Al-Hadath Studio: US and Iran Influence from Iraq to Lebanon
Washington's policy towards Iran has focused on reducing its influence and preventing it from acquiring nuclear weapons, utilizing various tools including diplomacy, sanctions, and maximum pressure. This strategy has led to heightened tensions in the Gulf over maritime security and oil facilities, with threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, prompting Gulf countries to bolster their defenses and seek a balance between relying on American protection and avoiding direct confrontation with Iran.
