Question
Pepe Escobar Meets Iran’s Aerospace Commander: Operation True Promise III – Iran’s Strategic Patience and Readiness

Will It Be Activated?

In a recent interview, journalist Pepe Escobar engaged with Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force, at the IRGC Aerospace Museum. Escobar posed a pivotal question regarding "Operation True Promise III," inquiring whether Iran plans to proceed with this operation, especially in light of escalating tensions with Israel.

General Hajizadeh responded by emphasizing Iran's readiness and strategic patience. He indicated that while Iran possesses the capability to execute such an operation, any action would be contingent on specific provocations or developments. This exchange underscores the delicate balance Iran maintains between demonstrating military preparedness and exercising restraint in the face of regional tensions.

The Questions to ask Ourselves

“If this suffering was happening to us — would we still call it peacekeeping?”

“What are we willing to ignore so we can keep calling ourselves free?”

“If their children were ours —
Do we not give them bread & peace?”
