TRIBUN-VIDEO.COM - The geopolitical map of the Middle East is said to have begun to change after the conflict between the United States and Iran ended through diplomacy. A number of Gulf countries are now taking new steps that are considered different from previous ones. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Kuwait are beginning to prioritize regional stability by establishing better relations with Iran. This change is seen as a signal that trust in the US security umbrella is beginning to shift. For years, Gulf countries have relied on the US military presence to maintain regional security. However, the recent conflict has led them to consider a new strategy. They believe that a confrontational policy could potentially make the Gulf region a target for retaliation if conflict re-emerges. Therefore, diplomacy with Iran has been chosen as an effort to reduce the risk of war while maintaining regional economic stability. This change in attitude is seen as a major challenge for the US, which for decades has been known as a major power in the Middle East. On the other hand, reports also indicate that President Donald Trump faced a lack of support from several Western allies when considering military action against Iran. Several NATO and European countries chose to encourage a diplomatic solution rather than support a broader military operation. They also began prioritizing energy security and economic stability over increasing the risk of conflict in the Middle East. This situation made Washington's diplomatic position less strong than in previous conflicts. As part of the agreement to defuse tensions, the US also reportedly committed to reducing its military presence around Iran. A number of military assets and critical facilities began to be evaluated for relocation to areas deemed to pose a lower threat level. However, the peace process has not been entirely smooth. Tensions still occasionally arise due to differing interests between the two countries. Iran also continues to emphasize that its missile program, defense capabilities, and influence in the region are not part of an easily negotiable agenda. At the same time, several Gulf countries continue to strengthen communications with Tehran to avoid new conflicts that could disrupt regional security. A number of analysts believe this situation indicates the emergence of a new order in the Middle East. Where regional countries are beginning to rely more on diplomacy than on US military protection. If this trend continues, Washington's influence in the Middle East is expected to diminish. Meanwhile, Iran has the opportunity to strengthen its bargaining position through closer ties with Gulf states.
