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.

    The young women sitting in the Olympic ice hockey stadium of Kwandong, South Korea, were dressed like a group of gorgeous stewardesses on an outing after graduating from flight school, or as if they were celebrating the survival of an emergency landing. They applauded in a very methodical fashion, a well-studied rhythm that their eternal Supreme leader Kim Jong-Un certainly did not learn at his Swiss boarding school “Liebefeld Steinhoelzi” near Bern, Switzerland.

    The big question for Africans on safeguarding peace and security is whether the Pan-African organization, which aspires to lead the continent towards peace and prosperity and to which the continent’s predisposed human and material resource potential, is able to ensure the fulfillment of these ambitions through its own institutions? In other words, can the African Union manage African crises with independent African means? This fundamental question calls for other more intermediate ...

Since its beginning in 2011, this conflict has triggered global concern about the economic, security, and geostrategic impacts on the Sahel. Current threats are posed by the illicit transfer, destabilizing accumulation, and misuse of arms, as well as the flow of armed groups and mercenaries. Despite considerable international efforts, especially by African countries, the Sahel is still experiencing one of the ...
