HEADLINE: Iran's Isolation and Weakening "Axis of Resistance" Post-Gaza Ceasefire

GUEST NAMES: Janatyn Sayeh, Bill Roggio

SUMMARY: Tehran is in a tough spot concerning the Gaza ceasefire because stability does not work in its favor, contradicting its strategy of regional destabilization. Iran skipped the Cairo peace summit, demonstrating its isolated diplomatic position. Experts note that the Iranian-led "axis of resistance" (including Hezbollah and Iraqi PMF factions) is severely weakened due to sanctions and cash flow reductions.

Good evening. Good evening. It can go two ways for them. The question is whether the axis of resistance led by Tehran
