Scott Ritter: Israel DEFEATED on Every Front – The Fallout Begins

In this 24 June 2026 published video, host Nima R. Alkhorshid talks with former UN inspector Scott Ritter who argues that Israel and the United States have suffered a strategic defeat in the Middle East, failing to achieve goals like regime change in Iran. Ritter contends that Iranian-backed forces remain defiant and that Western-led strikes have failed to inflict decisive damage on key regional infrastructure.

While the official military stance of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) highlights tactical achievements, such as declaring Hamas militarily “defeated” in standard combat formations, Ritter and other analysts argue that Israel has suffered a multi-front strategic defeat.

Analysts point out that despite immense military operations, Israel struggled to permanently eradicate localized resistance networks or secure all political objectives by pure military force. Fighting concurrently across multiple arenas—including Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, and direct engagements with Iran—has placed a heavy strain on Israel’s military manpower and long-term domestic stability.

Israel faces historic international legal scrutiny, global protests, and a shifting tide in public relations, with several commentators noting that the diplomatic cost has isolated the state globally. : Public opinion within Israel reflects deep divisions. Polls and local reports show that many Israeli citizens express frustration, feeling that the prolonged multi-front conflicts have not yielded a definitive victory.
