Douglas Macgregor is a retired Colonel, combat veteran and former senior advisor to the U.S. Secretary of Defence. Col. Macgregor discusses why a decision has likely been made to attack Iran, and why Iran will fight with everything it has, as this is a war for survival
Macgregor’s Modern Views on Iran
If you are looking for his recent “narratives” on a potential Iran war, he frequently describes a “doom” scenario in interviews and articles (such as in The American Conservative or Foreign Policy). His current “story” of a war with Iran generally follows these beats:
- Inevitability of Failure: He argues that a conventional ground war with Iran would be a “disaster” for the U.S., potentially leading to the destruction of American naval power in the Persian Gulf.
- Regional Escalation: He predicts that any strike on Iran would immediately pull in Russia and China, effectively starting World War III.
- Economic Collapse: He often emphasises that such a war would close the Strait of Hormuz, causing a global economic depression.
