The Trump administration published its annual National Security Strategy document, outlining the major global threats and priorities for the year.
Iran is mentioned only three times — a dramatic shift from past years — with the report stating that although Tehran is still viewed as the main source of regional instability, its significant weakening between 2023–2025, primarily due to Israel’s operations, now allows the US to redirect resources to other arenas.

Washington openly acknowledges what Jerusalem has argued all along: Israel’s decisive military and intelligence actions have dramatically reduced Iran’s regional power.

A weakened Iran means diminished support for Hezbollah, Hamas, and other terror proxies — strengthening Israel’s security and undermining the axis that threatens the West.
