Where is the Region Heading?

There are two major wars awaiting the Middle East. The first will be the Northern War where the Israeli and Iranian armies will fight it out on Syrian soil and the second will be Iran’s attempt to conquer the MENA region. Israel’s Arab allies intend to take Assad’s side in the Northern War. It is not something they are betting on but that is what domestic public opinion will expect them to do. Israel’s Arab allies have nothing to gain from being too close to Israel in this particular time and thus keep their distance and hence are doing everything possible to ensure that they won’t be drawn into the Northern War, primarily through detente with Iran. 

The Northern War will break Free Kurdistan from international isolation and provide access to the sea through future PYD-controlled Syria. At the same there will be territorial continuity from Eilat to the Iranian border in Free Kurdistan. Contrary to Iran’s expectations that the Northern War will leave Israel vanquished will Israel emerge as far stronger than before the war.

The Americans are making fools of themselves by once more engaging in indirect negotiations with Iran with no prospects of succeeding whatsoever considering the mullahs’ Mahdist timeline which is shrinking due to continual progress in development of batteries for electric vehicles.

Once the Northern War is over will we see the region once more organized in two familiar camps, a truncated Iranian Axis and an enlarged Israeli-Arab Axis, with increasing regional integration within the latter, both in economics and defense in the MENA region.
