Axis Reads Democrats' Win
The article argues that the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, the dissolution of the army, and the de-Baathification process weakened state institutions and opened the way for Iran to expand its influence through allies in Iraq, and later in Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza. It traces shifts in US policy—from the 2011 withdrawal from Iraq, through on-the-ground convergence with Iran in the fight against ISIS and the 2015 nuclear deal, to renewed confrontation under the Trump and Biden administrations—culminating in the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024 and the direct US-Israeli war with Iran in February 2026. It concludes that Washington’s decisions helped create the conditions for the rise of the Axis of Resistance before the US later confronted it, while Arab countries bore the greatest cost in diminished sovereignty and stability.
