The main cause of some of these problematic dynamics is the rivalry between two powers: Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Oriente Próximo es un espacio geoestratégico marcado en la actualidad por diversos conflictos y crisis, que condicionan las relaciones entre los actores estatales y no estatales involucrados, así como el establecimiento de estrategias y alianzas. En el trasfondo de algunas de estas complejas dinámicas está la rivalidad entre dos potencias: Irán y Arabia Saudí. Los dos Estados persiguen el objetivo de erigirse como los únicos referentes políticos y religiosos de la zona. El antagonismo de sus intereses genera un clima de elevada tensión y enemistad, que se traduce en una forma de enfrentamiento indirecto: Guerra Proxy. Esta repercute en varios escenarios de la región, y trae como consecuencia mayor inestabilidad e inseguridad. O Oriente Médio é um espaço geoestratégico atualmente marcado por diversos conflitos e crises, que condicionam as relações entre os atores estatais e não estatais envolvidos, bem como o estabelecimento de estratégias e alianças. No pano de fundo de algumas dessas dinâmicas complexas está a rivalidade hegemônica entre duas potências: Irã e Arábia Saudita. Os dois estados perseguem o objetivo de se estabelecerem como os únicos referentes políticos e religiosos na área. O antagonismo de seus interesses gera um clima de alta tensão e inimizade que se traduz em uma forma de confronto indireto, Guerra Proxy, que atinge diversos cenários ambientais, resultando em maior instabilidade e insegurança em toda a região.
