University of Oklahoma professor Joshua Landis has said the United States is currently in a “losing position” in the Gulf region, while Israel appears to be gaining strategically amid rising tensions with Iran. He argues that despite strong military presence, Washington lacks clear long-term influence and faces regional resistance. In contrast, Israel has strengthened its position through decisive military and strategic actions. Landis highlighted shifting alliances and regional dynamics, suggesting the balance of power is evolving rapidly. His remarks come as conflict risks grow in West Asia, raising concerns over broader geopolitical stability. (PC: The Hindu)
