By resisting the illegal attack on their country by Israel and the United States, the Iranians have brought the “paper tiger” to its knees. In just a few days, they demonstrated that the Pentagon’s sophisticated and expensive weapons were ill suited to their highly economical approach to warfare. They disrupted the global oil market, which underpins the US dollar. Finally, they provided a new model that all opponents of Anglo-Saxon dominance are now considering. It has already led China to completely revise its defense plans in the event of a US attack on Taiwan.
