The United States is floundering in the region, and nothing illustrates this more clearly than its opening of all these fronts simultaneously in Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen and Iran, under different pretexts and with multiple justifications.

Those who believe we are witnessing poor U.S. management of the region fail to recognize that the situation may go beyond mismanagement and perhaps warrants another description: a deliberate attempt to set the entire region ablaze and erase it demographically and humanely, turning it into a zone reserved for the resources Washington seeks, without the human element that is, the people of the region.
Nothing illustrates this more clearly than what Washington has done in Venezuela, because it wants that country's oil, and the U.S.
president's declaration that the Strait of Hormuz is an American zone.
This is a war driven by several objectives.
The first is the seizure of the region's resources. The second is the destruction of its social and cultural fabric. The third is control over air, land and sea routes, including strategic straits. The fourth is erasing the region's identity as an Arab and Muslim region in favor of a newly emerging identity that is intended to be imposed here.
The fifth is cutting off any Chinese or Russian foreign influence. The sixth is preparing for the second phase of the war, which has not yet begun, as we are still in its first phase.
After exploiting the Sunni-Shia conflict to facilitate the war against Iran and its allies in various countries, amid Arab silence, the second phase will begin: the phase of dismantling the Sunni states that are considered targets Egypt, Pakistan, Turkey and others. All of them will eventually face their turn.
This means that in the first phase, Washington is exploiting Sunni-Shia sensitivities to reduce sympathy for Iran and its allies. But in the second phase, the plan will change, because those who fail to recognize the cost of the war on the entire region now will discover that the reshaping process will extend to the rest of the Sunni states.
For the past three years, Washington has maintained a presence in the region unlike anything seen in previous years. Under the current president, U.S. intervention has intensified without bringing the wars and conflicts to an end.
Had Washington wanted to resolve these wars and conflicts, it could have done so much more quickly.
Instead, it continues to keep the mill turning, consuming as much as possible of the region's future, economies and security. In other words, we are witnessing a process of destruction.
We will see more negative developments in the coming period, because the military war, accompanied by an economic war against Iran, is also having a severe impact on all of Washington's allies in the region.
We are even left asking who will compensate the people of the region for the cost of a war that there appears to be no intention of ending, and why the entire region and its peoples should be required to pay such a heavy price for the American war.
The conclusion is that we are still at the beginning. We may not be exaggerating if we say that the war has not even truly begun yet, and that we are still in its first phase.
The worst prospect before us is having to endure the second phase, which will be even more difficult.
