Nournews: Such developments have emerged under conditions in which the US and the Zionist regime are still attempting to transfer their crises to West Asia and create divisions among Muslim countries in order to advance their own interests amid others’ conflicts. From this perspective, military coalitions and the proposed economic projects should be evaluated as two aspects of a single strategy aimed at redefining regional dynamics in favor of Washington and Tel Aviv.
Repetition of an Already Failed Experience
Previously, Riyadh had also launched a massive war against Yemen through the establishment of military coalitions. A war that, despite costing hundreds of billions of dollars, has not only failed to achieve Saudi Arabia’s announced objectives but has also failed to weaken the determination of the Yemeni people.
The restrictions created in the Red Sea were also the result of the same military aggression, and Yemen’s reaction was formed within the framework of legitimate defense.
As a result, instead of ignoring the root causes of the crisis, the violations committed by the party that initiated the war must be taken into consideration.
Today, the reproduction of the same coalition-building pattern represents the continuation of the same calculus error. A country that has been able to resist military pressure from the United States and force Washington to accept a unilateral ceasefire is unlikely to retreat in the face of threats from Saudi Arabia.
Therefore, any calculation based on changing the balance of power through a propaganda-driven coalition is more a repetition of failed experiences rather than a realistic strategy; an experience that could bring further political, economic, and reputational costs for its designers.
A Mirage of Economic Consortiums and Media Narratives
Simultaneously with these military developments, some Western media outlets have raised the issue of establishing a US-Saudi consortium to create an energy export route beyond the Strait of Hormuz. However, the geopolitical realities of the region show that the strategic importance of the Strait, as well as the conditions in the Red Sea, will create serious operational challenges for such proposals.
Therefore, such projects appear to be less feasible and serve more of a propaganda function in managing energy markets and creating a psychological atmosphere surrounding shipping security.
However, the economic dimension of these narratives should not be ignored. The US has received billions of dollars from Arab nations by relying on the strategy of “selling security” over the past decades. Today, arms sales, the establishment of new coalitions, and the presentation of expensive proposals could be a continuation of the policy of transferring America’s domestic crises to its regional partners; a policy that is less about creating security and more about exploiting the economic resources of Arab countries for the benefit of the US economy.
The Regional Security Strategy: Convergence Against the Enemy, Hot War Against Brothers
The coincidence of these developments with remarks made by officials of the Zionist regime regarding the creation of alternative routes for energy transfer indicates that these projects do not have purely economic dimensions.
It appears that Washington and Tel Aviv are attempting to create conditions for bringing some Arab countries closer to Israel through the use of economic instruments; a strategy that had been pursued with the aim of turning the Zionist regime into an energy hub even before the “Al-Aqsa Storm Operation.”
Emphasizing claims by some media outlets regarding attacks attributed to Iran and Yemen, which have been rejected by both countries, can be evaluated within the same framework: an atmosphere in which directed narratives are used to create the grounds for pursuing new security and political projects.
Ultimately, regional dynamics show that a sustainable security solution does not depend on forming military coalitions against other regional countries; rather, it is based on collective cooperation to end foreign interference and confront hidden occupation.
Any strategy based on deepening divisions among Muslim countries, selling security, and promoting proxy wars will result only in the continuation of instability.
The experiences of previous years have shown that sustainable security in West Asia can only be achieved through regional cooperation, reducing foreign interference, and confronting the policies of the US and the Zionist regime that contribute to creating crises.
