Shadowed Sovereignty: Iran's Influence and Iraq's Struggle for Autonomy
In a powerful critique, the author argues that the war in Iraq has been a strategic blunder for the United States, leaving the country vulnerable to Iran's expanding influence. With its large population, vast natural resources, and proximity to key regions, Iran holds a significant position in the Middle East. Moreover, Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons poses a major threat to global security. Surprisingly, the United States inadvertently handed Iraq to Iran on a silver platter by overthrowing Saddam Hussein, who served as a barrier against Iranian expansionism.
