Iran–Saudi Arabia proxy conflict
indirect conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Iran–Saudi Arabia proxy conflict, also named the New Middle Eastern Cold War,[1] refers to the struggle between its two main actors - Iran and Saudi Arabia. They are not confronting each other militarily, however, as the contest for political influence in the region mainly plays out in other Middle Eastern states. The rivalry is primarily a political and economic struggle exacerbated by the history between the two countries.
