Description

The Saudi-Iranian Rivalry and the Future of Middle East Security The Middle East is experiencing a period of significant change, with the foreign policies of the United States and regional states facing new challenges. Amidst this upheaval, opportunities and challenges exist for states to advance their interests while marginalizing those of their rivals. The rivalry between Iran and Saudi Arabia is a defining feature of the region's strategic landscape, with long-standing competition now taking on increased importance. This monograph by Dr. W. Andrew Terrill examines the evolution of the Saudi-Iranian rivalry in a rapidly changing environment. The competition between these two states has a history dating back to the 1979 Iranian Islamic Revolution, with various forms of rivalry emerging in its aftermath. The author considers how this rivalry is adapting to the current era of revolutionary upheaval, with the stakes potentially rising due to the fragility of some long-standing relationships. By exploring the complexities of the Saudi-Iranian rivalry, Dr. Terrill provides insight into the challenges and opportunities facing regional and extra-regional states in the Middle East.
