The Growing Unrests in the Middle East

The existing situation in the Middle East posed a grave future for the future. The situation is spiraling out of control. The growing threat of ISIS , mixed with the Saudi and its allied bombing campaign on Houthi target in Yemen, the Iranian nuclear deal with the west , altogether complicated the situation in the Middle East.

Till two year back, Iraq was the crisis center in the Middle East, but now it spreads to Yemen, Egypt, Syria, and Saudi Arabia now is reaching the door steps of Lebanon. Felt by threat around their door steps, the Saudis, the desperately looking for shopping for nuclear weapons.

Even If the ISIS is defeated, the ground situation in the region will not change as it seems, even there are chances for regime changes may occur in the Middle East in the near future. The rise of ISIS has deeply divided the population in the region on sectarian basis. The recent bombing incidents in the Saudi cities of Qatif and Dammam are only beginnings.

The Saudi bombing campaign is going on without an end in sight; already the airstrikes destroyed a lot of Yemeni property and life which in turn is causing anti-Saudi sentiments among common Yemeni citizens. If the sanctions are lifted from Iran following a nuclear deal, then Iran will be free to aid the Houthi rebels in Yemen which will surely endanger the Suadi security at home either from a possible Houthi attack on Saudi Arabia, or the Shia minorities in Saudi Arabia take revenge attack or rebellion in Saudi Arabia with the help of Iran or Houthis in Yemen.

Already Saudi Arabia has considerable number of Sunni dissidents in Saudi Arabia who are opposed to the current Saudi royals.
