In mid-2026, the Middle East experienced significant geopolitical shifts that led to a decline in Iran's influence in Iraq and Lebanon. In Iraq, the government launched a legal and security campaign called "Dawn Surge" to combat corruption, resulting in widespread arrests and the seizure of millions of dollars. This weakened networks involved in oil smuggling and the financing of armed factions loyal to Tehran, with the government affirming the end of the "Resistance" presence after September and reducing the influence of armed militias. In Lebanon, an framework agreement was signed aiming to dismantle the military wings of Hezbollah and Amal Movement, disarming their heavy and medium weapons, and transferring arms to the Lebanese Army. This marked the end of Iran's logistical influence and shifted the balance of power in favor of the state. The region is moving towards curbing Iran's reach, with radical changes in global and regional power dynamics, amidst intense negotiations with Iran and evolving negotiation terms favoring Washington—a clear sign of Iran's regional project waning and states regaining their sovereignty.
