The Middle Eastern Proxy War

The Middle East has gained a globally notorious reputation for the decades of conflict that have plagued the region. Currently, the region has four failed states, three of which are currently battling civil wars. Furthermore, countless terrorist organizations and armed militias are seizing power in the vacuum left by ineffective and powerless governments. To the naked eye, it seems as if the region will always be bound for violence, insurgency, and conflagration.

At the heart of every conflict, stands two omnipresent adversaries: Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
