Pepe Escobar: How Iran Just DESTROYED 50 Years of US DOMINANCE in the Middle East

from Dialogue Works

A fragile ceasefire between Iran and the U.S. is unfolding amid deep mistrust, conflicting demands, and ongoing regional violence. Mediation efforts, particularly through Pakistan, have exposed miscommunication and political manipulation on multiple sides. While negotiations begin, both camps appear to be using the pause to regroup militarily. Iran is seen as holding strategic leverage, especially around the Strait of Hormuz, while global powers like China and Russia play complex behind-the-scenes roles. Despite talks, a lasting agreement seems unlikely, with tensions, competing interests, and the risk of escalation still dominating the landscape. Hosted on Acast.
