This interview analyzes the escalating US-Iran conflict and the shifting geopolitical landscape in West Asia. It highlights a lack of coherent US strategy, oscillating between sanctions and strikes, while Iran continues to retaliate and deplete allied missile defense stockpiles. The discussion covers critical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran can still disrupt navigation despite US claims of control. It also explores potential regional escalation involving Israel and Hezbollah, and how GCC countries are seeking alternative security alliances with Turkey and Pakistan. Finally, it examines how China, Russia, and BRICS are capitalizing on US military exhaustion to bypass sanctions, signaling a long-term global shift away from Western hegemony.
