Of course, I am following with increased attention the dynamics of the war in Iran, an event that continues to remain in the "top news" of the Chancelleries and Security Institutions. In the absence of a dedicated response to the interested media, below you will find a summary of the geopolitical weight that the exemplary punishment of the Iranian regime carries not only for peace in the Middle East and US interests, but also for confidence in the New/Trump Order of Global Security.
First of all, despite the terror in TV studios by all-knowing analysts, crazy conspiracists and brainwashed strategists, unfortunately also self-demoted generals, including in Tirana and Pristina, who make delinquent and ridiculous comments at the same time: "To clean Enver's bunkers, or fill the bins with food reserves for the day of judgment", I believe that there is zero reason to panic, since Iran has zero motive, chances and capacities to attack the territory of the Republic of Albania with missiles! While also as a technical contributor to the negotiations for the Air Policing agreement, I confirm that in the absence of capacities to exercise "on their own", Italy and Greece (on behalf of NATO, i.e. not as a bilateral relationship) exercise 24/7 the responsibility of the air defense of the Republic of Albania. More clearly stated, or in the terms of Article-5 (the foundation of the Alliance's establishment and existence), if Manza, Tirana, Konispoli, Vermoshi are attacked with missiles, not only will they be annihilated in the air, but the Ayatollah's followers, or "Iran's new devils", will receive a deadly response from US/NATO air power. NATO's destruction of 2 missiles aimed at Turkey (even though the cowardly Tehran did not take responsibility for them), confirms this.
Secondly, the deadly attack by the US military on the bloodthirsty ruler (37 years) and the Ayatollah's revolutionary (actually terrorist) guard: "I find it as a successful test of the New Global Security Order, as well as the destructive power of the US military." Moreover, I also find this demonstration of force as an exemplary punishment for similar dictators, that is, those distracted by the power of the superpower (Putin, Kim Jong-un), who, like terrorist gangs, threaten that, by using nuclear weapons: "they will wreak havoc not only on Israel and the US, but on humanity, the global order and the values of civilization!"
To argue for the "unrivaled and destructive power of the US", it is enough to mention two of the most successful attacks in modern human history: (a) against Iran's nuclear bases in June 2025, with: "6 B-2 aircraft costing 2 billion dollars each, 37 hours of flight; 12 bombs with 14 tons of explosives each and 60 m penetration depth, dozens of missiles and 125 F35 aircraft", as well as (b) the spectacular arrest of Maduro, when "over 150 aircraft and drones simultaneously attacked 20 military bases, lasted less than 4.45' and with zero losses, putting Venezuela's air defense system out of action".
No other country in the world (including China and Russia) possesses and will not have in the next 100 years, the military power to carry out operations similar to these 2 examples! Therefore, these attacks, as well as the destruction of the missiles that violated Turkish airspace, also serve as a message of strength to the new devils of Iran, etc., that: "If they dare to attack the integrity of any of the 32 NATO countries, they would be punished in an exemplary manner by the deadly power of the USA, as well as the Alliance!" Having said the above, Israel, NATO/EU countries, but also Iranians and all of humanity should be grateful to the military power of the USA and the strong leadership of President Donald Trump!
Thirdly, the shameful act of the official media, as well as the militants of the Iranian regime after the assassination of the Supreme Leader, reminds us of the scenes of screams and miserable oaths (unfortunately also with weapons and military uniforms) of Enver's associations after February 20, 1991, to restore the dictator's bust, as well as the similar disfigurement of the North Koreans for the death of Kim Jong-un's father, in December 2011?!
Worse, the reaction of the remnants of the regime, i.e. the heirs of the Ayatollah; the members of the interim council (the puppet president, the head of the murderous judiciary and a court lawyer), as well as the generals and the regime's suicide bomber guard, attacking: "US embassies and bases in Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, the West Bank, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, Yemen; the UK base in Cyprus, Azerbaijan, etc.", I find as the desperate approaches of a terrorist gang, or of a snake that has had its head cut off. And since we are on the subject of Iran's powerlessness to confront not only the USA/NATO, but also the countries of the region, it suffices to mention the reaction of the United Arab Emirates, where: "out of 1,305 drones, 1,229 were shot down, while out of 221 missiles, 205 were destroyed in the air and 14 ended up at sea."
However, beyond the Stockholm Syndrome, I hope that the assassination of the bloody ruler (37 years) will serve (not to hand power to the Shah's opposition in exile), but to ignite the people's hope for freedom, to awaken the responsibilities of Tehran's noble elite as well as the mission of Iran's new generation: "to liberate and transform the country into a modern state, which not only overcomes the current crisis and guarantees security and peaceful coexistence among over 90 million compatriots/Iranians, but also contributes as a significant actor to the peace and stability of the region and beyond"!
Fourth, regarding the cynical claims of Moscow, Beijing, but also "under the guise" of some Western leader, to obtain permission from the UN/SC, we recall the denigrating response that Trump gave to the KGB/Putin sucker in the case of Iran and Venezuela: "Stop the bloodshed in Ukraine as soon as possible", while reconfirming that: they will not take permission from anyone (much less the UN/SC in agony) to use military force against any country that poses a threat to the livelihood of the American people as well as the integrity and interests of the US". Furthermore, the assassination of the Ayatollah: "It is not an invasion, a violation of international law, nor a dangerous precedent, since the US has never aimed to invade Iran". In fact: "The US is at war only with the Ayatollah regime, to prevent it from producing destructive weapons that threaten to annihilate Israel and the presence and interests of the US, but also "peace not only in the region"! Thus, I find no comparison with Russia's neo-Nazi aggression, +4 years ago, for the invasion of Ukraine, to the interests and military power of the Euro-Atlantic Alliance.
On the other hand, as was also widely acknowledged at the Munich Conference: “While the global order built after World War II no longer exists, it remains a critical necessity to overcome the inglorious end of the UN in 1945, the bureaucratic agony of the EU, facade democracies and states brought to their knees by corruption.” Thus, the attack to execute the ruler of Iran; the operation to arrest Maduro (which had turned Venezuela into a paradise for narco-terrorism and Russian-Chinese interests), as well as the establishment of the Peace Board, sealed the end of the old order, and confirmed the establishment of the “New Security Order, or peace imposed by force”, which deserves to be engraved with the name of President Donald John Trump.
In addition, beyond the end of the terrorist guard resistance in Iran and Putin's barbaric war in Ukraine, I believe even more strongly that thanks only to the unrivaled (super) military power of the United States, as well as the strong leadership of Trump: "The hope of peace, the new global order and the values of civilization will triumph over the remnants of the Ayatollahs, the neo-Stalinists and neo-Milosevics, bureaucratic democracy and failed states, as well as superstates and narco-terrorist organizations or gangs." Meanwhile, repeating the well-deserved applause for: "The participation of the Republic of Albania/Kosovo in the Trump Peace Board; the agreement between Croatia, Kosovo and the Republic of Albania; the construction of the Kuçova Air Base, the increase in the defense budget and the modernization of military power; the Porto Palermo project (+US/NATO naval bond), intertwined with Corridor-8; contributions in the interest of collective security and in support of Ukraine; the leading role in joint projects, as well as the Euro-Atlantic integration process of the 6 Western Balkan countries", I appreciate them as evidence of the strengthening of strategic cooperation/trust, fortunately intertwined with the geopolitical interests between the Republic of Albania and the US in the region and the Mediterranean.
