US influence in Middle East declines following war with Iran
Foreign policy analysts suggest the United States has lost its dominant role in the Middle East following the US-Israeli war against Iran. Experts argue that the regional order established in 1991 has collapsed.
Marc Lynch notes that the failure to overthrow the regime in Tehran has invalidated decades of sanctions and military pressure. Furthermore, the inability of the US to protect Gulf allies or secure the Strait of Hormuz has undermined the security pacts that justified the American military presence in the region.
Additionally, Robert Kagan suggests that the shift in power will result in Iran becoming the dominant force in the Middle East, displacing both the United States and Israel.
