John Helmer: Whose Ship Is Sinking? The Hidden War Between US–NATO and Russia–China–Iran

US-Iran conflict analysis: global stakes, alliance shifts & strategic uncertainties. Recent US-Russia dialogue may link Ukraine concessions to reduced Moscow support for Tehran. Strait of Hormuz disruptions pressure China, India, and Gulf economies, fueling internal debates in major powers over prioritizing Washington relations vs. Iran solidarity. Questions whether rhetorical backing from Russia/China translates to tangible military aid—or if separate negotiations fracture anti-hegemonic unity. Examines potential outcomes: Iran's resilience, economic strain on Arab monarchies, Israeli security challenges, and oil market volatility. Highlights uncertainty around war duration, escalation risks, and whether multipolar powers coordinate or compete amid shifting global power dynamics. A sober look at factional politics, realpolitik calculations, and the gap between diplomatic words and battlefield actions in an increasingly fragmented international order.
