Iran may be losing the military contest with the United States. But it is fighting a different war—one aimed at the global economy.
Over the past 12 days, the United States has demonstrated clear military superiority. Iran’s navy has been severely degraded, with more than 50 ships sunk or damaged; its retaliatory missile launches are down more than 90 percent; and its air force has been grounded. On the battlefield, the scorecard favors Washington, despite risks of escalation.
Strategically, the picture is far less certain. Even as the Trump administration struggles to define its objectives—be it decapitating Iranian leadership, destroying Iran’s nuclear capability, or pursuing regime change—it must confront a new reality.
The United States and Israel are fighting the Islamic Republic. Iran is fighting the global economy.

It’s incredible how every time America goes somewhere to “give freedom”, they find oil.

It seems to me that all 3 major players in this war at are at war with the global economy. US and Israel attack first and don’t anticipate or prepare for the closure of the strait of Hormuz? They attack Iran’s O&G infrastructure and say „Iran is destroying the global economy“ when they retaliate?
If they’re not doing it intentionally we have to atleast concede they’re okay with the collateral damage. Which, given scale of the loss of innocent lives in other wars in the region, doesn’t surprise me.

So why are we bombing schools if we are against a regime?
