Saudi Arabia Seeks to Fill Power Vacuum as Iran's Influence Wanes in Middle East

As Iran's power wanes, Saudi Arabia is shifting its stance to capitalize on the regional power vacuum, reassessing ties with former adversaries, bolstering global partnerships, and asserting dominance in the Middle East. The move aims to counterbalance Iran's influence and secure strategic interests. Riyadh's recalibration of relationships with rival states such as Turkey and Qatar signals a new era of pragmatism in Saudi foreign policy. This shift may also affect regional dynamics and the balance of power in key flashpoints like Yemen and Lebanon.
