It is coming! The Middle-East is transforming

With a fast pace, the change is inevitable. The Middle-East is reforming with the rise of new players. Iran, Syria, south of Lebanon backed up with Russia and equipped with Al-Houthy militia and Hezbollah, and on the the other side Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, and their alliances.
The Control of natural gas and strategic entrances on the Red Sea (Tiran & Sanafir), the Arabian Gulf and the land line which extend to link Europe, the security of Israel, and Fighting terrorism are the main reasons for this conglomerate!

What is the hell?

It seems somehow confusing since we have to deal with the apparent side of any phenomena.
But it is just the top of the Iceberg. I meant the soft conflict in the Middle-East. Although some may adopt a conservative view (anti-terrorism) or Islamophobia, Others may see it as a must do to refrain the ever expanding influence of Islam.
Another view attributes this trend -especially the war on Qatar- as a conflict of domination.
Regardless all these views one should not neglect the economical dimension of any conflict, in the context of history and geography.
