The United States and Iran compete to project their influence on the strategic Middle East chessboard. Since the 20th century, Washington has been weaving a network of alliances or close relationships with countries in the region. In the 21st century, your Armed Forces have fought wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Despite the withdrawal from these conflicts, the United States has a notable military deployment in multiple bases in the area.
In parallel, since its founding in 1979, the Islamic Republic has cultivated a network of allied militias, from the Lebanese Hezbollah to the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces, through the pro-Syrian paramilitaries and, to a lesser extent, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad or the Yemeni Huthi. For all of them, the assassinated General Qasem Soleimani was the key interlocutor as responsible for the operations abroad of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
