Luhut Praises Iran's War Strategy Against US-Israel, Says Iran is an Aryan Nation Never Colonised

In the midst of the ongoing heated Middle East conflict, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, Head of the National Economic Council (DEN), has praised Iran’s war strategy. According to him, Iran demonstrated remarkable cunning in retaliating against attacks launched by the United States and its allies.

Luhut stated that Iran is highly skilled in leveraging technology. “I call this a technology war. You can see how cleverly Iran used cheap drones that can fly 2,000 kilometres and are very accurate in attacking and hitting any target. Iran manufactures these inexpensive drones that create extraordinary impact and significant difficulties for America. So America must destroy the drone production centres and air defence systems,” Luhut said while speaking at a public lecture at Jenderal Achmad Yani University (Unjani) Auditorium in Cimahi, West Java on Wednesday (11 March 2026).

At the public lecture attended by 25,637 students and 1,090 teaching staff at Unjani Cimahi, themed “Optimising the Role and Character of Students in Utilising the Demographic Dividend to Achieve Indonesian Emas 2045”, Luhut discussed the outbreak of conflict between America and its allies, Israel, against Iran.

Luhut stated that the current conditions are impacting the global economy, which faces the highest level of uncertainty in history. This is due to a series of conflicts beginning with the Russia-Ukraine war, followed by tensions between America and Venezuela over the detention of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by Delta Force, and now the outbreak of war between America-Israel and Iran.
