In an article, Foreign Affairs said West Asia is a region where no one is in charge of it, adding that the October 7 war in Gaza swept away illusions regarding power structure in the region.
According to the article, Washington fled the region desperately and considered the so-called normalization between the Israeli regime and certain littoral states of the Persian Gulf as an opportunity to pursue the policy of containing Iran, but the regime and a US-led coalition are now fighting forces close to the Islamic Republic in five different places namely Gaza, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen, while none of the Arab states of the Persian Gulf are involved in the mentioned locations and they even pursue de-escalation with Tehran.
The US is losing its influence in the region, the article stressed, adding that Washington cannot even push the Israeli regime to accept the so-called two-state solution or the return of the Palestinian Authority to the Gaza Strip.
Despite the fact that the US possesses a big military, it is incapable of forcing Yemeni militants to stop attacks on American forces or its merchant ships, according to the article.
The US tries to portray itself as an active player in the region, but it is engaged in fighting groups affiliated with Iran, and at the same time it requests the belligerent Israeli regime to agree to its demands, the writer of the article argued, concluding that West Asia is seeing itself in a transition period; so, it would be better to forget a unipolar or multipolar system because West Asia is a region without any clear polarity, the US is an ineffective power in the region, and its rivals have less inclination to take responsibility there.
