## Resource

The US-Iran conflict is escalating rapidly. Following recent American strikes on Iranian infrastructure and Tehran's retaliation across the Gulf, global energy markets face a massive shock. This deep-dive analysis unpacks Washington's true motives: seizing control of Middle Eastern oil and the Strait of Hormuz. Why is the US relying on air power, and how is Iran successfully countering with asymmetric warfare? We also explore the severe economic fallout—including soaring oil prices and inflation—and how BRICS, China, and Russia are dismantling American sanctions. Discover how this undeclared war exposes the limits of US imperial overreach and accelerates the decline of Western global hegemony. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
