Iran’s Pivotal Role in the Emerging New World Order

Mostafa Ghahremani – June 14, 2025

The disgraceful aggression of the Israeli regime against our homeland, Iran, must be understood and assessed within the framework of an organized attempt to establish and impose a new order in West Asia — and, more broadly, in the global system.

The primary goal of this regime in launching such aggression is to preserve and solidify its regional hegemony. Iran, as the only truly independent and natural state in this region, remains the sole strategic obstacle to the expansionist ambitions of Israel and its Western allies.

To achieve this objective, projects such as creating instability, promoting chaos, and ultimately attempting to alter Iran’s governing structure are being pursued, step by step, to pave the way for the country’s fragmentation.

This war will have a decisive impact not only on the regional dynamics of West Asia but also on the broader global order that is currently taking shape.

The United States and NATO, by giving a green light to Israel, have committed a major strategic mistake. They believe that the outcome of this war could play a pivotal role in shifting the balance of power between the Eastern and Western blocs in West Asia.

The Western rulers  still see Iran — at best — merely as a “bridge to victory” in its bid to dominate the Eurasian heartland and contain the rise of a new power in the East.

They fail to realize that today’s Iran is the product of the crucible of the past 45 years — not the shackled Iran of World War II, whose ruler (Reza Shah Pahlavi) could be exiled to Mauritius (by the British, 1941) with a single letter.

This Iran neither wants to be nor can be merely a corridor for the geopolitical ambitions of global powers.
