The Iran conundrum and the decline of the West

The article analyzes the perceived decline of U.S. dominance in global affairs, particularly in the context of a speculative U.S.-Iran deal in 2026. It discusses the implications of this deal for West Asian power dynamics, U.S.-Israel relations, the rise of hardliners in Iran, and the potential for renewed regional conflicts and the re-emergence of radical groups, drawing parallels with historical events like the Treaty of Versailles.
