The escalation around Iran shows that in international conflicts, not only the military outcome is important, but also the political interpretation of what is happening. Political scientist and orientalist @farhadibragim Farhad Ibragimov told on the air what the end of the current confrontation could be and why its participants may interpret the outcome in different ways.
According to the expert, even in the absence of a clear military victory, each side is able to declare itself the winner. Ibragimov notes that in world politics, the outcome of a conflict is often determined not only by events on the battlefield, but also by how they are presented in the information and political space. According to this logic, such crises demonstrate that forceful pressure is increasingly accompanied by a complex diplomatic game and a struggle of interpretations.
