  • The Gulf Military Balance in 2019: a Graphic Analysis
    Anthony H. Cordesman, Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy The Gulf Military Balance in 2019: A Graphic Analysis Anthony H. Cordesman and Abdullah Toukan With the Assistance of Max Molot Working Paper: Please send comments to [email protected] REVISED December 9, 2019 Photo: ARASH KHAMOUSHI/AFP/ Getty Images Introduction 2 The military balance in the Gulf region has become steadily more complex with time. Conventional forces have been been reshaped by massive arms transfers, and changes in major weapons, technology, and virtually every aspect of joint warfare, command and control, sensors, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems. Missile warfare is changing radically as diverse mixes of ballistic and cruise missiles, UAVs and UCAVs, and missiles are deployed. Precision-guided, conventionally armed missiles are becoming a key aspect of regional forces, and so are missile defenses. The threat of nuclear pro0liferation remains, and at least one state – Iran - is a declared chemical weapons power while the Assad regime in Syria has made repeated use of chemical weapons At the same time, asymmetric forces, “proxy” forces, and various forms of military advisory and support missions are playing a growing role in local conflicts and gray area operations. So are local militia and security forces – often divided within a given Gulf state by sect and ethnicity. Terrorist and extremist forces continue pose serious threats, as do political tensions and upheavals, and the weaknesses and failures of some regional governments to meet the needs of their people. The most serious sources of Gulf conflicts are now the tensions between Iran and the Arab Gulf states, and the role played by terrorists and extremists, but civil war and insurgencies remain an additional threat - as does the links between Iran, Syria, and the Hezbollah.

    ISPSW Strategy Series: Focus on Defense and International Security Issue Escalation – Iran Against the Regional Order No. 614 Yossef Bodansky April 2019 Escalation – Iran Against the Regional Order Yossef Bodansky April 2019 Executive Summary * With the new “Middle Eastern Entente” of Iran, Turkey and Qatar consolidated - Iran is leading the bloc in escalating markedly the drive to redo the greater Middle East. Tehran is cognizant that this drive might lead to a regional war and is actively preparing for such an eventuality. * Unless Russia and China succeed to restrain and contain the new bloc, especially Iran, an eruption of violence is all but inevitable. Any such conflagration with regional ramifications will escalate to a war with Israel - for Israel will surely resist by determined force a collapse of the regional order to its detriment. The Mullahs in Tehran are cognizant and seem increasingly willing to face the risk.
