Shocking revelations are coming to light from the CIA, which warns the administration of Donald Trump that the war against Iran is heading toward a fiasco, as it will under no circumstances be able to cause the fall of the regime of the mullahs, thus failing to fulfill its strategic objectives.
“With bombings the Revolutionary Guards cannot be shaken,” is the message of the secret services of the United States to the American, but also the Israeli, government.
For their part, American Senators are sounding the alarm and are also ruling out a possible ground intervention as a possible emergency solution for the fall of the Iranian regime, because, as they say, it may prove to be the “fiasco of the Century.”
Under the weight of a possible failure in the war against Iran, the president Donald Trump is preparing a triumphant exit from the Middle East front, however he does not seem able to disentangle himself easily.
The new Iranian leadership is now sending an ultimatum to the United States, setting as a non negotiable condition for signing a ceasefire the payment of war reparations to Iran for the destruction that Israelis and Americans have caused in Tehran and a number of Iranian cities.
CIA: The Iranian regime will not fall through bombings
According to assessments of the American intelligence services, the Iranian regime shows no signs of imminent collapse, almost two weeks after the start of the attacks by the United States and Israel against the Islamic Republic.
The relevant information was brought to light by the American television network CNN.
“The bombings eliminated dozens of high ranking Iranian officials, including the Supreme Leader, and crippled Iran’s missile capabilities.
However, intelligence analyses show that this does not yet constitute a serious threat to the regime’s retention of power,” the report states.
Fierce clash in the White House over the strategic vacuum
It is noted that White House officials, in their statements, attempted to limit the goals of the war to weakening Iran’s missile, nuclear and naval programs.
They even presented regime change as a collateral consequence of the conflict and not as its main objective.
On the contrary, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, described the “terrorist regime” that has governed Tehran for almost 50 years as one of the reasons for the outbreak of the armed conflict, calling on Iranians to overthrow their government.
Afterward, the American leader demanded the “unconditional surrender” of Iran.
However, his associates told the television station that it appears that Donald Trump himself, and not the regime of the Islamic Republic, will proceed with announcing the surrender.
Lifeline to Putin and terms from Iran
On March 9, the President of the United States had a telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, who demanded the immediate imposition of a ceasefire in the Middle East.
The Kremlin reported that the two leaders discussed the current international situation and the chaos caused in the Middle East due to the arbitrary actions of the United States and Israel.
Earlier, Iran had set a non negotiable condition for ending retaliatory strikes against countries of the Middle East, the payment of war reparations by the attackers.
The Senate sounds the alarm to Trump: You are trapped in a strategic dead end
The goals of the White House in the operation against Tehran remain unclear to American lawmakers, emphasized the Democratic senator Richard Blumenthal after the briefing of the Trump administration in the Senate regarding the United States Iran war.
Richard Blumenthal stated that he is sincerely concerned about the possible launch of an American ground operation against the Islamic Republic.

“After this briefing, I am more afraid than ever. We may have to use ground forces. American troops may be necessary to achieve the goals that the administration appears to have. But we have no further clarity regarding our priorities, whether it concerns the destruction of Iran’s nuclear capabilities, the destruction of their missiles, achieving regime change or stopping their terrorist activity,” explained Richard Blumenthal.
Ground operation: The desperate step of the Trump administration
Military analysts characterize a ground operation against Iran as essentially the last hope of the United States to achieve its objectives in the Middle East war.
Even Washington knows well that such an operation would entail significant personnel losses and no clear guarantee of success.
Iran, for its part, desperately seeks a ground invasion by the American army, as officials at various levels have openly stated.
Enormous risk, enormous cost
The military campaign in the Middle East has already cost the United States dearly.
According to reports from American media outlets, the American military spent 5.6 billion dollars on ammunition during only the first two days of the operation.
Economists estimate that each new day of conflict costs the United States 900 million dollars, without counting the losses of allies across the world.
Other, independent sources estimate the total cost of the war for the United States at approximately 30 billion so far, if one also takes into account the enormous losses that Iran has caused to equipment and air defense systems in the Middle East.
