The Suicide of a Hegemon The Iran war will go down as one of America’s greatest strategic mistakes since World War II. What began as an attempt to demonstrate overwhelming US power has instead exposed its limits. President Trump chose war despite warnings that military force could not quickly collapse the Iranian regime. Six months later, Iran remains standing, the Strait of Hormuz is still a source of leverage, and its nuclear capabilities have not been eliminated. Meanwhile, America has depleted munitions, overstretched its military, and tied down forces needed elsewhere,especially in the Indo-Pacific. The diplomatic damage is even more serious. European and Asian allies refused to fully support the war, while Gulf states learned that Washington could launch a conflict against their wishes and leave them to deal with the devastating consequences. America's greatest strength has never been its military alone; it has been the willingness of other nations to trust and follow its leadership. That trust is now gone. China is the clearest beneficiary. It does not need to defeat America militarily. It only needs to watch Washington exhaust its resources, weaken its alliances, and undermine its credibility. The central lesson is blunt: military strength can destroy an enemy's infrastructure; it cannot manufacture political obedience or rebuild lost trust. The Iran war was meant to showcase American dominance. Instead, it exposed how recklessly that power can be squandered. America didn’t lose its superpower status overnight,it squandered it. The era of unquestioned US dominance is over.....

The Iran war will go down as one of America’s greatest strategic mistakes since World War II.
What began as an attempt to demonstrate overwhelming US power has instead exposed its limits.

President Trump chose war despite warnings that military force could not quickly collapse the Iranian regime.
Six months later, Iran remains standing, the Strait of Hormuz is still a source of leverage, and its nuclear capabilities have not been eliminated.
Meanwhile, America has depleted munitions, overstretched its military, and tied down forces needed elsewhere,especially in the Indo-Pacific.

The diplomatic damage is even more serious.
European and Asian allies refused to fully support the war, while Gulf states learned that Washington could launch a conflict against their wishes and leave them to deal with the devastating consequences.

America didn’t lose its superpower status overnight,it squandered it.

Intra-African trade might be low because we basically produce the same primary commodities and raw materials for countries outside the continent. Volume of Trade is not likely to increase when we produce the same commodities and raw materials without value addition.
