Washington's Cabinet Office for Manchu in West Asia, analyst Batool Subeiti argues that the axis of resistance is winning by points, not by decisive blows. Each new US-Israel pressure front allows the Axis to exert unacceptable leverage - Hormuz, Bab al-Mandab, energy flows and geopolitical location - shifting conflicts into areas more sensitive to its adversaries. The enemy no longer faces fixed, built-in capabilities, but a flexible range that is gradually deployed. Power is not just missiles but geography, sea corridors and endurance. Inconsistent pivot power remains larger than many realize, with 40% of global energy potentially under its scrutiny.
