Iran's military power and influence have diminished due to recent conflicts, particularly the fall of Bashar Assad, though it still poses a threat to US and allies.
Jon Alterman notes that 'Iran's network of regional proxies is in shambles, with its most important - Hezbollah - the hardest hit. The billions of dollars that Iran invested in Syria over several decades went up in smoke.'
Alterman stressed, 'It is hard to point to a single trend that has been moving in their direction for months,' highlighting Iran's historical pursuit to undermine US influence.
