Political history seldom repeats, but it often rhymes - so here is Patrick Wintour laying out an argument that the US/Israeli attack(s) on Iran are looking like becoming the Tangerine Tyrant's Suez.... the parallels may not be exact, but there's a certain plausibility to the argument about how this might be the beginning of the end of US hegemony.

As I have pointed out before its compounding already existing drivers towards a global pivot away form the US.

Is Iran Trump’s Suez crisis, or just a passing thunderstorm?

Britain’s standing in the world was never the same after its assault on Egypt in 1956. Now the US risks repeating history in the Middle East

"Only 12% of those polled in March in Poland, Spain, Belgium, France, Germany and Italy saw the US as a close ally, while 36% saw it as a threat. By contrast, China was seen as a threat by 29% of those polled across the six countries."
