@ChrisMayLA6 the effect on energy supply alone will completely redraw the politics of the Middle East drastically, as well as the rest of the world and the global south in particular. Now a “developing country” won’t need to rely on oil and the petrodollar to build infrastructure. IMO this war was the bell tolling for the end of a USA driven agenda on the world stage.

How do we know the Iranians now think they have the upper hand in the conflict with the US?
as has been widely reported earlier today, Iran is restoring internet connectivity to the country.... they no doubt now need Iranians to know how they have resisted & neutered the Tangerine Tyrant (even as he continues to bluster, and launch the occasional missile into Iran).
The signs are mounting that the conflict *has* been a game changer just no in the way Trump thought...
