There are rumors of a new Middle Eastern Bloc emerging which I do not expect to pan out.
“Since the recent conflict in Iran, a new geopolitical bloc involving Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye has been forming in the Middle East. While not formalised, the four states are poised to tackle shared security concerns together”.
I personally consider Egypt an extension of the United States and Israel through years of observation. Pakistan is worthy and might later link to Iran. Turkey is still a wild card. Erdogan is looking for a way into the regional conflict. Although his intentions are not clear. Also he tends to go rogue.
Nonetheless, it does seem news worthy. Perhaps the maligned foundation of an uncertain future – upon which to build.
[what I am finding more prevalent than all else is that our leaders seem to have caught a photo bug]
