Commentators Question the Durability of U.S. Power in the Middle East

A series of recent commentaries argues that U.S. dominance in the Middle East is weakening or ending. The Economist asks whether American hegemony over the region is coming to an end and separately examines the consequences of the United States “walking away,” while the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace describes three ruptures leading to the end of “Pax Americana” in the Middle East.

Middle East Eye similarly declares that the “American Middle East” is over nearly 25 years after the war on terror began. Moneyweb, citing investment manager Ninety One, frames the issue more broadly as the United States losing its grip on global power.
