Geopolitics: The war against Iran has produced new alliances in the Middle East
Saudi Arabia is moving closer to Turkey and Pakistan, while the UAE is expanding its military cooperation with Israel: New partnerships are emerging in the Middle East - and new lines of conflict.
The Middle East has been at war for almost three years, with conflicts in Gaza and with Iran unresolved. Despite a lack of direct military clashes, a state of peace has not been achieved, and tensions with Iran could escalate into open war at any moment. US President Donald Trump has failed to implement his peace plan for Gaza and has lost interest in negotiating with Iran, stating on August 18 that there are no current or planned talks.
Instead, he threatens the Iranian leadership with economic war and isolation, describing it as an economic "D-Day". The goals of Trump's approach remain unclear.
