The Multipolar Moment
Kashmir Observer
|JUNE 18, 2025 ISSUE
Israel fired the first shot. Iran answered. But the true casualty may be the myth of Western monopoly on power.
The global situation has shifted rapidly in the last few days following Israel’s unprovoked attacks against Iran. While Israel has the backing of the world’s largest military and economic power, it has still not achieved its goals.
In June 2025, the world witnessed the outbreak of a full-scale war between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Israel. This conflict, extending far beyond the military sphere, is reshaping political, media, and geopolitical landscapes. At the onset of hostilities, Israel initiated a surprise operation targeting several high-ranking Iranian military commanders and scientists. Tel Aviv saw this act as a significant achievement, anticipating it would plunge Iran into psychological disarray and delay its response.
