Martin Armstrong on Tehran survival strategy

作者 Not A Charm: Benjamin Netanyahu

Netanyahu is getting squeezed by domestic pressure with midterm elections just weeks out, which makes the idea of negotiating surrender right now look completely irrational. Meanwhile Taiwan is freaking out because two-thirds of their missile stockpile has already been depleted and filling that gap back up takes an estimated two to three years. Economist Martin Armstrong argues this specific weapon failure is exactly why sanctions hit Tehran in the first place. He's comparing the current situation to a 1979 hostage crisis where survival was the only winning strategy before Reagan took office. The whole play seems designed so Tehran doesn't need to change regimes but just survive long enough to win on their own terms. It's their version of regime change. The way they win is they just have to survive.
