Axis of Resistance and the vision of regional order; Tel Aviv’s failure in changing the balance of power
Mehr News Agency, international Group: The post-october 7 confrontation can be seen as a clash between new order-makers and defenders of the old order.In the face-off between the Resistance Axis,led by the Islamic Republic of Iran,and the Western Axis,led by America and the Zionist regime,what unfolded was not a state of “full-scale war” but rather an oscillation between “limited war” or “asymmetric warfare.” Previously, iran and the Zionist regime had engaged within a “gray zone,” adhering to principles of “hybrid warfare.”
By relying on its regional allies, Iran had created a kind of “ring of fire” around occupied Palestine—referred to during “Operation Al-aqsa Storm” as the policy of “unity of battlefields.” Conversely, relying on its intelligence-security arms—Mossad, Aman (Military Intelligence), and Shin Bet—the Zionist regime launched an extensive campaign of assassinations and sabotage across Resistance territories. This peaked with assassinations such as those targeting martyrs Zahedi (IRGC commander), Ismail Haniyeh (Hamas political chief), Fouad Shukr (Hezbollah commander), and Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah (Hezbollah Secretary-General).
despite 580 days passing as this confrontation began, Western think tanks and media outlets—without acknowledging Resistance achievements or its remaining capacities against Israel’s occupation regime—attempt to push narratives suggesting that in recent conflicts Israel has shifted regional balance in its favor. Beyond these false narratives here we examine both current conditions within resistance movements & prospects for reshaping Middle Eastern order.
Has Netanyahu’s ‘New Order’ Materialized?
On Sunday May 4th ,2025 ,Israel’s security cabinet approved operational plan Gideon Chariots, declaring intent toward long-term presence inside Gaza Strip despite warnings from Chief-of-Staff Lt Gen Zamir regarding fate Israeli captives there.Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich even demanded acceptance word occupation. Nearly one-and-half years prior Benjamin Netanyahu alongside Yoav Gallant Benny Gantz formed national emergency government counter Hamas threat & entire pillars resistance movement .Early days war saw Zionists declare primary goals: destruction Hamas, release Israeli captives & altering Gaza geopolitics .Yet months later field realities reveal failure achieve these enterprising objectives according New York Times reports indicating rapid reconstitution battalions readiness strike back while fifty-three prisoners remain trapped inside enclave amid Trump-Zionist pressure failing force Gazans abandon homeland now facing prolonged military occupation under IDF control signaling Netanyahu right-wing allies prioritize sustaining crisis survival over declared wartime aims meanwhile groups like hamas PIJ West Bank Hezbollah Lebanon Ansarallah Yemen Hashd al-Shaabi Iraq retain dynamic presence proving regional landscape unchanged thus far preventing Bibi imposing his so-called new order upon Middle East regionally speaking anyway!
Why Is The ‘Resistance’ Unbreakable?
One mainstream media fabrication frames members axis resistance merely Iranian proxies West Asia when truth is they natural allies rooted deeply history society culture area rendering baseless propaganda claims about nature relations among them irrelevant marginal at best!
Middle East Victor Is New Order-Maker!
Operation Al-Aqsa Storm marked turning point confrontation between two axes opening doors opportunities threats alike major regional powers beyond just affecting military-security equations also triggering profound political geopolitical shifts redefining actors roles emerging world/regional orders events like fall Bashar al-Assad legal system Syria assassination leaders including Nasrallah Haniyeh plus elimination key commanders economic-political figures dealt blows yet story isn't solely highs lows e.g., expulsion IDF south Lebanon defeat zionists during thirty-three-day-war punctuated tactical setbacks martyrdom heroes.
Additionally relentless air strikes targeting infrastructure weapons depots belonging factions Lebanon Iraq Syria underscore aggressive posture adopted Tel Aviv throughout period though ironically fostering greater solidarity Muslim nations restraining apartheid state whereas earlier strategies (ring fire, unity battlefields) aimed imposing attrition warfare faced serious challenges designed exert multi-dimensional pressure ultimately seeking gradual erosion collapse entity via coordinated efforts across fronts structural survival resilience despite damages sustained preparing next phase confrontations CENTCOM-Zionist alliance.
Final Word
Tactical assassinations sporadic sabotage don’t necessarily yield strategic gains even if pursuing death-by-thousand-cuts approach hasn’t neutralized every element strength requires realism identifying countering threats posed effectively meanwhile West seeks marginalize BRI corridor operationalize IMEC project transforming entity into link chain policies spanning Indo-Pacific Euro-Atlantic theaters Supreme Leader Friday prayers highlighted goal making gateway exporting energy importing goods/technologies hence necessity disrupt restructuring process favoring US-Zionists leveraging geopolitical competition among Washington-Beijing-Moscow strengthening deterrence gradually tilting balance favor through collective action revisionist powers!
