Message from the IRGC and the Usual Scuttlebutt


Two days ago I posted this sentence on a blog titled, "How not to run a war":

"Do not take into consideration that your opponent might engage a new form of asymmetrical warfare by erasing red lines."

Today - this announcement.

 The Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced:

"After monitoring, tracking, and precise study, and fully identifying the enemies' weaknesses during the first three weeks of the war, the intelligence and operational commanders in the Revolutionary Guard introduced new offensive tactics and more advanced systems to the battlefield to begin a round new from the pivotal impact operations. And the battlefield will become narrower and more difficult for the enemy than it was before. Doctrine Change: Jumping from a range of 2000 km to 4000 km is an explicit Iranian declaration of its transformation into a global power unbound by old red lines. Tehran now is the one drawing the boundaries of engagement and deciding the fate of the American presence. Global Paralysis: Iran's Fiery Control Over the Indian Ocean Means Commanding the Nerves of Global Trade and Energy. A Clear Message to Allies: "America, Incapable of Protecting Its Farthest Bases, Will Not Protect Your Nearby Centers."

Additional thoughts by the poster:

A Reading on Geopolitical Transformations: Far from the U.S. administration's attempts to fabricate achievements from the womb of its strategic errors, the field imposes a new reality that cannot be ignored. American deterrence has eroded completely; bases and embassies have been evacuated, and fleets are retreating 1,000 km from Iranian shores, while the Strait of Hormuz Out of service. On the flip side, the Tel Aviv scene is starting to mirror Gaza's devastation.
Most strategically important: The region's capitals have grasped the death of the concept of “rented national security,” and Iran has imposed itself as a major player in the new global order, to the point that Europe is fleeing any military entanglement.

Tammy's thoughts:

I took note of the word "womb" for a specific concern related to Arabic and the Qur'an. I do not expect you to understand nor grasp sentimental significance.

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

Mohamed Elhassan He is powerful, made up of imperceptible layers.  He was only in his mid-teens when he first heeded the call to political action traveling to the Republic Palace of President Jafar Nimeiri seeking justice for his family. He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend". Mohamed Elhassan is president of the Sudanese Gathering Accord.  He is a man who knows his business, takes care of his business, and more importantly, takes care of his people. Less than a month ago he tra...

State of the Union:  Live Blogging Tammy and Blackfoot will begin live blogging shortly.  Grab your favorite drink and your BINGO cards and get ready to settle in for two hours of our POTUS speaking at SOTU.  We hope to keep this fun! https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/02/state-of-union-bingo-cards.html __________________ Here we go, gang! "Gang" in the friendly family way, not in the Tren de Aragua way. President Trump and Mrs. Trump have left the White House and are on their way to the Capitol. I'm sure these past few days have been chock full of leafing through journals and diaries, and holding meetings with the inner circle for messaging strategies. Regardless of how much input his team gives him, we can always rely on our POTUS to not mince words, to lay the facts on the table and give us straight talk. Recently saw Newsom talking about Trump being an actor, and that he's a different person in different situations. Once again, Gavin is projecting his weakne...
