  • The Brewing Crisis in the Persian Gulf: New Rules for Old Games No
    ISPSW Strategy Series: Focus on Defense and International Security Issue The Brewing Crisis in The Persian Gulf: New Rules for Old Games No. 624 Yossef Bodansky June 2019 The Brewing Crisis in The Persian Gulf: New Rules for Old Games Yossef Bodansky June 2019 Executive Summary * Although the unfolding crises throughout the greater Middle East are increasingly driven by, and unfold according to, heritage-based frameworks and dynamics - the outcome of the Moscow Summit will have disproportionate influence over the next phases of these crises, and, consequently, the future of the region. The escalating confrontation between Iran and the US is both influencing and influenced by the mega-trends set by Russia and China. * Even though both Russia and China are not satisfied with the Iranian and Iran-Proxy activities and policies in the Iraq-Syria-Lebanon area - it is far more important for them to support Iran in the confrontations with the US in order to expedite the consolidation of the New Silk Road. * The US keeps escalating its covert war with Iran - both in the Persian Gulf and in Syria. The extent of the escalation and the focusing on objectives of great importance for Iran cannot but lead to Iranian harsh reaction. * Qassem Soleimani continues traveling clandestinely throughout the Middle East - preparing his vast and growing forces, both Iranian and Iran-Proxy, for the fateful clash with the US and its allies should Khamenei give the order. About ISPSW The Institute for Strategic, Political, Security and Economic Consultancy (ISPSW) is a private institute for research and consultancy. The ISPSW is an objective, task-oriented and politically non-partisan institute.
