US Bombs Iranian Bridges, Roads – Disruptions to West Asian Energy Exports Resume

• The US has shifted strategy to long-range stand-off strikes on Iran’s coasts including maritime shipping, ports, rail, roads, and bridges to strangle Iran’s civilian economy;

• Iran’s retaliatory missiles strikes are successfully striking and destroying valuable US military infrastructure in the region, however, the US is capable of continuing the war with infrastructure beyond the region and reach of Iranian capabilities;

• The war on Iran is part of a wider war on multipolarism – including and especially against China in the Asia-Pacific region impacted by disrupted energy exports from West Asia;

• The US cannot compete with multipolarism so is attempted to destabilize and destroy it;

• Understanding the global nature of the US war on Iran and the US-based corporations driving it allows the global public to expose, oppose, and isolate the interests driving this destructive global-spanning US policy;
