In this clip, James Myburgh says people commenting on America's approach to the Iran war fail to understand how sustained US pressure may be accelerating regime change by exploiting internal fractures rather than defeating the regime outright.
9 minIn this clip Dr James Myburgh unpacks how media coverage of the Iran war fails to understand it using well-established revolutionary strategic doctrine. James points out that any revolutionary understands that they can never seize power from a coherent regime. So, instead, their goal is to divide the regime, and thereafter exploit the fractures within the state to effect regime change. Using those assumptions to underpin his analysis he demonstrates that the constant military pressure campaign applied by the United States on the Iranian regime has (whether knowingly or not) made the chance of regime change more likely and not less.
