International and regional actors stoke the flames, with the United States and Russia seeking to reposition themselves in the region andSaudi Arabia and Iran vying for supremacy. In the long term, perils including climate change, food and water insecurity, and population growth, along with bad governance and stagnant economies, will determine the destiny of the region.
