Britain split Persia into Iran and Iraq to enable hegemony over these lands. The nation state boundaries of the middle east and Africa were drawn up by the colonial powers in Europe over hundreds of years. When the centre of western power moved from Britain to the US after WW2 the US and Britain installed the shah as their puppet to enable continued extraction of Irans vast oil reserves by Britan and US oil companies. Today USA shows zero regard for international law as it seeks to perpetuate its global petrodollar based hegemony. China has won the trade war- all nations much now trade with China or lose significiant economic advantage but USA is seeking to perpetuate its wealth and privilege through brute force and unlawful military aggression against any nation that does not show subservience to the USA.
The wealth of nation is to a large extent determined by their power projection capability. "Free trade' 'democracy' are just words used to cover the brute force power projection of the USA and its disregard for the rights of all other people to determine their own destiny.
Trumps current invasion of Iran and Venezuela is a new era of colonialism where USA seeks to preserve its dominance via military force despite China economy beating the US on productive capacity and efficiency.
