Martin Armstrong argues that Iran has been planning for potential conflict for a decade, building a significant arsenal of ballistic missiles. He criticizes the notion that removing the Ayatollah would end the conflict, stating that Iran would likely retaliate by shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, a move that should have been secured before any military action.
“And I stood up and I said, you know, very plainly, I would have secured the strait of Hormuz before the first bomb fell.”
“Iran would naturally go after the Hormuz strait and shut it down.”
“Iran has built one of the largest arsenals of ballistic missiles.”
“They have been planning for this war for a decade.”
“So the idea that you could just go in and take out the Ayatollah and it's all over with, you're out of your mind.”
