I think this guest is right on target. The US empire playing a role in the Middle East has ended, and it will not be getting it back. This is a good, brief interview about what the near future looks like.
"The Iran War did not create an Iranian Middle East. Instead, it accelerated the collapse of the American-led regional order that has existed since the end of the Cold War. What emerges in its place will resemble a balance-of-power system dominated by regional actors. Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Pakistan are positioning themselves to shape the region’s future. The winners will be the states that adapt to this new reality. The losers will be those who continue acting as though Washington remains the sole arbiter of events."
