GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
Les divergences reflètent les fractures géopolitiques contemporaines : l'axe atlantiste (USA-Australie-Israël) privilégie la narrative sécuritaire anti-iranienne, tandis que l'Europe développe une approche diplomatique autonome face à l'unilatéralisme américain. L'Asie maintient une neutralité économique pragmatique, évitant l'alignement idéologique. Le bloc anti-impérialiste (Russie-Iran-Afrique du Sud) exploite le conflit pour délégitimer l'ordre occidental. Ces divisions révèlent l'érosion du consensus transatlantique et l'émergence d'un monde multipolaire où les intérêts nationaux priment sur les solidarités idéologiques traditionnelles.
