“Iran does not appear to seek territorial conquest. Nor is it attempting to recreate a Persian empire.

The facts point to a different goal: Regional primacy.

In practical terms, that means becoming the state with the greatest influence over security, energy flows, and the political decisions of its neighbors”

“Whereas the US is comfortable with either a possible deal or a low-level exchange of fire, but not a return to full-scale war, Tehran is comfortable with a possible deal or a full-scale war, but not with a low-level exchange of fire that erodes Iran’s deterrence and allows for Trump’s ‘blockade of the blockade’ to become effective”

“The 1991 Gulf War taught the world that America could control escalation.

The 2026 Iran War may become remembered as the conflict that taught the world that even overwhelming military superiority no longer guarantees political control.

That would not simply change the Middle East.

It would change the assumptions that have governed world politics since 1991”

US (or any western nation) can't be trusted.

The civilized and law obeying picture they put in front of their true, ugly face is just a thin cover.

They will break any agreement, anytime it suits them.

And they're all united, always.
