much it, you know,
elsewhere, and I think, you know, we can probably talk about it
next week or on the next one. You know, there's there's stuff going
on in Israel is truly strange and quite disturbing. So you're quite disturbing.
I mean, yes, thirty, I mean all the thousands, thousands of
people dead. I don't mean to underplay that, but my point is you've
got within you've got it. You've got some kind of domestic crisis going on
in the political cabinet. Okay, you've got military leaders who are saying,
hey, we're losing dies again. All right, they don't you know,
they don't care about Palestinians across it onions, but hey, we're losing our
diyes. You know, another four Israeli soldiers killed over the weekend in areas
that we've already cleared, Jibeia, which is part of Gaza. This is
in November. The IDF declared, hey, we've cleared this area. The
Brigade Command division commander at the time said Hamas is no more well har Maas
is. They've popped up. They are operating strongly enough to fire rockets from
there towards esh Kalan and an attack Israeli units. And now the Israelis have
just sent in two brigades into that area that they've already cleared. Same thing
with Zaytun, same thing across Rafa. Israeli intelligence it's saying Hamas is seizing
control again in Camas Gaza. So you've got you've got this catastrophic thing they
are, you know, thirty five thousand Palestinian deaths, the twelve hundred Israeli
death to no end, to no end, right, I mean, Hamas
is as strong as this is what people were trying to tell the Israelis.
You don't you've learned from our mistakes, guys, right, you don't annihilate
a canterinsurgency. Now why just killing everyone? And the Israelis don't talk about
counterinsurgency. Everyone is a terrorist, Everyone is a terrorist. You know,
everything is counter terrorist. So they don't understand. They don't their counterinsurgency doctrine.
Someone wrote it. Someone I know actually wrote a counterinsurgency doctrine for them
twenty years ago and it was never published, it was shelved. But you
know, operational commanders managed to get hold of copies. But it talks about
clear and hold, talks about all the things that we do, but the
Israeli military isn't trained to do that. Everything is counter terror everything. Yeah,
that's why they have free fire zones and this and that, and they
stack it, I mean they But that's not even the real problem. The
problem is again there is no there are no political goals. I mean,
I mean, sorry, there are there are no real strategic goals now that
makes sense, right, And within the cabinet or or or within you know,
Israeli government, there are those within who believe that that Netnyahu wants to
settle Gaza. In fact, it isn't just a kind of conspiracy room.
Israeli papers came out that was an op ed today that look, this is
why there's no plan for the day after, because Netanyahu and Smoldrich and Ben
Givere and and that you know ultra right wing loonies have a plan. And
sure enough, if you look in the opening clause of the basic guidelines for
the current government. I don't read he group, but someone translated this for
me. The first opening clause is the Jewish people have an exclusive, exclusive
and indisputable right to all areas the land of Israel. Okay, so yeah,
they interpret the land of Israel as being from the sea to the sea.
So now you have a problem, right, A lot of angst about
students chanting that the Israelis may not chant it, but that's what they mean,
right, you know. So it's just seems like an impossible situation.
I mean, even if even if the general's mutiny and deposed Netanyahu, he's
not the problem. He represents, sadly in many ways, the wishes of
the Israeli people who don't want a two state solution. I'm not arguing either
way. I'm saying that this is a really hard problem, right, and
if anything's going to come out of this fucking sorry mess, anything at all,
it isn't a half half assed Israeli victory that turns into a dreadful counterinsurgency
that other people have to you know, govern because He's right, If anything
positive, it's going to be a solution, right, It's going to be
something that that that may not please both you know, all Israelis and all
Palestinians, but that prevents this type of thing happening again. And that and
that solution from the US perspective isn't going to be just an israelis state,
right, So you see this is where our national interests totally converge. Yeah,
completely converge, converge, And so all these lunatics, you know that
here in this country, like the real you know, religious I'm not talking
about people you know, who like me, have an affection of the state
of Israel and blah blah blah. Yes, of course, I'm talking about
the right wing lunatics who never who've never been even to the Middle East,
let alone Israel, whose knowledge of the world comes from the Bible. You
know those lunatics. Well, I mean like evangelicals for the most part,
like more like fanatical Christians are so pro Israel because they they essentially think that
like Israel and Jews are keeping it warm for us. Yeah. But I
mean, you know what it is, this kind of religious weirdness has no
place in American politics. I agree. Okay, Look, I come from
a country where religion and politics were combined, and they do it quite well,
the United Kingdom. But the United States we have made we you know,
founding fault. It's made a determined decision back then, not that you
know that to separate the two church and state. But these lunatics keep coming
back and trying to conflate it enforce they're weird. There were no dinosaur views
on the rest of the population, right right, so many, So that's
it. It's scary. It's scary really because like the lack of logical reasoning
behind it is we need a little bit of pragmatity, pragmatic pragmatism, because
yeah, the way it's going right now, how are they going to like
Israel? How are they gonna they're really going to sense that into Gaza?
What happens to the two million people. There's no doubt that the you know,
that that's what they wanted. Well, there's no doubt that there are
people who want to do that, yes, right, and that the government
represents those people. I mean they do. They represent those people because that's
how they got to power in that coalition. That's just you know, so
who knows. Can we talk a little bit about I think I see yeah,
yeah, so the International Criminal Court passed out I guess, uh indictments
right for Hamas leadership Netnia who and his defenseman is like alant Look, I'll
tell you why. I don't think This is a good idea because you just
just made martyrs within Israel and Elsewhereho and Galan right right now. You know,
I've seen this happen before when they've done this to US commanders who probably
should have been tried under the u CMJ. Now the military closes ranks or
you know, to protect them, and that's what's going to happen. All
right, Look, there's you don't have to make a big fan for about
what happened. But but but the way to get the way to show the
absolute moral bankruptcy of Netanyahu and his cronies is to you know, write about
it and publicize it and inform inform the American public and the world and the
