Geopolitik: Der Krieg gegen den Iran hat im Nahen Osten neue Allianzen hervorgebracht

Geopolitik: Der Krieg gegen den Iran hat im Nahen Osten neue Allianzen hervorgebracht

Since nearly three years, the Middle East has been in a state of war. Neither the Gaza conflict nor the conflict with Iran has been resolved. There is a state of affairs where there are hardly any direct military confrontations, but no peace either. Above all, war with Iran could break out at any time again. US President Donald Trump failed to implement his peace plan for the Gaza Strip.

He lost interest in further negotiations with Iran. He announced on August 18 that there are currently no negotiations and none are planned. Instead, he threatens the Iranian leadership with an "economic war and an unprecedented level of isolation" – an economic "D-Day," writes the president on his Truth Social platform. What Trump ultimately wants, he has not explained.

The overthrow of the regime? His capitulation? The abandonment of the nuclear program? Faced with his erratic course, the rulers of the Gulf are looking for new alliance partners who promise them greater security. The regional political map is being redrawn.
