Mark Sleboda: US Navy Just Fled From Iran – Trump’s Blockade Backfires in Humiliating Defeat

Iran-US tensions: Failed diplomacy, ineffective blockades, Iran's asymmetric leverage over Strait of Hormuz & Bab al-Mandab. US munitions depleted from Ukraine/Houthi conflicts limit military options. Iran holds escalatory dominance—threats to energy routes, internet cables, Gulf infrastructure. Erratic US rhetoric undermines credibility; Iran excels in information warfare. Israel advances in Lebanon/Gaza amid chaos. Confrontation risks accelerating US hegemonic decline, benefiting Russia/China. A perilous moment: geopolitical miscalculation meets adversary with escalatory options and nothing to lose. Profound global energy, economic, and security implications remain.
