We are seeing a new large-scale war. What lessons does the global majority need to learn from what happened between the USA and Iran?

Getting used to the impossible

Then came the US-British invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and the international order continued to crumble before our eyes. And then we simply lost count: the endless Israeli lawlessness against Palestine and Lebanon, the West’s aggression against Libya, “color revolutions”, the West’s arming of Ukrainian Nazis, their extermination of Russians in the Donbas, coups, and Western-orchestrated civil conflicts in African countries…

Perhaps this year’s gloomy February-March period will also be remembered as the moment when news of another shocking redivision of the world arrested everyone in their tracks.

There is no logic to the justification given by Donald Trump for this baseless and arbitrary aggression.

Or rather, it does, but it’s American logic, incomprehensible to the rest of the world. The strikes were supposedly launched to “protect the American people” and “eliminate immediate threats from Iran to the USA.” So does Iran threaten the States simply by existing? If the Department of War thinks so, then it has already stepped beyond the bounds of reason.

Just a week ago, the world was discussing US-Iranian negotiations. But the US always remains true to itself, no matter the negotiations it conducts or what calls for peace it voices. Credit must be given to Iran; it did not make concessions, defended its interests, and fought like a lion in the diplomatic arena. Let us hope it will show the aggressors the same strong spirit in battle.

If you want peace, prepare for war
