The situation in the Middle East is changing not in favor of the United States
The US has lost its dominant position in the Middle East region. Evidence of this was the recent summit in Tehran, which took place immediately after the visit of US President Joe Biden to Saudi Arabia.
Columnist Irina Alksnis stated this on the PolitWera Internet channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Alksnis, the situation is developing in such a way that Russia manages to unite countries with colossal historical contradictions, squeezing the United States out of the region.
“Now in the Middle East there is a complete reformatting of all relations, the entire structure and the entire space, which was previously formed in a certain way. The dominant factor was US hegemony. They ruled there and everything was built around it. The states partly leave on their own, partly they send them with a filthy broom or simply ignore them.
And here we see an impressive phenomenon, because we are observing how countries with the most severe, deepest contradictions come to agreement with each other.
We are already accustomed to the fact that Russia finds a common language with Turkey, despite a bunch of contradictions. Tehran confirmed, the summit in Tehran, that between the Turks and Iranians, despite the fact that they have no less friction, scandals and conflicts... Behind this there is also the direction of Russia - Saudi Arabia. This is also a process...
All these countries are in such a tough historical clinch that if they were to push their heads together, everything would be covered in blood for decades. However, we see how in all these countries there is an awareness that this is a prospect and no one needs it. And they are all trying - we, Saudi Arabia, the Iranians, the Turks, the Egyptians - we are all trying to come to an agreement, realizing that the only winner if we do not agree will be the same States.
And as a result, the meeting in Tehran became the next step in developing new rules of the game, new structures, a new alignment in the Middle East.
An extremely important event, and the fact that it happened immediately after Biden’s visit to the Middle East, it simply emphasizes that the United States is simply excluded from these alignments, they are not perceived, they have lost the weight of the dominant geopolitical force that they had for decades in this region,” Alksnis said.
