Ormuz, Houthi, Riyadh. The Middle East without a map

Płomiński assesses the Middle East situation as deteriorating, with regional tensions escalating and no clear path to de-escalation. The U.S. is sending additional naval forces amid fears of broader conflict involving Iran and its allies. Saudi Arabia is tightening defense ties with Turkey and Pakistan, while Egypt seeks agreements with neighboring countries. The ongoing instability raises questions about the effectiveness of U.S. alliances and military strategies in the region. Płomiński highlights the need for new economic corridors and cooperation to replace conflict-driven policies, warning that the absence of a clear strategy could lead to further chaos.
