Overview

Discover the critical crossroads of the Middle East with **The Gulf and the War Against Iran** by Hichem Karoui - an incisive exploration of one of the world's most volatile regions. This timely volume delves deeply into the tangled history, ongoing rivalries, and energy-driven conflicts that define the Gulf and frame its tumultuous relationship with Iran. Drawing on decades of regional dynamics, Karoui examines how ancient distrust, religious divides, and shifting alliances continue to ignite tensions and fuel global power struggles. You'll uncover the hidden drivers behind US intervention, the geopolitical chess match of energy resources and shipping routes, the transformative impact of the Iranian Revolution, and the manoeuvres of global powers and non-state actors shaping the region's uncertain future. Karoui offers not only sharp analysis of ongoing crises but also practical pathways to de-escalation, regional cooperation, and lasting peace. Rich in historical insight but laser-focused on contemporary realities-from sanctions and economic pressures to the rise of new regional and global actors-this book is essential for readers who want to understand the strategic heart of the world's most consequential conflicts. Ideal for academics, policymakers, students, and anyone seeking to grasp what's really at stake in the Gulf and beyond. Challenge your perspective. Engage in essential debates. Read **The Gulf and the War Against Iran**-and join the search for solutions in a region that shapes our shared global future.
