Israel's war against Hamas has so far bolstered the anti-US Iran front and placed even more daunting challenges before incoming US president Barack Obama, analysts said.
It was only a little over a year ago that President George W Bush raised hopes of rolling back Iran's newfound clout in the region when he helped revive the Palestinian-Israeli peace process in Annapolis, Maryland.
But five days of Israeli air strikes have instead raised the political fortunes of Hamas and lowered those of the Palestinian Authority, Hamas' US-backed rival and Israel's negotiating partner, they say.
