Interview: Trump’s war on Iran reveals the limits of American imperial power

"This latest conflict is part of a decades-long project by the US to exert imperial control over the oil-rich region."

But it’s in danger of being a strategic loss signaling a deeper imperial decline. Trump has made the US much more vulnerable globally as a result.

Interview: Trump is still “looking for a Silver Bullet” instead of negotiating seriously

The US is denying Iranian reports that 2 missiles struck a US vessel.

"Both sides are making maximalist demands, so a diplomatic solution is unlikely."

As long as Trump listens to the forces that sold him this (backfired) blockade, "we’re not going to see a diplomatic breakthrough."
