The West鈥檚 attempted transition away from fossil fuels has given its adversaries an advantage. China dominates much of the green energy sector, and Russia continues to fund its war against Ukraine with oil and natural gas profits. Meanwhile, Iran has capitalized on this shift by using its oil revenues to bolster its regional influence, fund proxy militias, and strengthen ties with both Russia and China. The Trump administration has begun to reverse the energy policies that created this dangerous paradigm, but the United States will need the cooperation of its allies and partners鈥攑articularly in the Middle East鈥攖o regain its status as an energy superpower and weaken the Russia-China-Iran axis.
