U.S. Military Expert: Iran Remains Strong as Ever
¬ The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claims to have destroyed a U.S. E-3 early-warning aircraft equipped with long-range surveillance and control systems
¬ Trump camp opposes war with Iran
Daniel Davis, a retired U.S. lieutenant colonel and military analyst, stated that the situation is far from over.
He said: "Iran's declarations keep coming. Their regional allies are expanding."
He emphasized that the U.S. is losing control: "Although we are strong, our limits are becoming evident, which does not inspire confidence in anyone regarding our military capability or leadership."
The Iranian state broadcaster cited a statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying: "In a joint operation by the IRGC Air and Space Force, at least one E-3 early-warning aircraft capable of detecting and controlling aircraft and air bases was completely destroyed using missiles and drones at the Saudi Arabian 'Prince Sultan' Air Base, with all nearby aircraft severely damaged."
At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), divisions within the American right wing on the issue of war with Iran became evident. Polls show that, despite widespread unpopularity among U.S. voters, this war is not widely supported.
Some influential figures within the American right-wing camp have openly criticized the war. Young activists also expressed disappointment that Trump has abandoned his promise to avoid overseas military adventures.
"We don't want to see more wars. We want genuine 'America First' policies, and Trump made that commitment very clearly," said Benjamin Williams, a 25-year-old marketing officer with the American Youth for Liberty, speaking to Reuters. "This truly feels like betrayal."
