Iran experts have indicated that the country’s theocracy has sustained significant setbacks in its power dynamics and regional ambitions, particularly in light of Israel’s recent military actions against its affiliated proxy groups throughout the Middle East. This decline in influence has been further exacerbated by the destabilization of Bashar Al-Assad’s regime in Syria, a key ally of Iran.
Before his eventual ousting, Assad conveyed to Iran that Turkey had been actively supporting Sunni rebel factions in their coordinated efforts to overthrow his administration, highlighting the complex geopolitical tensions in the region.
In a recent address at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken remarked that 2024 has “not been a good year for Iran,” underscoring the mounting challenges the country faces both domestically and internationally.
