Iranian Parliament Speaker Kalibaf’s recent post mockingly highlights that the core strategy is to leverage the recent military setbacks of the U.S. military inside Iran to launch an efficient “public opinion war.” The strategic intentions behind this and the current situation are as follows:

🔥 Event Focus: Information Warfare and Psychological Warfare

Basis for Mockery: The mockery directly targets two major battlefield defeats of the U.S. military within two days—an advanced fighter jet (F-35/F-15) shot down, followed by an attack on rescue aircraft (Black Hawk helicopters, C-130). Iran has turned military victories into political and public opinion humiliation by showcasing wreckage photos.

“Win three more times and it will be destroyed”: This sarcastic remark is highly contagious. Its underlying message is: if the U.S. military experiences a few more similar “victories” (i.e., costly triumphs with equipment and personnel losses), its global military prestige and domestic political foundation will become unsustainable. This directly undermines U.S. deterrence.

⚔️ Latest Developments (as of April 5)

Military Level: The conflict has escalated from “air confrontation” to “deep territorial offense and defense.” Iran has demonstrated its ability to detect, intercept, and destroy U.S. stealth aircraft and subsequent rescue forces, far exceeding external expectations.

Political Level: Iran aims to undermine the war will of the U.S. and its allies through public humiliation, while boosting its own morale. The U.S. response has been low-key, only noting “successful action and personnel safety,” without publicly admitting losses, indicating a passive stance.

🌍 Potential Impact on Global Situation

Risk of Conflict Spiral Escalation: Continuous setbacks for the U.S. military may force retaliatory actions from Middle Eastern bases or allied targets, risking out-of-control situations.

Market Safe-Haven Flows: Gold, crude oil, and the US dollar will continue to see safe-haven buying. The “digital gold” attribute of cryptocurrencies (especially Bitcoin) may be temporarily reinforced, but volatility will increase.

U.S. Strategic Credibility Damage: This incident will shake regional allies’ trust in the U.S. military’s “absolute advantage,” possibly prompting countries like Saudi Arabia and Israel to reassess their security strategies.

Summary: Iran’s move is not merely a “name-calling contest,” but a carefully planned cognitive domain operation. It aims to prove to the world that the U.S. is not invincible militarily and can be mocked in public opinion. The key going forward is whether the U.S. will choose to “de-escalate quietly” or “escalate retaliation.”
