in recent years, the situation in the middle east has become increasingly complex, and iran's attack on israel has once again attracted world attention. the outbreak of this conflict had a major impact on american politics. with five weeks until the u.s. presidential election, republican candidate donald trump has sought to portray the administration of biden and harris as incompetent on the world stage. according to reports, the united states has been unable to broker a hostage-for-peace agreement in gaza for months, and its efforts with france to negotiate a ceasefire in lebanon during the united nations general assembly last week also came to nothing.

however, these incidents are not isolated phenomena. the complexity of the situation in the middle east in recent years and the power struggle between the various forces have provided the background for this conflict. the iranian regime is feeling pressure to show its regional proxies and allies - from hezbollah to yemen's houthis - that it is not a weak state but a capable regional power. netanyahu, meanwhile, has greater freedoms. with iranian missiles flying over tel aviv, it will be harder for washington to try to influence his actions and harder for his opponents to call for his resignation.

therefore, when the "lame duck" president faces the iranian attack, the united states' political strategy in the middle east faces a new test. from the perspective of international relations, these events also reflect changes in the power structure in the middle east. on the international stage, the middle east is experiencing a new power competition. for the united states, how to balance the two pressures and how to safeguard national interests in a complex environment is a question that requires serious consideration.
