The Remaking of the Middle East

The conflict with Iran is reshaping alliances in the Middle East in ways that the US and Israel did not foresee. The region is caught between war and peace, dealing with the consequences of the conflict sparked by US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Iranian regime remains intact, bellicose, and in control of the Strait of Hormuz, while its allies in the "axis of resistance" still pose a lethal threat.

In response, Gulf states are reevaluating their dependence on the US as their main security guarantor, with Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan recently signing a mutual defense pact in Mecca. The agreement reflects a new reality in which regional powers will increasingly manage the threat from Iran and the instability generated by war.
