Summary
For years, the United States and Israel argued that war with Iran was inevitable, but after four months of conflict, soaring oil prices, disruption to the Strait of Hormuz and global economic uncertainty, Iran has emerged stronger while many of Washington’s objectives remain unfulfilled. As a ceasefire agreement approaches, we examine the strategic failures of the US and Israel, the collapse of the regime change narrative, the return of diplomacy, the future of Iran's nuclear program, and what this conflict reveals about power, geopolitics and the changing balance of influence in the Middle East. #AUSPOL Subscribe to New Politics for weekly briefings and full analysis: www.newpolitics.com.au Support New Politics: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Substack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing: ‘La Femme d’Argent’, AIR.
