The war in Iran now spreading across the Middle East as the US and Iran continue to exchange strikes with Egypt being drawn into the fight following a drone strike on two gas vessels. And our homeland now in the crosshairs as Iran reportedly hacks the Minnesota water system.
system. Retired Navy Seal and host of the Everyday Warrior podcast, Mike Celli.
Mike, I mean, a cyber attack on our homeland represents a new kind of escalation in this war.
How should we respond?
Yeah, you're absolutely right and God bless our cyber security professionals.
for thwarting that attack.
But it's the strategic justification and the unification that we need to continue this campaign.
I think the American people are asking why this is taking so long.
long. I think the better question is why have we allowed this tyranny to go on for decades?
Why have we avoided this conflict?
We finally have a president that has shown the fortitude to take on this problem. And guys, you know, the military campaign, there's a lot of questions.
questions. 5 months in of of what we've achieved.
I think the president needs to clearly define and compare the Iran 5 months ago to the Iran today.
They're serly severely degraded militarily.
Their leaders are exposed. Their proxies are weaker. Uh and and their ability to project uh regional disruption, they have fewer options.
We've got to commit to this campaign. Whether it takes 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months, we have them in the corner.
It's going to take a little long a little longer in terms of time, but they are weakened.
The economic fury being waged against them is crippling. We are close. We just have to be committed. We have to be persistent.
We have to pick up a sustained military operation deeper into Iran, hitting their critical infrastructure as well as hunting their leaders, put them further back on their heels, get into their their psychology.
We are there. We just have to be committed at this point or we're going to see more cyber security attacks against the homeland.
>> Yeah. To that point, Mike, if they're going after our critical infrastructure or attempting to, you mentioned we should go after there. So, are we talking bridges, roads, tunnels, power plants, and the like?
>> All the above to include energy plants and potentially oil plants. Anything that supports their ability to wage war should be on the table.
I think at this point, the the Trump administration has a lot of lessons learned. one, the initial campaign didn't materialize like we thought.
That's fine. State the facts.
We know they're weakened, but start to degrade a at the critical infrastructure and their ability to project regional disruption. We can get there.
Uh we we just have to stay there. committed and it is normal for people to ask hard questions and we should have those hard conversations. But we have a path forward and the world ultimately the region as well as the world will benefit. we're just suffering some sort short-term uh let's call it pain especially within the energy markets and at the gas pump but the possibility of what can materialize through sustained campaign and in in Iran that if diplomacy comes to to bear
>> the only form or acceptance is capitulation to whatever terms we put in front of them
>> but the problem with diplomacy is that Iran can't get its house in order you have the civilian arm of Iran saying okay you know we'd like to negotiate then you have the IRGC absolutely going rogue, striking things when you know we have ceasefires and the like. So is it even possible to negotiate with that?
>> I I think the civilian form of government within Iran is completely inept at this point and top look at it.
When we have a major crisis somewhere within the United States, sometimes martial law uh is instituted. Iran has has been weakened but it has also allowed them to become a deeper militaryrun state. The IRGC is in charge right now and that's why we need to get Israel off the bench and continue or or restart the targeting of IRGC uh leaders.
leaders. They have level different levels of leadership start to erode them start to erode them and weaken that military strength that military governance and it will it will ultimately result in outcomes that weaken Iran and lead us towards that capitulation.
And Mike, if somehow, and I don't know how this happens, but if somehow you could then, following what you said, arm the people, arm the citizens, 80 to 90% who despise the IRGC, then you could potentially get into, I'll use the phrase regime, regime change, or something near that to get the ball moving and to get our actions there to actually lead to something different for the people and the region.
Mike Celli, great insight as always.
Thank you, sir. Have a great weekend.
