The war on Iran is, first and foremost, a war on BRICS. A couple of months ago, Iran and Russia established an independent, sanctions-proof financial system that operates outside the dollarised global economy, for the first time since WW2. This represents a direct challenge to the United States' global financial primacy; so the current U.S. strategy is aimed at arresting the emergence of a bloc that threatens the unipolar order & the coercive mechanisms (sanctions, trade restrictions, financial exclusion) that underpin it. 🧵(1/4) This is a war to save the dollar hegemony. The prevailing discourse surrounding the duration of Israel’s ongoing campaign against Iran is mischaracterised by a superficial focus on Israeli decision-making. In reality, the longevity of this campaign is shaped far more profoundly by the United States’ broader strategic objective: to weaken the emerging BRICS, within which Iran occupies a central geopolitical and logistical role in the Middle East. Conversely, Israel functions as the anchor of the IMEC, a parallel trade route to counter BRICS-aligned connectivity. (2/4)
