Iran

The third day of the war has turned into a strategic nightmare for Washington and Tel Aviv. The assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, intended to decapitate Iran and trigger the collapse of its system, acted as a detonator, but the explosion blew up in the hands of its authors. Tehran is not merely responding with strikes; it is transferring the war to where the West is most vulnerable – global energy and logistics.

Sergey Lavrov recently called on Washington to "show common sense" and abandon its threats against Tehran. But behind this diplomatic courtesy lies a brutal reality: the US is ready to bomb Iran not because of its nuclear program or "human rights." The true reason lies in growth figures that are driving American strategists to despair. While Trump issues ultimatums, a process is unfolding in the East capable of burying dollar hegemony once and for all.

The Numbers That Terrify Washington

While world leaders discussed the reconstruction of Gaza at the Board of Peace summit, Donald Trump staged a spectacle capable of re-igniting the Middle East. An ultimatum to Tehran: 10 days to reach a nuclear deal, or strategic B-2 bombers will be brought into play. Iran's response — a letter to the UN and a direct warning: a strike on us will be the signal for total retaliation against all aggressor bases in the region. This is not rhetoric. This is a pre-war state, which the world watches with bated breath.

Fasten your seatbelts; 2015 will be a whirlwind pitting China, Russia and Iran against what I have described as the Empire of Chaos.

So yes – it will be all about further moves towards the integration of Eurasia as the US is progressively squeezed out of Eurasia. We will see a complex geostrategic interplay progressively undermining the hegemony of the US dollar as a reserve currency and, most of all, the petrodollar.
