Well, howdy there, internet people.
It's Bo again.
So today, we are going to talk about Iran, the US,
and a surprising entity within the United States
kind of taking up for Iran.
So one of the common things that has occurred on this channel
is we've consistently pointed out that U.S. media likes to call different groups Iranian
proxies, but they're not really proxies.
And we've hinted to this and made it very clear at times that Iran doesn't actually
have control over these groups.
They have influence, and that's a big difference.
It turns out that the U.S. intelligence community has come to the same conclusion, albeit two
years too late, I guess, but they have recently discovered that Iran has kind of been telling
their non-state actors to chill out, and their non-state actors, they've just been doing
whatever they want because, again, it's influence not control.
It's worth noting this for a number of reasons.
One, it's accurate.
It's something that we've talked about for at least two years on the channel.
The other reason it's important is this information coming out the way it is kind of leads me
to believe that the United States is doing everything it can to avoid a direct confrontation
with Iran and is probably having very frank discussions with them.
It would not surprise me if the United States had a shared interest with Iran when it came
to the removal of certain elements of leadership in these non-state actors that are harder
to influence. That seems like something that might be likely. And then there's
the question that came in. Now that this news has gone out, a couple of people
have asked, you know, do you believe the US intelligence community on this one?
I mean, yeah, like, honestly, can you think of anybody else that would be better at determining
whether or not a state had lost control of its non-state actors?
I mean, nobody has more experience at it, that's for sure.
I do think, I do believe that this is real.
I believe that's an honest assessment on their part.
And I think that it coming out now, in the way that it is, is indicative of them trying
to avoid a wider conflict.
Again, the information itself that Iran doesn't have total control over its non-state actors,
I guess it is new for the U.S. intelligence community to acknowledge that, but I mean,
again, we've talked about it for years on the channel, that it's just been very poorly
framed by the media, and this may be a situation where the U.S. kind of believed its own propaganda,
And I don't believe Iran ever had the amount of control that is sometimes indicated.
I don't even know that they ever tried to have that much control.
But I think the U.S. intelligence community acknowledging that Iran doesn't have that
I think that's probably a good thing for keeping the temperature low anyway it's
It's just a thought, y'all have a good day.
