Sanchez Effect | War against Iran 'is an illegal war of aggression' — Scott Ritter

In the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect,’ we dive into the chaos of a war that Washington promised would be quick and painless. Reality tells a different story - Ritter argues that America has already dropped the ball. Instead of toppling Khamenei, they’ve inadvertently made him a martyr; now, people rally around his legacy, vowing to avenge his demise. Trump’s strategy? It changes with the wind - he doesn’t have one. And he’s not alone; his close ally, Pete Hegseth, is equally lost as America flounders in its military objectives.

Ritter foresees a grim future: the US will exhaust its defence options long before Iran runs out of ways to strike back. Rick questions why interceptors aren’t taking down missiles - why are Iranian rockets slipping through? Aren’t those fancy US missiles supposed to work? Ritter points out Iranians are outsmarting Washington, rendering radars blind and deaf while launching a frenzy of outdated missiles to overload defences before unleashing their more advanced weaponry.

And let’s not forget Turkiye - it’s not innocent in this mess either, and Ritter reveals its agenda. Meanwhile, RT correspondent Yasin Eken joins us from Turkiye and weighs in on whether Ankara might throw its hat into the ring. Get the full scoop only on RT!
