The internal "moral high ground" was already lost the moment Iran chose to surround Israel with a network of terror proxies — from Hezbollah in the north, to militias in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, and of course Hamas in Gaza.
Framing Israel or the U.S. as the only destabilizing actors ignores the reality: Iran has systematically worked for years to ignite regional conflict. The idea that restraint is expected only from democracies while authoritarian regimes operate with impunity is what truly undermines any global moral authority.
And let’s be clear — the shift to a multipolar world doesn’t mean a more just or moral world. It may simply mean that more bad actors now feel empowered.
