Interested in the cauldron called West Asia? See this. Lt Gen Ata Hanain (R) and I covered a wide canvas in this episode. Iran and Israel, once good friends, are now at war with each other with no solution. The other rivalry is between Shia Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia. These rivalries constitute a set of shifting redlines in the ideological, indirect, non contact, shadow wars of West Asia. This has profound global effect as these rivalries sit astride some of the most important choke points of global trade flows. Most importantly these shifting redlines will endure and keep all of us at risk and on tenterhooks.
