What happened on the first day of the US and Israel's war with Iran, according to Dugin, fundamentally changes the balance of power in the world and the principles of international politics. Trump has already stated that for him international law does not exist and that he considers only what he assesses to be moral.
First, the capture of Nicolas Maduro and the establishment of external control over Venezuela, now attacks on Iran aimed at destroying the country's military and political base and the religious leadership of the state, which voluntarily conducted negotiations with the United States. All this, according to Dugin, shows that we can no longer talk about principles, laws or any norms in international relations.
—The only valid rule at present is the law of force and speed. The one who hits decisively wins, the rest is just justifying propaganda. The current strategy is to destroy the enemy's command center and energy resources through a lightning-fast attack. Once resistance is overcome, legal or moral arguments can be fabricated and discussed post factum, without haste, says Aleksandr Dugin.
— Everything now depends on Iran's ability to survive without centralized leadership. If Tehran does not capitulate, the precedent set will turn against the West: the rest of the world will adopt the same aggressive attitude, ignoring the rules of the game and betting everything on brute force, regardless of official international status, he says.
He adds that this will give a free hand to many regional powers to do whatever they want. This situation could quickly lead to the use of nuclear weapons – perhaps in a conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan, perhaps in others. In short, if Iran continues its resistance under new leadership, it could have very serious consequences for the West – affecting Trump, the United States and NATO countries.

And if the Venezuelan scenario repeats itself – the new leadership announces surrender or the army is simply unable to continue fighting – the war will be short. Dugin says that if this happens, a similar scenario should be expected in the near future. Putin's ideologist fears that Trump and the West, seeing that this scheme works, will proceed to the elimination of the main political and military-political leadership of Russia. This, in his opinion, will be their next move.
The target of a possible nuclear attack
— It is obvious that indecision is costing us a lot. Following the same pattern, we could become the target of an attack—perhaps even a nuclear one—while we negotiate with Kushner and Witkoff. We are at a critical moment: we have passively watched the collapse of Venezuela and Iran while China has chosen neutrality. But if we fall, China will become the next victim. The end result? Establishing Epstein's kingdom on a global scale, controlling all of humanity, claims Putin's ideologist.
Then he moves on. — I want to say clearly: what we see today is no longer the old liberal West. Liberalism was removed from the agenda. Discussions about democracy have become history; in their place came the worship of Baal and the golden calf, the worship of absolute power exercised by the United States and Israel. We are dealing with a civilization based on violence, Satanism and depravity, he says.
He calls on the Russian authorities to show sufficient will and determination and start acting according to the same principles according to which – in his opinion – everyone except the Russians already operates.
— But I fear that we will lack courage and remain prisoners of the same ineffective strategy. In this case, the missiles will hit Moscow right during the talks with Kushner and Witkoff, according to the model used in Iran. The strategy of the Baal civilization is primitive but effective: it repeats the same patterns, because each of the target leaders is under the illusion that the fate of Gaddafi, Hussein or Khamenei does not concern him. Thanks to this collective blindness, the forces of Baal are implementing their global plan step by step, he says.
Finally, he issues an appeal. — Urgent mobilization is the only alternative to inevitable catastrophe. If we continue to deceive ourselves, it means that we are victims of a deep inner betrayal. The massacre in Iran is a global tragedy: spiritual leaders of enormous value were liquidated. Imagine that in an instant, rockets would kill the Patriarch of Russia, the president of the country, the chief of the general staff and the entire cabinet of ministers, as well as hundreds of innocent children. Can we continue to feign indifference? If we remain silent now, we accept that Moscow will be the next target, he says.
