## Resource

Explore the complex geopolitics of the Middle East! This interview breaks down escalating tensions involving the US, Israel, Iran, Yemen, and GCC nations. Discover why Western "black-and-white" strategies fail in a region defined by nuanced, triangular relationships. We analyze Iran and Yemen's "controlled escalation" to achieve objectives without all-out war, and how Gulf states navigate this fragile balance. Learn why external powers struggle to grasp the Middle East's unique diplomatic logic, and why current US policies lack a clear rationale. Hosted on Acast.
