Results of 2025 in the Middle East and North Africa and Russian diplomacy in the region
Abstract
The article is devoted to the main events in the Middle East and North Africa, which led to serious changes in this region. In fact, the balance of power has completely changed, and in favor of the United States and Israel. D. Trump largely determines the current architecture of the Middle East, the Persian Gulf and North Africa. Arab countries are forced not only to listen to his opinion, but also to do a lot about Washington. At the same time, Russia and its role have become less visible, as has the EU. By all indications, this trend will continue in 2026. There will be new conflicts and wars in the region, the current ones will continue, and the United States will more often resort to pressure and the use of military force to ensure its interests.
