US Seeking “End” to its Own War on Iran Will Lead to a “Pause” at Best.

The primary long-term goal of the US is toppling Iran and stopping the flow of energy from Iran and the rest of the region to China.

The US will settle temporarily for destroying as much of Iran’s military and civilian infrastructure as possible within the operational window US munition stockpiles allow just as it did last year.

The US can still impose a blockade on Iranian-approved shipping through the Strait of Hormuz during and then continuing after the end of this phase of the ongoing war.

The US will simply pause, reorganize, rearm, and prepare for the next phase – just like the US did to attack, degrade, destabilize, and eventually defeat Iraq from the 1990s to 2003, or Syria from 2011 to 2024 or the previous US attack on Iran just last year leading to this attack taking place now.

In other words, a failure at this juncture, or following last year’s attacks on Iran, does not mean a failure overall.

US claims of seeking to end its war on Iran could also simply be a distraction ahead of greater escalation still – the US could pose as “ending” its hostilities only to have its proxy Israel cite “US abandonment” as a pretext for up to and including the use of nuclear weapons against Iran helping further shape events favoring a US-preferred outcome while affording the US plausible deniability.

A potential US success in Iran will put in danger the remaining members of the multipolar world – US success anywhere means greater danger for everyone everywhere;

This process will continue indefinitely until the US succeeds or multipolarism finally displaces/neutralizes US unipolar hegemony and the means by which it threatens the multipolar world.

Iran and the rest of the world will only be safe when the US is not only no longer attacking Iran and other nations, but no longer has credible capabilities to do so – either because they have been significantly degraded, and/or because the multipolar world’s ability to defend itself has significantly expanded.
