Rising Power

The majority view among Iran watchers and experts on the Middle East is that Iran is a rising power that poses an increasing threat to regional and even global security. This article takes issue with this view arguing that the rise of Iran and the threat it poses has been vastly exaggerated. There is no reason to panic - Iran will not be as dominant as some experts believe, and its ability to threaten the Persian Gulf let alone the Middle East is not as great as feared. Even an Iran armed with nuclear weapons can be contained and balanced. Bombing Iran would therefore be a major mistake.

Historical Controversies

As historic issues continue to fester, historical controversies resurface with renewed intensity, and new threats to global security arise, the contemporary Middle East remains a hotbed of activity and the epicenter of international attention. Even as the “Arab Spring” has transformed the complexion of the region, reoccurring issues such as the Arab-Israeli conflict and Sunni-Shia divide still languish. Civil wars in Syria and Yemen convulse the area, Iraq struggles to reconstitute itself, and Iran moves ominously into the nuclear age. Islamic fundamentalism, terrorism, internecine conflict, and civil war have made the area a veritable crucible that has jeopardized regional stability and resurrected superpower rivalries.
