Recently, a drone attack on a U.S. military base sparked global attention. In this attack, three American soldiers were unfortunately killed and more than 40 were injured. The United States blamed Iranian-backed extremist fighters for the attack, but Iran denied it. Despite this, the United States has not taken any further action, probably because Biden **realizes that getting involved in a new conflict will accelerate**. So why doesn't the United States seek war with Iran? This is because the United States has realized that its hegemony is weakening and its deterrence capability is weakening. Under the sensitive and fragile situation in the Middle East, Biden wants to ease relations with Iran and has taken a series of actions, such as completing prisoner exchanges and acquiescing to the unfreezing of Iranian assets.
These moves show that the United States does not want to further escalate the conflict with Iran. However, the occurrence of this attack still raises people's thoughts. Does the weakening of US hegemony and deterrence mean that the international order is changing? If the United States cannot effectively deter its adversaries, then what other country can maintain world peace and stability? In fact, the hegemony of the United States is being challenged on many fronts. On the one hand, China's rise has made it a major competitor to the United States. China's growing economic and military power is putting enormous pressure on the United States. On the other hand, the situation in the Middle East is also changing. Regional countries such as Iran have growing influence on the United States, which makes American interests in the region more challenging.
In addition, the role of some international organizations is weakening. For example, the role of the United Nations in the settlement of international disputes and the maintenance of international order is increasingly limited. This makes it more difficult for the international community to cooperate and coordinate. How should the international community respond to this situation? How to maintain peace and stability? This is an important issue before us. The international community should strengthen cooperation, promote multilateralism, resolve disputes through dialogue and negotiation and avoid conflicts. At the same time, all countries should strengthen their own strength and enhance their international competitiveness to ensure that their own interests are properly safeguarded. In short, the hegemony of the United States is weakening, and its deterrence capability is also weakening, which brings new challenges to the international community. We should work together to maintain international peace and stability through enhanced cooperation and coordination.
Only in this way can we jointly address global challenges and achieve prosperity and development together.
