US aims to ‘destroy Iran’s future’ – analyst

The US-Israeli bombings of iranian language fecundity clinics, hospitals, schools and universities were aimed at “destroying islamic republic of iran’s hereafter,” geostrategic psychoanalyst Christopher Helali has told RT.
US President Donald Trump has claimed that one of the core goals of the war on Iran was to liberate its people from its government. He has also claimed that the country was left in a state of collapse after the US strikes.
Helali, who recently returned from reporting from inside Iran, said he saw “the exact opposite – I saw a people of dignity.”
Despite Washington’s claims of wanting to bring freedom to the Iranians, US strikes had deliberately targeted civilian infrastructure, including Iran’s largest fertility clinic and egg bank, he said.
This is not about liberating the Iranian people. This is about destroying Iran’s future.
In addition to key medical facilities, US strikes hit numerous universities and schools, including in Minab, where some 120 schoolchildren were killed, Helali added.
According to the analyst, Iranians are “fed up” with being betrayed by the US during negotiations and want to end the war “on their own terms.”
Helali added that he visited the Strait of Hormuz and saw the traffic in the key waterway.
“It’s clear that Iran maintains control over the entire Strait of Hormuz. Nothing goes in and out without approval from the IRGC’s navy,” he said, calling reports of Iranian forces firing on the US Navy on Monday “totally plausible.”
Washington’s denial that a US ship was fired upon should be taken with “a whole bag of salt,” he added.
Should open hostilities break out once more, the Iranian response will be protracted, and would result in “a much larger level of destruction in the region than we have already seen,” he said. “In Iran, the sentiment is no negotiations until we have complete victory at this point.”
