Strategic Briefing:

From Tehran to Gaza - A Regional Order in Collapse

The October 7th terror attack by Hamas did not just ignite another round of violence—it marked the beginning of a profound geopolitical transformation. In the 18 months since, the region has witnessed the unraveling of the Iranian-led axis, the reshaping of alliances, and the emergence of new strategic realities.

Supported by the United States, Israel has led a coordinated campaign that severely degraded Iran’s military infrastructure—targeting its missile stockpiles, disrupting its proxy command structures, and delaying its nuclear ambitions. What was once a tightly coordinated “Axis of Resistance”—spanning Hezbollah in Lebanon, Assad’s Syria, Shiite militias in Iraq, Hamas in Gaza, and the Houthis in Yemen—is now fractured and exposed.

In Gaza, Hamas continues to prolong a devastating war by refusing to capitulate or release the hostages abducted on October 7. This protracted 18-month conflict has deepened humanitarian suffering while delaying efforts to chart a post-Hamas future for the territory.

This 45-minute strategic briefing will provide a high-level analysis of:

• Iran’s declining regional power and the strategic dismantling of its proxy system
• Hezbollah’s weakening position and loss of regional deterrence
• Syria’s political realignment and the growing distance from Tehran
• The Gaza impasse and prospects for a new governing framework

 The war has disrupted the old order—but it has also opened the door to unprecedented opportunities for stability, cooperation, and a new security architecture in the Middle East.
