Iran, the collapse of Western strategy - where empires lose the plot
The enduring logic of civilizations vis-à-vis brute Western arrogance
GOA- Traditional Western approaches (like regime change or containment) towards Iran are failing due to Iran's deep historical roots, revolutionary ideology, and resilience, leading to a shift in global power, where the "West" loses legitimacy as multipolar dynamics emerge, and Iran's strategic endurance, though marked by internal fragility and regional conflict, challenges the old international order. It suggests Western strategies often misjudge Iran's ideological drivers and deep cultural identity, leading to prolonged conflict rather than collapse, as seen in the shifting global landscape favoring non-Western actors.
