Recommendation

US president Donald Trump’s gradual reassertion of American involvement in the Middle East is upsetting the region’s volatile geopolitical balance. As Trump ramps up his hostile rhetoric against Iran and threatens to tear up the 2015 nuclear deal, an understanding of the dynamics of the region and Iranian internal politics becomes ever more crucial. The experts at Geopolitical Intelligence Services provide a good starting point: an Iran dossier that outlines Iran’s ascent as a regional power and US efforts to counter it.  

Take-Aways

  • The United States’ 2015 Iran nuclear deal has strengthened Iran’s position and decreased regional stability in the Middle East.
  • The historic rivalry between Iran and Saudi Arabia is playing out through proxy wars in several Middle Eastern countries, including Yemen, Syria and Iraq.
  • Domestically, Iran endures deep divisions between Islamic hard-liners and moderate reformists supporting Iranian president Hassan Rouhani.
