While Washington touts a \"memorandum of understanding,\" Iran demands frozen asset releases and an end to Israeli attacks on Lebanon—conditions Israel rejects. The discussion highlights Iran’s strategic dominance, evidenced by its control over the Strait of Hormuz and successful retaliation against US bases after strikes on civilian water infrastructure. With Trump relying on informal envoys rather than diplomats, credibility is low. The interview argues that US hegemony is crumbling as Russia, China, and Iran form a de facto alliance, exploiting American military attrition from Ukraine. Expect continued instability rather than genuine peace, as the US struggles to maintain influence in a multipolar Middle East.</p>","author_name":"Nima Rostami Alkhorshid"}
