From Sony Thang on the changes to the world inspired by Iranian resistance:

Here is what multipolarity actually means, because it gets thrown around as an abstraction until it becomes meaningless.
Multipolarity does not mean the United States is no longer powerful.
It does not mean the U.S. military is weak.
It does not mean America’s economic weight has evaporated.
It means the ability to translate that power into political outcomes in every corner of the world is no longer universal.
The ability to issue ultimatums and have them obeyed.
To threaten sanctions and watch governments capitulate.
To draw red lines and have adversaries stop at them.
That ability is no longer universal.
There are now actors who can say no and make the no stick.
Not many. Not on every issue. Not without cost.
But structurally, consequentially, in ways that change the calculus for every government watching.
Iran is demonstrating, in real time, that a regional power with the right combination of geographic leverage, military investment in specific capabilities, and political will to absorb punishment can deny the United States escalation dominance in its own neighborhood.
That is the definition of a pole.
Not a superpower. Not an equal.
A pole. An actor that cannot be submitted.
Every country that has been told for thirty years that the choice is between American alignment and American punishment is watching what Iran is doing and asking:
Is that possible for us too?
In some cases the answer is no.
In some cases it’s maybe.
In some cases the question alone, the fact that the question can now be seriously asked, is already changing behavior.
That is the earthquake.
The Strait of Hormuz is just the visible shaking.
