Prof. John Mearsheimer: Washington’s 'Tech War' Backfires — A Deadly Trap for Iran’s People #johnmearsheimer #news #iran #washington

The belief held by Western liberal hawks that technology can defeat brute force is a dangerous naivety; providing VPNs and Starlink terminals will not cause the regime in Tehran to collapse.

Tehran views US-funded digital connectivity not as "freedom of speech," but as an existential threat and regime change in disguise, prompting a ruthless response to ensure state survival.

Washington is engaging in "symbolic politics" to satisfy domestic voters, lacking any real strategy or understanding of the balance of power to guarantee the outcomes they promise.

The Iranian government creates an asymmetry of violence by using military-grade technology to jam signals and raid users, proving that technology offers no physical protection against a state's monopoly on force.

Material power always defeats abstract ideas; handing civilians a modem and hoping they can stop a tank is an act of moral irresponsibility and cruelty.

Private companies like Starlink cannot sustain a war against a sovereign state, as the state always possesses the "home-field advantage" and the capacity to escalate.

From an Offensive Realism perspective, cutting funding for Middle East regime-change efforts is a necessary adjustment to preserve resources for deterring the true peer competitor, China.

Increased US interference only compels Iran to further militarize its cyberspace and cements its alignment with anti-American great power rivals like Russia and China.

Western hubris will crash against the steel wall of regime survival, resulting in a tragedy where ordinary Iranians are left defenseless against a crackdown while Tehran solidifies its position in an anti-American bloc.
