I’m still not accepting defeat at this point. I did browse the news today (as I usually do). There truth is: We don’t know anything yet.
The main things that we know is that this administration is very eager to put some pressure on places like Cuba and Venezuela too. So I don’t want to be too cavalier about anything with an administration that has canceler a huge offshore wind turbine project with Total Energy from the Joe Biden Era to replace it with a similar sized fossil fuel extraction project with the same company.
The German President Frank Steinmeier has even called the Israel-US military intervention to Iran as “illegal” today.
My point of view on all of this is that perhaps the US elections in November 2025 did not produce the better result for the US itself and for the whole world in general.
But my current attitude on the particular issue of the IRI is simply to wait and see:
I sort of happen to know what’s going on the Kapikoy land border with Iran. Some are coming in just for holydays (it’s the new year in Iranian calendar), some are entering via the land-route and then taking a plane to go somewhere else, some are even going back to Iran, abandoning their projects in Turkey to be with their families. One think I know is that people in Iran are afraid. The government cutting the internet is adding to this climate and fear and insecurity.
But it’s simply too late to give up anything at this point. The whole situation will have to unfold in whatever way it’s supposed to unfold and we will all have to deal with these consequences (especially all those oil-producing Gulf countries + Saudi Arabia).
