American Admission: Iran War Will Bring Deep Regret to Washington
The New York Times, in a discussion between journalists from both the liberal and conservative camps, revealed that the United States will face “deep regret” over a war against Iran.
The discussion, moderated by Robert Siegel and featuring E.J. Dionne and Mona Sharin, acknowledged that the repercussions will not be limited to the military sphere, but will extend to America’s strategic structure and global leadership role.
The participants emphasized that Washington has lost its image as a “guarantor of international stability,” transforming into an impulsive power that blackmails its allies and acts outside the bounds of international law.
This admission from within the American media elite reflects what Tehran has repeatedly warned against: that a war on Iran will expose the fragility of American leadership and dismantle its alliances, particularly within NATO, where European dissent against American policies is growing.
The dialogue also indicated that American public sympathy for the Palestinian cause has, for the first time, surpassed sympathy for Israel. This demonstrates that the war has not weakened Iran as much as it has weakened the image of both Washington and Tel Aviv, and has shown that the resistance axis is imposing new realities in the region.
Observers believe that these statements represent an explicit acknowledgment that Iran has succeeded in shifting the balance of power, and that the continuation of the aggression will only lead to further division within American society and a decline in Washington’s international influence.
