The US is Accidentally Empowering Iran

    The United States is doing more to help than prevent Iran's rise
    For its tough talk, the U.S.' policies have left vaccums for Iran to fill
    In Iraq and Syria, Iranian influence grows while U.S. soft power fades
    The U.S. is also aiding Saudi in its Forever War in Yemen, costing both countries while benefitting Iran


For all the tough talk against Iran, the United States is accidentally but aggressively pursuing a policy of empowering the country it has branded the ‘biggest state sponsor of terror’ in the world.

During his speech at the United Nations in September, Trump lambasted Iran’s aggression in the Middle East: “Iran's government must stop supporting terrorists, begin serving its own people, and respect the sovereign rights of its neighbors.”

At the same time, Trump has relinquished any semblance of control over Iraq, given up on Syria, and is helping Saudi to hopelessly entangle its economy and military in a failed proxy war in Yemen. All of these have given Iran precious opportunities to capture what the United States leaves behind and grow its regional influence.
