Leçons stratégiques, économiques et sécuritaires de la guerre entre les États-Unis et l’Iran

July 10, 2026

À la suite des récents développements au Moyen-Orient, le Policy Center for the New South lance une série de trois webinaires consacrée aux conséquences stratégiques, géopolitiques, sécuritaires et économiques du conflit entre les États-Unis et l’Iran.

S’appuyant sur la publication Hormuz and the Invisible Fractures: The Price of a Distant War – Views from the New South, cette série analyse le détroit d’Ormuz à la fois comme un point de passage maritime stratégique essentiel et comme une ligne de fracture révélatrice des mutations de l’ordre mondial. Si le récent accord entre les États-Unis et l’Iran atténue les tensions immédiates, la crise se poursuit et continue d’évoluer, faisant de cette publication un éclairage particulièrement opportun sur un paysage géopolitique dynamique et encore en pleine recomposition.

À travers une approche pluridisciplinaire, ces webinaires examinent les répercussions du conflit sur les pays du Nouveau Sud, les routes commerciales mondiales, la sécurité énergétique et l’évolution de l’ordre international. Ils offrent également un espace de réflexion sur les enseignements stratégiques de long terme qui se dégagent de cette crise.

Cette session analyse les enseignements stratégiques de la confrontation entre les États-Unis et l’Iran, en mettant en lumière les nouvelles formes de dissuasion, de guerre hybride et de compétition régionale. Elle examine également les conséquences économiques et commerciales du conflit, notamment à travers le détroit d’Hormuz. Enfin, le débat porte sur les répercussions sécuritaires au Moyen-Orient, en Afrique et dans le Sahel, ainsi que sur les implications pour la stabilité régionale et internationale.

    How do you treat a brutal dictator who had lost power after 42 years, hiding in a drainpipe, after his convoy was attacked by fighter jets from the air? It was a bloody mess and not a pretty scene. The dictator had a few seconds to beg for his life, “what did I do to you», he gasped reported the London Guardian on October 22, 2011, and then his turbulent life came to an end, shot with a pistol. Triumphantly his assassin raised Gaddafi’s golden revolver -- a few minutes of global fam ...

Membership of the European Union, achieved in May 2004, promised a path towards social justice, wealth, and global acceptance of their abused homela ...

    Events in the Sahel, and Mali especially, are taking an uncertain and worrying turn. Mali witnessed two coups d’état in less than a year, while the West African Sahel went through its most violent year yet and there are no signs that the violence is slowing down. In the midst of this unprecedented instability, recent developments involving Mali’s transitional government and the international community, France in particular, provide no assurances that things are likely to improve any ...
