The focus on Iran as the U.S.'s greatest adversary distorts U.S. foreign policy and contributes to the harmful cycle of foreign military interventions that do more damage than good. By prioritizing regional conflicts in the Middle East, the U.S. diverts attention and resources from more significant global challenges, exacerbates proxy wars, and undermines diplomatic efforts. Ending military interventions and focusing on diplomacy and strategic global priorities would better serve U.S. national security interests and reduce the destructive impact of foreign involvement in local conflicts.
