Description: In the aftermath of more than seven decades of U.S. interventions in the Middle East, the region remains a complex web of proxy wars, fragile alliances, and entrenched conflicts. From the covert operations that toppled Iran’s Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953, to the ill-fated invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East has been marked by a recurring pattern of short-term victories at the cost of long-term stability. Yet, time and again, the United States has engaged in conflicts driven by a mixture of geopolitical ambitions, strategic miscalculations, and ideological commitments, often leaving the region more unstable than before.
