Rhod Mackenzie examines why Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman may be paying a growing strategic and economic price for their close relationship with Washington.As tensions with Iran rise, the Persian Gulf is becoming more dangerous, more unstable, and more economically exposed. Rhod looks at the risks facing the Gulf monarchies, including the threat to oil exports, shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, regional security, and the wider global economy.

This analysis also explores the role of the United States, Iran, and Israel in the region, the vulnerability of Gulf energy infrastructure, and the possibility that a wider Middle East conflict could reshape global trade, energy markets, and geopolitics.If the Persian Gulf becomes the frontline of a larger confrontation, the consequences will not be limited to the Middle East. Europe, Asia, Russia, and the wider global economy will all be affected.If you value independent long-form analysis on BRICS, Eurasia, de-dollarization, and global power shifts, subscribe and support the channel on Patreon.
