How two feuding countries are tearing apart the Middle East.
Help us make more ambitious videos by joining the Vox Video Lab: bit.ly/video-lab
The Saudis and Iranians have never actually declared war on each other. Instead, they fight indirectly by supporting opposing sides in other countries and inciting conflicts. This is known as proxy warfare.
And it’s had a devastating effect on the region. Countries, especially poor ones, can’t function if there are larger countries pulling strings within their borders.
And that’s exactly what's happening in the Middle East. The Saudi-Iranian rivalry has become a fight over influence, and the whole region is a battlefield.

@@jackkessler9876 Well there's no racism there. Britain, France and Germany were the ones who supported racism and claimed themselves to be superior to everybody else. The atrocities committed by these nations in the past exceed the worst form of cruelty human mind can imagine. Especially Germany and Britain.

@Rising Solutions You can say 'an arab country' or a' middle east' , but dont say an islamic country. Islam has nothing to do with them. All the corruptions happening around the world is under the name of Islam . I hope people can judge the Muslims but not their relgion, cuz it has nothing to do with the politics. They're just using Islam as a weapon of their bad deeds . I bet they don't even follow the Islamic rules,they just use the religion as an agenda. I hate those politicians. They're sick for power and wealth, and they dont even care about islam and what it implies .

This video dramatically underplays the conflict between Sunni and Shia, its importance in regional disputes, and the violence entangled in that conflict. It also largely ignores the brutal and authoritarian nature of the governments that are Saudi Arabia and Iran, as well as many of the other countries in the region, and how this played a role in the power politics of the middle east. Overall if you knew nothing about the middle east and then watched this video, you would walk away understanding the region less.

True. Moreover, the US didn't do this at first. Later when they saw that Iran was winning the war against Iraq (thanks to some genius tactics), the US (and SA) both supported Iraq and Saddam. Fastforward a couple years later and George Bush is declaring war on the Axis of Evil.

one important thing that wasn't mentionned here is that early in the 20th century when the saudi were at tribal war, iran had a constitutional revolution (before oil was found) and so it has a history of secualirsm and social progress attempts. That's why the shah was not able to have the same kind of power over the population. Also the shah was already "king" in 1942 and just gained full control in 1953.

its not only the oil. since the us abandoned the gold standard for the dollar, the value of the dollar is only bound to how much value market participants assign to it. one of the important market participants are oil companies. you could only buy oil with the us dollar, thus securing its value. as far as i know oil companies in the middle east wanted to change that, and make it possible to buy oil with other currencies as well like, threatening the US. because the dollar has no intrinsic value, it is more fragile than people believe it to be - read that in some book

Only 1 error about this video I’d like to point out. Iran did actually favor the US overthrowing Saddam. In fact, after September 11, Iran offered the US intelligence on key military Taliban targets which the US reluctantly accepted but never formally acknowledged. Iran was hoping to restore diplomatic ties with the US again but immediately after Afghanistan the US labeled Iran one of the 3 axis of evil. Despite the US backstabbing, Iran again offered intelligence to the US for the Iraq war. This time the US rejected. The moderates in Iran were humiliated for trying to restore diplomacy with the US and hardliners went on a very aggressive strategy to influence Iraqi Shias to gain power. Since then, Iran has not showed any interest in diplomacy. Personally, I think that’s what US wants. Keeping Iran an enemy gives the US justification to have a permanent military presence in the region.

Another conflict not mentioned that could be more important then Iran-soudi conflict Is the conflict between Saudi Arabia and Islamist radical political movement such as "the Muslim brotherhood" The Muslim brotherhood now controls Turkey .. Tunisia .. one of the two governments of Libya .. they controlled Egypt for one year before the militery removed them .. they control large part of the Syrian rebels .. and they controlled Sudan until the latest revolution .. Frankly for Saudi Arabia their conflict with Sunni religious political movement is more of a priority then their conflict with iran ..

Not really anything new, People forget that all these nations are Empires they invade but the US is putting democracy as a label of invasion. America wasn’t the first to do it, Athens did it and many other countries did it for beliefs. If America hadn’t got involved in the Middle East then many of the oil we use today wouldn’t have been available. But also a influx of middle eastern and terroir attacks wouldn’t have happened if America just didn’t destroy the Middle East,
