Dear MEPIN Readers,
Could the Middle East face renewed fighting before or after the US midterm elections?
In my interview on i24TV with Nicole Zedeck, I discuss the risks of escalation, the implications of continued Houthi attacks, and the danger of Saudi Arabia being perceived as weak.
Iran and its proxies are testing regional deterrence. Washington has an opportunity to turn this shared threat into a strategic alliance linking Israel, the Gulf states, and moderate Arab nations.
But success will require diplomatic skill, credible American leadership, and recognition that confronting Iranian expansionism is a vital, potentially existential, shared interest.
Will Washington seize this opportunity, or allow regional divisions to strengthen Tehran?
