Colonel Douglas Macgregor warns US and Israel have lost the Iran war

Retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor argues that American and Israeli policies have failed to contain Iran, leaving the United States without a viable strategy in the region. He says Iran has emerged stronger, controls the Strait of Hormuz, and that the current approach risks a broader conflict that could draw major powers into a de‑escalating war. Macgregor also criticises Western leaders in Washington, London, Paris and Berlin, claiming their rhetoric pushes the world toward a possible World War III. He warns that Israel’s aggressive actions in Gaza have turned it into a pariah and that Iran’s expanding arsenal could strike U.S. interests, raising the chance of a regional war expanding globally.
