Is the US about to destroy Iran and put a Shah as ruler, just like 1953???

An Arab friend sent me a bunch of screenshots of some Flight Radar or Flight Aware displays of all the aircraft in the air over Qatar, and then showed another screenshot of one of those Qatari planes flying near San Diego, CA and said this shows the US will destroy the Ayatollah regime in Iran and put in the Shah in a day or two. He also had a screenshot showing a US military refueling plane over Iraq, and an unidentified flying object (information blacked out by whoever sent it) flying over the Gulf with Two Names that lies between Qatar and Iran, and said this was an armed drone of some kind. I asked, 'Predator?' and he said, 'No, but I can't say any more.'

He said Iran are very weak, the entire Army will desert as soon as the first American bombs start falling, then something like the Venezuela raid, but taking out the government, not abducting it, and most of the Iranian people will gleefully welcome the return of a Shah.

I noted that those same sources say Russia are losing badly in the Ukraine, that Russia have no supply lines, so the Russian soldiers in the Ukraine have nothing to eat but their dead comrades, killed by the advanced NATO weapons that the Ukrainians are using to demolish the Russian army which only have old Soviet weapons from WWII, patched together with washing machine parts. Since he is Orthodox, he says those sources are obviously wrong, and no one believes them, but the sources reporting that Iran are on the verge of defeat are obviously correct.

I tried to point out that his two distinct sources, one completely reliable and the other completely unreliable are, in fact, the same source: basically, the mainstream media in the US/UK/EU all say that Iran are very weak, a US/Israeli attack will kill all the Ayatollahs and do a repeat of 1953 when the US gaoled Mossadegh for stealing British oil and installed the Shah, who promised that all the oil in Iran belongs to BP, with half the profits going to the UK and half to the US and none to Iran; they all also say that Russia are very weak, most of the Russian army have been destroyed, and the Ukrainians are winning easily. He  replied that I obviously don't know anything, anyone can just look at the pictures he sent me and Iran's immediate return to the Shah is obviously just a few days, maybe just a few hours away, while Russia's victory is obvious and probably very soon.

 I have not seen a single mainstream media source that does not agree that Iran were badly damaged in the 12 day war, and will quickly and totally lose the next war, and that Russia is only a few months from total defeat and having to accept being broken up and paying all their energy and mineral resources as war reparations.

On social media, one can find anything, from more extreme, more graphic versions of what the mainstream media are saying (but with poorer production values), or a complete denial of what the mainstream media are saying.

It was an interesting Friday night chat. I can't say that I learned anything, except that reading two stories from the same source, he figures they are either two completely different sources, or one source that have some accurate reporters and some totally inaccurate reporters.
