In the last few weeks Iran has hardened its military hierarchy, dominated war escalation, pushed US base and blockade fleet retreats, and announced officially that there are NO NEGOTIATIONS and will be NO NEGOTIATIONS with the Trump regime. Iran will wait for Trump's successor after 3 times Trump used negotiations to target Iranian leadership for assassinations.

That means at least 2.5 years more war in the Persian Gulf, possibly 6.5 years if Trump isn't joking about a third term as president.

So what is Iran doing for this interim period? 
- Continued strikes on neighbouring US bases to drive US military back towards Levant;
- Continued strikes on radars/AD detection/ground stations and MQ-9 surveillance drones;
- Negotiations with regional leaders to establish a new Iranian hegemony in the Persian Gulf;
- Cementing Iran's control of Hormuz transit by agreement with Qatar;
- Protection of Hezbollah from Syrian militia intervention in Lebanon as a proxy for US and Israel;
- Reiterating the demand, written into the abandoned MOU, that Israel must ceasefire and withdraw from occupations in Gaza and Lebanon as a pre-condition of further talks.

Iran is emerging as a hegemonic power actively reshaping the Gulf region and a wider sphere of influence to permanently secure the region from US and Israeli aggressions or exploitations. 

The world is watching, learning.

Make no mistake, it is broadly understood throughout the world that the United States has suffered a shocking military and strategic defeat in its war against Iran.

And I'll bet Russia and China are as surprised as anyone.

Iran has earned its #4 composite power ranking. x.com/imetatronink/s…
