> The longer this war lasts, the more experience we gain. We had never seen a real war to gain real experience to learn how to fight with America. In these five months, we have learned how. We have also seen how the American military is weaker than what we perceived. This is the most salient point and shows this guy understands the ooda loop — possibly better than the pentagon, which famously hates Boyd and the concept of strategic optimization.

> One of your most effective weapons in this war has been your missiles and your drones. Reports said before the war you had about 3,000 to 4,000 missiles. How many missiles do you have in your stockpile right now? What's the point of asking a question like this? Obviously he is not going to answer!

It is going to be perversely funny if Grump starts the process of Iran opening up to the world by prosecuting his distract-from-the-Epstein-files war so incompetently and abhorrently that Iran discovers the value of coming to the table and appealing to the liberal values of the [rest of the] western world. There is obviously a lot of bullshit in this interview, but there are also inklings of legitimate engagement.
