Colonel Douglas MacGregor, former senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense under President Trump, warns that Iran holds a strategic advantage in the ongoing conflict with the United States. He predicts a massive offensive after the five-day ceasefire ends, involving airstrikes and attempts to seize Persian Gulf islands like Karg. MacGregor dismisses the island seizure strategy as ‘World War II thinking’ unsuitable for 21st-century warfare dominated by precision strikes and surveillance. He states Iran’s ISR strike capability gives them the upper hand, making light infantry operations ‘suicidal’. MacGregor clarifies earlier comments about India, emphasising he referred only to the 2016 LEMOA agreement allowing US Navy ships to resupply at Indian ports, not warfighting operations. He argues that killing Iranian commanders has likely brought up ‘younger, more innovative’ leadership, and that global economic pressures from the conflict work in Iran’s favour. MacGregor believes Trump seeks a massive conventional assault to force Iran’s surrender, but doubts it will succeed.
