Abstract
Strategic dynamics in the Middle East are in flux. While conflict and terrorism have
eroded stability across the region, a cold war between Iran and its Sunni Arab
neighbors has worsened. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states in particular fear
their Iranian neighbor’s growing influence in the region. They see their security and
Sunni dominion in general threatened by the ascendency of Iran and its Shiite allies.
Added to this is the specter of a nuclear-armed Iran, which many in the Gulf feel will
one day become a reality.
