Iran will surrender its strengths for protracted war. It has no solidarity received from any in Global South or nonaligned movement. at UN level by China & Russia, a negotiated outcome is coming but after GCC EU Israel have taken it apart colonially
The friction continues no end
🇺🇸/IRAN - More US Strikes On Iran
▪️It's clear the US was planning escalation, seeking to knock over whatever Iran was trying to rebuild following the February-March US aggression, used Israel to break the illusion of ceasefire to escalate, and is attempting to dismantle parts of Iranian defenses particularly along the coasts;
▪️This will continue the same way the US has maintained cycles of fake talks and escalation vis-a-vis Russia in Ukrainen;
▪️Essentially this is "mowing the grass," rather than "paving the lawn" because US military industrial production simply is incapable of providing the capabilities to do the latter;
▪️US policy toward Iran mirrors its Russian policy, placing multi-domain pressure on Iran in the hopes synergies between pressures cause something somewhere to crack;
▪️There is also the continued controlled demolition of West Asian energy exports & the global economy - forcing China to replace up to 50% of its imported energy;
▪️ by cutting off other nations in Asia, including US proxies/potential proxies, it increases energy dependence in Asia on the US, thus enhancing US leverage in disrupting their respective ties to China, just as the US did to Europe regarding Russian energy exports.
▪️Meanwhile, the US continues preparing Europe to confront Russia more directly amid the US proxy war in Ukraine;
▪️As warned all the way back in February 2025, the US is using a "division of labor" to maintain the war in Ukraine through Europe while pivoting primary attention to its war on Iran and further encircling China in the process;
▪️Whether it works or not is up to the multipolar world - it has prepared for this campaign of global aggression and is weathering it - but so far appears unable to deter the US from escalating;
