Geopolitical Tensions in the Middle East

This chapter examines the recent escalation of conflict in Israel and the surrounding regions, attributing the crisis to strategic missteps by the current U.S. administration and the repercussions of America's withdrawal from Afghanistan. It discusses Iran's role in funding terrorist organizations and its ambitions for regional dominance, as well as the impact of oil sanctions on Iran's economy and global oil prices. Additionally, the chapter explores the potential for shifting alliances in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Saudi Arabia, and how Iran seeks to disrupt these developments.
