## Resource

Explore the strategic dynamics of the ongoing conflicts involving Russia, Iran, and the US. This interview examines the growing public opinion split in Russia regarding military escalation and argues that Moscow could learn from the "Iranian model" of asymmetric warfare. Rather than traditional military escalation, this approach targets the economic vulnerabilities, stock markets, and supply chains of the adversary to create domestic political pressure. The discussion also covers how drone warfare in the Black Sea impacts the Russian economy ahead of national elections, and analyzes US political calculations, market manipulations, and Washington's confidence in maintaining its geopolitical strategy despite global pushback.
