Deep dives
Tensions in the Middle East
The Middle East is poised for continued unrest in 2025, largely due to the ongoing presence of militant groups such as the Houthis and the enduring influence of Iran's Islamic regime. The disintegration of the Iranian economy exacerbates the situation, with rising instability and blackouts impacting the populace. Despite hopes for a calming environment, the combination of heightened American military presence and the geopolitical complexities of the region, including Syria and Turkey's roles, suggests that tensions may escalate rather than subside. This anticipation of conflict stems from the failure of diplomatic efforts and the lack of fundamental changes needed to foster a lasting peace.
