Recent events in Iran show that the United States entered a more advanced phase of neocolonialism in 2026, Iranian political analyst Somayeh Pasandideh tells Sputnik. She said this phase has already seen:Control of vital arteries of the global economy Imposition of a broad naval blockade on Iran Pursuit of vessels in international waters Attempts to control the Strait of Hormuz as the world’s energy chokepoint Simultaneous use of military, economic, and diplomatic pressure to impose maximum demandsWhat people are witnessing today with regard to Iran is the US’ long-term strategy of creating and managing crises, according to Pasandideh.“American neocolonialism in the 21st century seeks to control the decision-making process in countries, rather than control their territory. Iran remains one of the most important battlefields in this struggle, and its actions will be decisive,” the analyst concludes.
