FIRST and foremost, we must
understand what is happening. This will only be possible if we move beyond the
'win-win' and 'lose-lose' concepts. I previously published a series of articles
on the theme of war. You can access them in the following order: German Fear ofWar; Everything You Need to Know About War and Lebanon, Palestine, Israel in2025 (Part 5 of 5).
I read and respect
Consortium News, an independent journal. This is why links are so important for
people looking for geopolitical information. The world is now asking who won or
lost the war. As the e-book explains, the conflict in the Middle East is about Israel defending its 'deep state', with Iran
being the only other target. See more here.
A great deal is at
stake, which is why I believe there is a connection between all wars, whether
in the Middle East, where the focus is on overthrowing the Iranian government,
or in Syria. It's similar to the situation in Ukraine, where NATO is establishing
bases closer to the Russian border. Putin wouldn't admit it — not least because
an agreement had been made that this wouldn't happen — but unfortunately that's
how the world works. People often lose sight of the main objective of each
operation, and a new narrative emerges the next day.
It's important not
to lose sight of the fact that Trump gave Iran 60 days to prove that they did
not possess nuclear weapons. The day after the deadline expired, Israel attacked Iran. Another important yet
little-discussed aspect of this war is its direct impact on the BRICS. This is
because Iran plays a pivotal
role in the Silk Road project, a collaborative initiative involving Brazil, China,
Russia, India and other partners.
Returning to the
question of compliance with international agreements, concerns about whether Iran possesses nuclear weapons overlook the fact
that Israel
has not declared its position on the matter. While Iran
has signed an agreement stating that it does not possess nuclear weapons; Israel,
however, has not signed any such document. This leads us to believe that doubts
about Iran
persist. Last but not least, what support will China
and Russia provide to their
trading partner, Iran?
Might Iran's government fall
like Syria's
did? If so, would that spell the end for the Silk Road?
Only time will tell.
