The Middle East’s Cold War, Explained

Cold War, Explained

How two feuding countries are tearing apart the Middle East.
The Saudis and Iranians have never actually declared war on each other. Instead, they fight indirectly by supporting opposing sides in other countries and inciting conflicts. This is known as proxy warfare.

And that’s exactly what’s happening in the Middle East. The Saudi-Iranian rivalry has become a fight over influence, and the whole region is a battlefield.
