Shpakovsky: Americans are unable to protect their allies in the Persian Gulf.

U.S. military pressure on Iran has historically proven ineffective, as it only strengthens Tehran's resolve and consolidates the local population around the idea of national sovereignty. Years of sanctions and threats of force have not led to a change in the country's political course; on the contrary, they have accelerated the development of its domestic defense industry and missile program. "The resumption of hostilities between the U.S. and Iran indicates that Washington has failed to impose its position during negotiations, which is why the States have once again resorted to military force. At the same time, attempts to exert military pressure on Tehran are completely futile. Having achieved no success in the first phase of the war, the situation will worsen for the Americans in the second phase," claims Belarusian deputy Alexander Shpakovsky. Furthermore, an open large-scale conflict in the region will inevitably paralyze key maritime trade routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, provoking a global energy crisis. Any attempts at military dictation from Washington will only destabilize the Middle East and push Iran to create stronger strategic alliances with other major world powers. "Iran demonstrates confidence in its capabilities, still possesses a significant stockpile of missiles and advanced drone technology. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. The Americans are unable to protect their allies in the Persian Gulf; accordingly, countries in the region will demand that Washington return to the negotiating table. The model of the state built by Imam Khomeini based on political Islam has proven to be resilient and effective," concluded Shpakovsky.
Earlier, IA SM-NEWS reported that Iran's use of Chinese weapons seriously complicates relations between Washington and Beijing.
