Former U.S. ambassador: This war is a "life-and-death battle" for Iran; resilience under pressure exceeds expectations

Golden Finance reports on April 24. According to Al Jazeera, Adam Ereli, the former U.S. ambassador to Bahrain, shared his views on Iran’s resilience and nature in the face of attacks by the U.S. and Israel: “The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has ‘revolutionary enthusiasm,’ which means they are able to survive. Iran’s ability to endure pain is much longer than most U.S. decision-makers have calculated. It remains unclear how long Tehran can hold out under the ‘siege situation’ imposed by the U.S., but it is very likely to last much longer than the U.S. expects—especially in terms of their willingness to submit to Americans. They have a sense of pride and survival awareness; for them, this is a war of life and death. They must survive. For us, this is a ‘selective war.’ We can withdraw and step back tomorrow, and the U.S. will be just fine. But for Iran, it’s different—this is a ‘battle for survival.’”(Jin10)
