Prof. Tarik Cyril Amar (Tarik Cyril Amar) makes a point in this segment that Western media still refuses to admit: Iran can “win” this war without invading anyone.
Trump is not only targeted by criticism but also by open mockery. This signals that the U.S. president is losing credibility, losing the ability to intimidate, and losing the “fear factor” that Washington usually relies on.
Then Tarik goes straight at The Economist narrative that “Iran can’t win.” He says that’s simply wrong because winning doesn’t mean marching into Washington; it means making the attack unaffordable, unsustainable, and politically toxic for the attacker.
Tarik presents one of the clearest explanations of how deterrence works in real geopolitics and why the empire’s old intimidation playbook is breaking down.
