The Saudi and Iran Pact That Is Shaking Israel’s Confidence

The Saudi and Iran Pact That Is Shaking Israel’s Confidence

Another nightmare for Netanyahu is emerging as dialogue continues to be 'fruitful' between Saudi Arabia and Iran...

Right, so for decades, the Gulf monarchies have played their roles dutifully... American oil partners, Israeli back channels, and guardians of a European-defined “regional order” in Western Asia. But that order is breaking down. Israel's unchecked militarism, America’s waning reliability, and Iran’s rising deterrent power as now ably demonstrated by 12 days of retaliation following an unprovoked Israeli strike have made neutrality not just attractive for those states caught in the middle, but essential.

A new script is being drafted... not in Washington or Tel Aviv, not in the interests of the US and Israel, but in Jeddah, in the interests of the likes of Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Donald Trump and Netanyahu are going to be hating every last bit of this, the oil rich states seeking closer alignment with a nation they hate, but the key word here is neutral, the Saudis and their ilk are not seeking to take sides, but will they be seen to be doing that anyway by an administration as unhinged as that of Israel?

Right, so this recalibration by Gulf monarchies, as much as Israel might be hating the prospect, is their own doing. It can be traced directly to that most recent bust up between Israel and Iran last month, when Israel carried out an unprovoked airstrike on Iranian nuclear facilities, sparking a rapid Iranian retaliation that culminated in strikes across Israel.

The significance of this strike was not merely military... it disrupted trade, paralyzed Israel’s port operations, and underscored Iran’s credible regional deterrent.

This escalation had a chilling effect on Gulf capitals. With the United States' military bases strewn across their territories, monarchs from Riyadh to Abu Dhabi understood that another round of escalation could pull them into a conflict they had not chosen.

Gulf monarchies are rethinking their *strategic alliances* in Western Asia due to Israel's actions and America's changing role, leading to new *geopolitical implications.* With Iran's growing power, these states find *foreign policy* neutrality essential, impacting the regional order and global *military* dynamics. This shift affects how the *Western Asia news* is shaped.

ABOUT ME:

Hi, I'm Damien Willey. I'm a former welder, but now I'm a writer, blogger, vlogger and presenter and interviewer with Socialist Telly (Please do go and visit what we all get up to on, https://www.youtube.com/c/SocialistTelly

I'm an unpaid carer for my disabled wife and daughter and as such we know all too well the difficulties that associated with that living in Tory Britain and I personally believe the answer lies in socialism.

This channel, along with my other social media act as outlets to push back against that, to demand better of our politicians and leaders, to pull apart the media spin that supports them and the way the UK is run and to give a voice, loud as mine is, to the voiceless.
