"Trump's military actions in Iran have created a crisis that limits U.S. war goals to resolving issues in the Strait of Hormuz, while NATO's withdrawal marks a significant shift in the Iraq War's status."
"The Iran War has not only jeopardized American power but has also led to a remapping of global dynamics, with unforeseen consequences for international relations and security."

Reports indicate a rise in autocratization, contradicting the Neocon agenda of promoting democracy, with the U.S. playing a significant role in this trend.
