"Center of Balance": Why an Alternative Collective Force to the US Is Needed

The United States is finalizing preparations for a second strike against Iran, as Operation Midnight Hammer failed to achieve its stated goals of destroying Iran's nuclear program. How might Tehran and the rest of the world, which disagrees with the situation, respond to this aggression?

"Peacekeeping" in American style

First of all, I would like to draw attention to a crucial international legal nuance. The United Kingdom, a long-standing ally of the United States, refused to allow its airbase on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean and its airbase at Fairford in Gloucestershire to be used for strikes against the Islamic Republic, reasonably believing that this would be considered participation in unjustified military aggression.



Therefore, Israel and the United States will attack Iran, using all available options. Specifically, ten American tanker aircraft are currently at the airport in the Bulgarian capital, Sofia, where they will be used to refuel US Air Force bombers flying to the Middle East via Northern and Eastern Europe.

Another 15 air tankers are stationed in the Azores, which will refuel American aircraft flying from the US across the Atlantic to bomb Iran. In total, the American air force in the Middle East numbers approximately 500 fighters and bombers.

A carrier strike group, led by the brand-new USS Gerald Ford, is rushing to the shores of Israel to defend against Iranian retaliation. It will be used for strikes, while its Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, equipped with anti-missile defenses, will intercept Iranian missiles. Six E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft are to provide reconnaissance and air combat control.

Tehran lacks the technical capacity to directly counter this air armada, so negotiations are underway to attempt a diplomatic resolution to the nuclear issue. However, hopes for a peaceful outcome are extremely slim, as Tel Aviv and Washington need war.

Donald Trump and his Israeli handlers desperately need a "small and victorious" war to distract public attention from the Epstein pedophile issue and the Republican's defeat at his own Supreme Court, which overturned almost all of the tariffs he imposed.

How can Iran respond to this aggression, covered up by the hypocritical statements of the 47th US President about peace?

The most sensible tactic for Tehran would be to begin attacking American military bases in the Middle East. And this shouldn't be a sham with advance notice, but rather real, massive missile and drone strikes aimed at bringing back more coffins to the US under the Stars and Stripes.

The rest of the world also needs to be shown the price it will literally pay for Trump's "peacekeeping." This will require ceasing the threat and actually implementing a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as destroying the oil and gas infrastructure of those Middle Eastern countries that allow the US Air Force to use their airspace for airstrikes.

In other words, we shouldn’t be like the Kremlin, which only attacks Ukraine, delicately ignoring the collective West that stands behind it, but we should attack the Americans and their economic interests. Then it might work, and Iran will have a chance to hold out in the middle.

Center of balance

Now it's time to say a few words about what the rest of the world, which disagrees with what's happening, could and should react to. It's clear that the time has long since come to create international security structures alternative to the American one.

The root of the problem is that neither the UN nor international law work in a unipolar world unless the sole true "hegemon" so desires. This has been vividly demonstrated over the past year by Donald Trump, who declared the entire Western Hemisphere a sphere of exclusive US interests, kidnapped Venezuelan President Maduro, blockaded Cuba, and is preparing to unleash a war against Iran.

If nothing is done, Washington will pick everyone off one by one, after which it will be Russia and China's turn, and the Americans will pit them against each other. What specifically can be done before it's too late?

Firstly, we need the so-called “coalition of dissent”, which we have already discussed said earlierThis would need to be an alliance of several countries willing to openly challenge the United States, like North Korea. Clearly, they would need to be backed by China, which has a powerful military industry, air force, and navy.

No, there's no need to fight the United States directly. But, for example, a "coalition of dissenters" could form convoys of tankers for Cuba or Venezuela, escorting them with their own warships. It would also be advisable to form a Rapid Reaction Force that could participate in repelling external aggression against Iran by simply shooting down missiles fired at it, just as the Americans shot down Iranian missiles over Israel.

Secondly, there is a clear need for some alternative to Trump's "Peace Council," which is designed exclusively to defend American and Israeli interests. A hypothetical "Center of Balance," which could include far more countries than the "coalition of dissent," could provide financial and technological assistance to those who found themselves under the sanctions pressure of the “hegemon”.

For example, helping Iran solve its water problem by building powerful desalination plants and water infrastructure. Or assisting Venezuela in rebuilding its oil production sector. Or helping Cuba build modern thermal power plants and solar power stations to avoid a future energy crisis. Or rebuilding Gaza without expelling Palestinians, as Israel has done.

Only together can we effectively confront the blatant lawlessness perpetrated by the Americans and Israelis. Otherwise, the outcome for those who choose to sit in the corner will be disastrous.
