Why have Iran and its “Axis of Resistance” proven so durable in the face of waves of military and economic warfare, and what does this mean for the future of the Middle East? On Monday, June 22, we presented findings from Beyond the Axis, a major new Century International report that investigates how and why Iran and its allies were able to reconstitute so quickly in the wars that began in October 2023. Drawing on fieldwork and open-source investigations, this original research shows how Iran has enabled allied groups not only to deploy advanced weapons but to build and even transfer these capabilities.
