New e-Course Released: Let Sunzi Bring Clarity to the 2026 US-Iran War

From the first strike on February 28, 2026, to today, the world has been flooded with a chaotic mix of conflicting headlines, dramatic footage, unverified claims, and endless speculation about the US-Iran conflict.

One day we are told of decisive victories or the imminent landing of troops on Iranian islands; the next, we face stories of strategic setbacks, skyrocketing oil prices, and shifting global alliances. It is easy to feel completely overwhelmed and disoriented by this constant barrage of real-time bombing reports and partisan commentary. 

When the modern media landscape creates nothing but fog, ancient wisdom offers the clearest lens.

That is exactly why I wrote my latest e-course: Sunzi and the 2026 US-Iran War: Ancient Strategy for Modern Conflict.

Using the timeless principles from The Art of War, this three-part e-course cuts through the noise to dissect what is actually happening on the ground, and why. 

Instead of getting swept up in daily media panics, we will step back and examine the conflict through proven strategic frameworks. We will analyse the Five Constants that determine victory, the hidden dangers of a protracted war, and the critical importance of true readiness. Sunzi teaches us not to chase every fleeting rumour, but to focus on the fundamental factors that decide outcomes long before the first shot is even fired. His teachings are an anchor, helping us stay clear-headed when the rest of the world is reacting emotionally or politically.

Of course, Sunzi’s wisdom goes far beyond the battlefield.

His insights are incredibly practical for your everyday life and career. Whether you are navigating a difficult professional pivot, managing a high-stakes business project, securing your finances, or handling challenging relationships, these frameworks help you evaluate situations objectively and make better decisions. You will learn how to identify and avoid the draining, unwinnable “protracted wars” in your own life, and how to build an unassailable state of readiness for an uncertain future.

This course is part of my effort to share Classical Chinese teachings. In a fractured world, these profound ancient texts are the real treasures we need. Every e-course I write uses contemporary examples to give clear, accessible explanations with practical, real-world applications. You will gain a genuine, deep understanding of these philosophies without needing years of prior study.

To make this wisdom accessible to everyone, this course is also available for HKD 29.9, or free via barter. (https://www.mslmaster.com/index.php?view=article&id=249:msl-master-e-courses&catid=11 )

If you are tired of information overload and want a deeper, more useful perspective on the current events unfolding in the Middle East—and a clearer blueprint for your own life—I warmly invite you to join me, read this e-course, and learn something from Sunzi.
