Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent statements on Iran, claiming that it no longer poses an existential threat to the regime is a complete strategic failure that suggests he is leaving office “defeated,” says an analyst.
Patricia Marins, a Brazilian military analyst, in a post on X on Thursday, characterized Netanyahu’s remarks not as a sign of strength, but as the ultimate admission of failure.
“There is nothing more defeatist than this. It is 100% defeatist rhetoric,” Marins said.
Her critique centers on the unfulfilled war objectives that Netanyahu himself had laid out.
According to Marins, he had consistently articulated three primary goals regarding Iran: regime change, limiting Iran’s missile capabilities, and dismantling its nuclear program.
“He has achieved none of these objectives,” Marins stated.
Instead, she maintained, the war has saddled Israel with staggering economic damage.
Marins cited operational costs and broader economic losses to paint a picture of a war that has yielded no strategic gains at a prohibitive financial price.

“He has saddled Israel with $60-80 billion in losses from this war,” she said, breaking down the daily expenditures. “Each day of operations, including interceptors and material damage, costs between $1.5-2 billion, based on the spending during the 12-day war.”
She noted that the full scope of the damage is still being calculated, with thousands of compensation claims already filed for direct damage caused by Iranian missile attacks.
The analyst said the Israeli ministry of finance estimates the broader economic loss at $3 billion per week.
Marins framed the outcome as a direct consequence of what she called Netanyahu’s “megalomania,” noting that his approach has created more problems than solutions.
The analyst suggested that Israel’s aggressive posture may have backfired strategically regarding Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
“If the Iranians hadn’t built a nuclear weapon before, now they have every reason to do so,” Marins said.

The debt damage is irrelevant. The USA will pay for this with a loan that is never paid back.
Netanyahu’s legacy may be the abandonment of Israel. It doesn’t take a day or two for that, a year or two will do if enough people leave and it becomes unviable as a state. Even if Iran stops pounding it with missiles which seems unlikely, ground forces resistance movements Hamas and Hezbollah are unlikely to retreat until the murderous entity is finished, and other Arab forces may join them.
Trump would share that legacy and more. He may end the US.
Israel needn’t worry about money. Any shortfall in the amounts jews around the world give to their home base will be made up for by US govt. aid.
Is the war being escalated or deescalated? It depends on who you listen to.

First of all, the facts are that the true objectives of Israel go a lot further than what Marins and the lying BeBe says. The evidence is that despite what the war does to the the global economy, the Zio heads want to keep it going, even with some major destruction in Israel. Their objective it to make Iran into another failed state clearing it away for the long-planned Israeli expansion in the Levant and to control what is now called “West Asia” instead of the Middle East.
We hear all of this one-sided talk and moralizing from people we trust saying that the Israeli/American “Axis” underestimated the strength and determination of Iran. We sap up Marandi of how the Iranians have been preparing for this war for the past 30 or 40 years, knowing the intentions of Israel/America. Yet, the only real obstacle to total war which the Axis wants to wage, are about half of the people of the US and the rest of the West, knowing this is one more “unjust” war, and who still seem to care about right and wrong.
The fact is that both sides have been preparing for this war for the past 30 to 40 years, and if anyone thinks that Iran is “smarter” or more prepared for it than this Axis of Evil they are gravely mistaken. Everything the Trump administration has said has been fake. It was planned that the seemingly overaggressive Israel struck the first blow, and that as a result the US was “dragged” into the war, and with repeated lies that it would be very short war, with a precision “decapitation” of the leadership, which only deliberately added more fuel to the conflict. Then we hear all of the BS about ongoing negotiations and that the war will be over in 2 or 3 weeks while the US is using its high-altitude B52 fleet dropping huge bunker bombs on Iranian targets blowing mountain with missile silos and underground bunkers to smithereens.
The evidence is that the Axis and the globalist establishment, both of which are controlled by the Rothschild dynasty, want to clear away the heart of Islamic resurgence, except where it can be used to suppress and persecute Christianity. For their Asian development plans and silk roads from their prodigy nation of China to their own tribal prodigy nation of the Greater Israel to control and dominate “West Asia”, and to become the great trade hub of the world connecting Asia, Africa and Europe, they cannot afford have a powerful Jew-hating nation like Iran in the middle of things and on Israel’s doorstep. However, they can afford to throw away a few trillion to get rid of Iran.
This is a long planned war and as the Iranians have been building their secret factories for drones and missiles, you can be sure that both Axis nations along with the help of other Rothschild holdings such as the UK, know where every mountain and underground complex is located, and exactly how to destroy all of them. As for Iran shutting down the Straight of Hurmuz, in retaliation Iran is in effect waging war on other nations, all of which create the threat of economic depression , widespread starvation, and a WWIII. “Coincidentally”, those are the exact fears which the globalist arm of the Rothschild dynasty needs to generate to herd the people of the world into the waiting technocratic control grids – to make them “safe”. The globalist wing is made up mainly by the international banking cartel, the major corporations, most of our governments, and the international communist movement, all of which are subject to the power of that dynasty.
Simon Dixon who appears to be a reasonably independent analyst, provides interesting commentary on some of the major power blocks more or less at war with one another, which he identifies as the “FIC” (the Financial Industrial Complex), the “MIC” (the Military Industrial Complex), and the “TIC” (the Technological Industrial Complex). He identifies the Trump administration with the FIC, which if true would made this war with Iran another Rothschild war, like the others in the Middle East. The problem is that Dixon’s analysis is so complex that no one can really understand it very well, and he ignores the fact that all three powers are very much intertwined. He also, as a good Jew, plays down the present role of Jewish ownership and control, as well as the Jewish desire for global dominance, future Rothschild globalist plans, and the centrality of the Rothschild dynasty to this very war now being waged against Iran.
