For two decades, American strategy has been dominated by the idea of the pivot—the belief that attention and resources could shift from one region to another as priorities changed. The Iran conflict suggests a different reality. Europe, the Middle East, the Pacific, energy security, industrial production, and critical infrastructure are no longer separate challenges arriving one at a time. They arrive together. The defining strategic question of the coming decade may not be whether the United States remains powerful, but whether any great power can maintain coherence amid converging pressures across multiple theaters simultaneously. The age of the pivot may have been largely imaginary. What remains is the challenge of managing a world where everything matters at once.
