Iran emerged ‘stronger’ from war – geopolitical analyst

US-Israeli armed forces litigate has failed to reposition the strategical equilibrise in the Middle East, leaving Iran in a stronger position than before the conflict, geopolitical analyst Brandon Weichert has said.
Speaking on RT’s Sanchez Effect on Tuesday, Weichert, a senior national security editor at 19FortyFive, described the conflict as a “non-deal deal for a non-war war,” arguing that Washington had failed to achieve any meaningful strategic gains.
“The 96-hour war has become a 120-plus-day war and nothing we’ve done has changed that,” he said.
His remarks come as Washington and Tehran continue to send mixed signals over diplomacy following a tentative agreement reached earlier this month. While US President Donald Trump has said negotiations are expected to continue, Iranian officials insist no high-level bilateral talks are planned. Technical discussions are continuing in Doha through Qatari mediators, according to US and Qatari officials.
Under the tentative deal, Israel was expected to gradually withdraw from southern Lebanon as the Lebanese authorities sought to disarm Hezbollah. Although Israel and Lebanon signed a US-brokered framework last week, Hezbollah has rejected it, while renewed exchanges of fire have complicated implementation of the broader US-Iran agreement.
