Foreign Policy: Iran Is a State Designed to Absorb Shocks—and Does Not Collapse Under Aggression
American magazine confirms the failure of Western bets on toppling the Iranian system despite sanctions and sustained pressure
NYN | Reports and Analyses
Foreign Policy magazine has affirmed that the Islamic Republic of Iran has demonstrated, over many years, an exceptional capacity to withstand economic pressure and internal unrest, noting that all Western—foremost American—bets on the collapse of the Iranian system have failed.
Ongoing U.S. Pressure Without Decisive Results
The magazine explained, citing a political analysis, that what Iran is facing falls within a policy of continuous pressure and aggression led by the United States, with direct support from the occupation entity, through crippling economic sanctions, financial blockade, as well as security threats and attempts to destabilize the internal situation. However, these tools have failed to create any real political fracture within the structure of the state.
A System Designed to Withstand Crises
The report noted that the Iranian system, since the establishment of the Islamic Republic, has been built on solid security and political foundations specifically designed to endure crises and confront attempts at external subjugation. This has enabled Tehran to absorb successive shocks and preserve internal cohesion despite ongoing targeting.
The Collapse of Illusions About Toppling Iran
Foreign Policy concluded that Iran’s resilience is not tied to temporary or circumstantial conditions, but rather to a long-term strategic determination to resist U.S. hegemony and the projects of the occupation entity in the region. It emphasized that the continuation of this dynamic once again shatters the illusions of Washington and its allies about breaking the will of the Islamic Republic or forcing its submission.
