According to Bloomberg’s analysis, the war waged against Iran during the Donald Trump era has left the US in a weaker position compared to its rivals.
elchi reports that the analysis states the Donald Trump administration’s military campaign against Iran and the subsequent fragile ceasefire process have led to comments in the international community about the US experiencing a strategic decline.
Diplomatic sources in Europe and the Middle East have agreed that this situation has emboldened rival powers like China and Russia and weakened American power.
Rivals are strengthening, alliances are weakening
It was noted that Beijing and Moscow were closely watching the US’s inability to tame the Iranian regime despite its military superiority.
Sources stated that Trump’s operation did not force Iran to surrender; on the contrary, it reinforced the image of the US losing its strength among its rivals.
On the other hand, Trump’s harsh criticism of NATO allies and threats to withdraw from the alliance have created long-term doubts regarding defense commitments within the Western bloc.
