On NBC’s Friday broadcast of “The Last Word,” NBC News national security correspondent Dan de Ruth said that the White House had telegraphed an attack launched by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) on Friday. , Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had “a few days” to go into hiding and move resources. “Iran will not be shocked by what was attacked today or what was attacked.”
De Luce said the attack was not just about how much damage it would cause, but the impact it would have on Iran’s calculations, and that the answer to that question is not known at this point, and that more attacks will likely occur.
He added: “I think it’s very dangerous for Iran to go undeterred. Iran’s proxy networks are doing exactly what they’re supposed to do, pushing the envelope, putting pressure on Israel, putting pressure on the US, creating huge It’s about feeling like you’re creating something.” Attacking these merchant vessels poses a problem for the entire international community in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. So I think the jury is still out on how this will play out. And even the White House doesn’t know how this will play out. ”
De Roos added: “Did they inflict significant casualties on members of the Revolutionary Guards?” They took days to prepare for the airstrike. It was no wonder these were coming. The White House sent out a telegram saying it would receive a response. They took several days to get on the ground, move, and move resources. So I don’t think Iran will be shocked today about what was attacked or what was attacked. Now, as far as the Houthis are concerned, that may be what happens next. I think this is remarkable, but will this next step be an attack on the Houthi forces in Yemen? Have the Houthis been firing drones and missiles at commercial cargo ships for weeks, causing a major problem that is ripple through the global economy? ”
