Has America and Israel's war with Iran marked the beginning of the end of the post-1991 American order in the Middle East?
For more than three decades after the Gulf War, the United States appeared to guarantee regional security, protect global energy routes and shape the outcome of major conflicts. The 2026 war with Iran has prompted renewed debate over whether that era has come to an end.
The conflict raises fundamental questions about who really emerged as the winners and losers, whether Israel's long-standing strategy of forward defence has reached its limits, why the Strait of Hormuz may now represent a strategic weapon more powerful than nuclear deterrence, and whether perpetual war has become the defining feature of the region's security order.
Bianca Nobilo is joined by Dr Andreas Krieg, author and Fellow at the Institute of Middle Eastern Studies, to give an in-depth analysis of the forces reshaping the Middle East and the global balance of power.
