SUMMARY:After the Iran War? The New Balance of Power in the Middle East
DTSTAMP:20260422T102825Z
DTSTART:20260512T180000Z
DESCRIPTION:How have the wars in Iran\, Lebanon and Gaza reshaped the power
	 balance in the\nMiddle-East?\n\nThe wars in Iran\, Lebanon\, and Gaza hav
	e significantly upended the balance of\npower in the Middle East. Israel h
	as strengthened its position as a regional\npower. Iran has taken heavy bl
	ows\, but the regime remains firmly in power (and\nnow controls the Strait
	 of Hormuz). Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates\nare meanwhile enga
	ged in their own power struggle over who will become the\nleading power on
	 the Arabian Peninsula.\n\nEspecially for the latter two countries\, the I
	ran war may have major\nconsequences. Now that Iranian missiles have threa
	tened skyscrapers in Dubai and\nRiyadh\, the illusion of a safe haven for 
	investors and expats has been\nshattered\, thereby severely endangering th
	eir economic model.\n\nDuring this program\, we examine the new balance of
	 power in the Middle East. Who\nwill emerge stronger from the recent wars?
	 And what does that mean for the proxy\nconflicts in places such as Sudan 
	and Yemen?
