description   The Middle East is a geostrategic spot marked by various conflicts and crises nowadays, which determine the relationship between state actors and non-state actors involved in the area, as well as the establishment of strategies and alliances among them. The main cause of some of these problematic dynamics is the rivalry between two powers: Iran and Saudi Arabia. These states seek the essential goal of standing up themselves as the only political and religious leader in the local scenario. The antagonism of their interests awakens in a climate of high tension and enmity that translates into a form of indirect confrontation, proxy war, which has repercussions in their surroundings, coming up greater instability and insecurity throughout the region.

Oriente Próximo es un espacio geoestratégico marcado en la actualidad por diversos conflictos y crisis, que condicionan las relaciones entre los actores estatales y no estatales involucrados, así como el establecimiento de estrategias y alianzas. En el trasfondo de algunas de estas complejas dinámicas está la rivalidad entre dos potencias: Irán y Arabia Saudí. Los dos Estados persiguen el objetivo de erigirse como los únicos referentes políticos y religiosos de la zona. El antagonismo de sus intereses genera un clima de elevada tensión y enemistad, que se traduce en una forma de enfrentamiento indirecto: Guerra Proxy. Esta repercute en varios escenarios de la región, y trae como consecuencia mayor inestabilidad e inseguridad. O Oriente Médio é um espaço geoestratégico atualmente marcado por diversos conflitos e crises, que condicionam as relações entre os atores estatais e não estatais envolvidos, bem como o estabelecimento de estratégias e alianças. No pano de fundo de algumas dessas dinâmicas complexas está a rivalidade hegemônica entre duas potências: Irã e Arábia Saudita. Os dois estados perseguem o objetivo de se estabelecerem como os únicos referentes políticos e religiosos na área. O antagonismo de seus interesses gera um clima de alta tensão e inimizade que se traduz em uma forma de confronto indireto, Guerra Proxy, que atinge diversos cenários ambientais, resultando em maior instabilidade e insegurança em toda a região.
