Judging by what is newly happening in Venezuela, I think its unlikely USA will cede control over Iraq's oil/money as the mentality of the US state is unchanged. And USA is in debt/various individuals profiting personally.

Iran is becoming the new regional power while USA is retreating from the entire ME.

>Iran is becoming the new regional power

Is that what the Iranian state media is telling you?

These are facts. American bases are destroyed or being withdrawn. USA can no longer protect its allies from Iran. Hence, Iran is becoming the only power in the region.

P.S. I have no idea what is Iranian state media or how to watch/read it.

Iran is best mates with the other Superpower country, China. And via China, Russia and the Brics and other China allies.

So Iran with these partners and the population size and natural resources, its reasonable to say it is a regional power. And not a 'new' one, but has been for some time.

One of Trump and allies main points right now is that Iran and allies are decimating regional bases and air capacities.

Look at the US allies in the region, they're all struggling to defend against Iran right now. The US is dangerously low on munitions to protect allies and much of the US's presence in the area has been bombed.

The US is losing this war.
