Farhikhtegan wrote in a commentary about the bitter outcome of Pete Hegseth’s dream: In the real world, wars are not measured by the scale of destruction; they are measured by their results.

How Iran holds the key to America’s defeat
HAFIZABAD, Pakistan -In modern warfare, victory is rarely determined by statistics alone.

Today, we pose a fundamental question: Why are the immense military efforts against Iran destined to fail? The answer lies not in the balance of fighter jets or warships, but in the strategic transformation of a single, vital geographical location: the Strait of Hormuz. This narrow waterway is no longer merely a maritime passage; it has become a potent strategic weapon capable of challenging the very pillars of the global balance of power.
