We Stand on the Threshold of Another Era (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are periods in the history of nations and peoples, and indeed of individuals and the world as a whole, that are marked by a profound sense of uncertainty about the great objectives tied to destiny, survival, and the conduct of life. In such times, calculations become extraordinarily difficult because information is insufficient, intentions are often concealed, and those leaders upon whose shoulders the future rests experience deep turbulence. The matter becomes even more complex when cruci
Yemen: A Battle to Restore the State (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Iranian war continues along its various fronts. In reality, it is called an Iranian war because Iran was its source when Hamas launched its attack on October 7, 2023; when it mobilized its other proxies in Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen to provide support; and when it responded to the anticipated Israeli-American attack by targeting fellow Arab states in the Gulf and waging a new form of “oil weapon” against the global economy and the economies of Arab countries. In fact, the war has not entered a
What Cannot Be Understood About the Middle East's Wars (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For nearly three years now, precisely since October 7, 2023, earthquakes and hurricanes have been battering the world, and what matters most to us is what is happening in the Middle East.

A Review of Political and Economic Geography (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I hope no one has tired of the well-worn saying that if a person does not choose his parents, states do not choose their neighbors. To which one might add the region as well, since a region is made up of adjoining neighbors that have lived a shared history in which each country’s interests took shape according to what its people and its leadership settled upon. The establishment of the state of Israel astride the line separating the eastern and western halves of the Arab world produced ongoing c
On the Virtue of the Alliance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thirty-six years have passed since the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and the formation of the Arab and international coalition that liberated it, in what came to be called the Second Gulf War - preceded by the first, when Iran and Iraq fought for eight years (1980-1988). The Third Gulf War came with the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, which toppled Saddam Hussein's regime. We are now in the Fourth Gulf War, currently underway between the United States and Iran, but in reality the war stretches acr
