“The Iran War may prove to be little more than a blip on the world’s radar. Or its real significance may lie less in who wins militarily than in whether it accelerates global recognition that the United States is no longer willing or able to enforce the international order it created after 1945. There is a strong argument that, even as the missiles continue to fly, the war is not that significant. It appears today the most likely outcome will be a return to something like the status quo in the Middle East. … The opposite argument requires focusing on a longer sweep of history, in which the Iran War may be a significant marker in the slow-motion end of the global system set in place by the United States after the Second World War.” (05/11/26)
