For decades, U.S. hostility toward Iran has been framed as a response to Iranian aggression; however, it largely serves to maintain an Israeli-centered regional order.

Recent events in Gaza illustrate how Iran is scapegoated for regional resistance, reinforcing U.S. alignment with Israeli interests and sidelining broader geopolitical implications.
