GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
Au jour 36 de la guerre US-Iran, la perte de deux avions de combat et la chasse au pilote dans les montagnes iraniennes transforment un conflit aerien asymetrique en piege strategique. Trump a lance cette guerre sous ses pouvoirs executifs, la cadrant comme des 'frappes' plutot qu'une guerre formelle, mais la limite des 60 jours approche et le Congres n'a pas vote d'autorisation elargie. L'Iran, donne pour militairement neutralise, demontre qu'il conserve des capacites de defense aerienne et un levier strategique majeur via Ormuz. Le cout de la guerre -- estime a 2 milliards de dollars par jour -- alimente une demande de budget defense de 1 500 milliards qui sacrifie les programmes sociaux. La fracture entre medias US (cadrage heroique) et le reste du monde (cadrage d'embourbement) revele une guerre de perceptions aussi importante que la guerre physique.
