flag Bolivia’s new president, Rodrigo Paz, ends leftist rule, shifting foreign policy toward the U.S. and Israel, and challenging Iran’s regional influence.

flag Bolivia’s election of center-right senator Rodrigo Paz ends nearly two decades of leftist rule by the MAS, signaling a major foreign policy shift toward the United States and a potential restoration of ties with Israel, severed in 2023 over the Gaza conflict. flag The new administration is expected to reassess Bolivia’s 2023 security agreement with Iran on drones, cybersecurity, and training, threatening Tehran’s growing influence in the Andes. flag While Iran congratulated Paz, no direct contact has occurred, unlike swift outreach from the U.S. and Israel, with Israel planning to attend Paz’s inauguration. flag Analysts view the change as a setback for Iran’s regional ambitions, reducing its diplomatic and operational reach, limiting access to lithium supply chains, and narrowing its strategic foothold in Latin America.
