🧵 What does the #China-backed #SaudiArabia- #Iran deal in the context of the US-Saudi bilateral relations? 1. US policymakers likely feel mixed emotions because while they are not eager to cede influence over major regional negotiations with security implications, the US’ troubled relationship with Iran would have made it a poor and ineffective mediator of this détente.

🧵 What does the China-brokered normalization deal between #SaudiArabia and #Iran mean for great power competition between the United States and #China? 1. Because the Gulf remains an essential energy source, major host of domestic and international capital, and a central node for maritime and naval connectivity, great powers will always aim to play a major role in the region.

سلسلة تغريدات:كيف تتحرك تركيا لتطويق منطقه الساحل الافريقي؟

هناك مصلحة تركية مباشرة في وجود حكومة موالية لأنقرة في طرابلس من اجل ترسيم الحدود البحرية وإعطاء الشركات التركية عقود للتنقيب عن النفط واعادة الاعمار. و لكن استراتيجيا ترى تركيا أن توجدها في ليبيا يساعد أنقرة على توسيع نفوذها في منطقة الساحل الأفريقي.
