From the horse's mouth:
How the war on Iran by a declining US empire is tied to its power struggle with rising power, China.
Trump, Hegseth, et al. may in fact be unaware of the geostrategic intentions of the backroom guys who determine US war policy.
Plus a great deal more about where, how & why geopolitics are heading.
Interview: "Trump’s Iran Strategy: Bluff, Blackmail or Real War?"
The Americans had "a poor assessment, not only of Iranian capabilities, but, more importantly, of Iran's willingness to match Israel & American aggression step by step."
~Mouin Rabbani, analyst
"This war is not just about Iran—it’s about shifting global power, the future of the Middle East, & the fate of Palestine."

The Iran war threatens US domination of the oil market (petrodollar).
What happens when countries try to break the dollar’s grip on energy trade? Look at what happened in 2003 to Iraq after it moved to price Iraq’s oil exports in euros instead of US dollars.
In 2021, Iran began selling up to 95% of its oil in yuan. That's ok, said the US, "as long as the practice remained limited to Iran. It did not"
Report: Trump is "repeating every foreign policy mistake in the last 50 years".
Trump is doing it “with a gracelessness, cluelessness, & corruption that has no precedent”.
~Richard Stengel, fmr undersecretary of state
Stengel previously said "Trump has been acting as a one-man negotiator-in-chief doing a real estate deal rather than diplomacy."

Analysis: How a war at sea threatens US domination of the oil market (the petrodollar).
The 2003 occupation of Iraq told the region's oil exporters: If you try to break the dollar’s grip on energy trade, you risk copping vast political & military pressure.
In 2021, Iran began selling up to 95% of its oil in yuan. OK, said the US, "as long as the practice remained limited to Iran."
"It did not"
