U.S. Iran Policy Fails to Address Regional Power Dynamics and Congressional Inaction

The U.S.-Iran relationship has been shaped by decades of covert operations, regime change attempts, and economic sanctions. Historical parallels include the 1953 coup and the 2003 Iraq War, both of which contributed to regional instability and anti-American sentiment.
The U.S.-Iran conflict is not merely a bilateral issue but a symptom of broader structural and historical patterns of Western interventionism and regional power dynamics.
The lack of congressional oversight and the absence of multilateral diplomatic engagement exacerbate tensions and obscure the voices of those most affected. By incorporating cross-cultural perspectives, indigenous knowledge, and marginalized voices, and by reforming U.S. foreign policy structures, a more sustainable and inclusive path forward can be achieved. Historical precedents, such as the 1953 coup and the 2003 Iraq War, demonstrate the long-term consequences of unilateral actions, while scientific and artistic traditions offer alternative frameworks for conflict resolution. A systemic approach must address the root causes of instability and promote cooperative, inclusive, and regionally driven solutions.
