Please also note that "destabilizing Iranian influence is ambiguous and could mean either of the following:
1. to destabilize Iranian influence
2. Iranian influence which is destablizing
My current translation is based on the first meaning. In case of the second, it could be translated as:
کند کردن نفوذ رو به بی ثباتی ایران

Thank you, Farzad! But I think Edward is right here as always. Destabilizing is a transitive verb meaning to cause something to destabilize, not to get destabilized. So, I am sure it means بی ثبات کننده and not رو به بی ثباتی.

Younes Mostafaei
: Dear Hossein notice that it refers to the Iranian influence which is destablizing and not to destabilize Iranian influence. It is also crystal clear that Iranian and destabilizing are two adjectives for influnce. It's not a noun (destabilization).

Discussion
کند کردن بی ثباتی تاثیر ایران can be back-translated in this way > to blunt the destabilization of Iranian influence. It gives this meaning that Iranian influence is not stable, so it's destablization can be reduced.
while the sentence refers to the fact that Iranian influence causes destabilization in the region.
