Is the Saudi-UAE rift the new normal for the Gulf?
With the GCC facing a fundamental divide over state sovereignty and regional order, the stakes for Oman and Qatar have never been higher.

🇸🇦🇵🇰🇹🇷 If you missed our article (w @RakipogluMehmet) on the alignment between #Saudi_Arabia, #Pakistan, and #Turkiye, here it is:

The notion of a trilateral alignment has gained public visibility amid a period of intensifying regional rivalries. In the #Gulf, tension between #Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (#UAE) have exposed diverging strategic priorities within what was once assumed to be a relatively cohesive bloc by western observers.
In the #Levant, relations between #Türkiye and #Israel have deteriorated sharply, reinforcing #Ankara’s perception of an increasingly militarized and unilateral #Israeli regional posture and hegemonic agenda.
In #South_Asia, #Pakistan continues to confront a hostile security environment defined by its rivalry with #India.>>>More details

NEW: After a deadly crackdown, #Iranian authorities are now organizing state-led mourning for victims of the recent unrest. 🇮🇷
Critics view the move as a cynical attempt to co-opt public grief and deflect accountability for the state’s use of force.

While name recognition has bolstered #RezaPahlavi's bid to lead the #Iranian opposition, major hurdles remain.
His struggle to gain global diplomatic traction, alongside his supporters’ hostility toward critics, continues to stall the formation of a truly united front.

From the exit of the Saudis to the rise of new local power players, southern Yemen is facing a drastically transformed political landscape. 🇾🇪
