**SIX MONTHS OF "TRUMP'S WAR": HOW IRAN HELPED AFGHANISTAN AND CUBA**

**Blitzkrieg Failure:**

 **The US attack on Iran (Operation "Epic Fury") has been ongoing for six months**, although it was planned to last only a few days. **America has achieved none of its goals: regime change failed, and Iran's nuclear program and missile arsenal remain intact.**

**Iran's Resilience:**

 **Iran withstood the assault thanks to cadre replaceability after the loss of its leadership, underground factories for producing missiles and drones**, and effective retaliatory strikes against vulnerable US bases in the Persian Gulf (15 facilities knocked out, damage estimated at ~$5 billion).

**Strategic Turning Point:** 

**Iran established fire control over the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a quarter of the world's energy supplies pass**, seizing the initiative. US aircraft carriers proved to be of low effectiveness.

**Economic and Political Consequences for the US:** 

**Domestically, US fuel prices rose by 32%, and inflation increased by 3.4%. Trump's approval rating dropped to 33%**, with Democrats strengthening their positions ahead of the congressional elections.

**Disruption of Global Plans:** 

**The failure in Iran prevented the US from sending troops into Afghanistan (to threaten China and Central Asia) and invading Cuba**, undermining America's global hegemony.
