Armageddon in the Middle East
Michael Lüders
The Middle East is unable to find peace. While the fighting continues, especially in Syria, the next conflict is already beginning to emerge. President Trump and his allies are targeting Iran and the power struggle between Riyadh and Tehran is a major factor as well. Michael Lüders describes the roots of this conflict that stretch back to the 18th century and explains why the West unilaterally takes sides.
The Iran Nuclear deal was signed under Obama in 2015. However, despite the fact that Tehran has kept all its obligations, conflict is breaking out again. Is Iran really a “rogue state”? Could it be that the close economic links between the US and Saudi Arabia, the so-called Saudi Connection, are playing an important role? Written in Lüders’ engaging and clear style, this book describes where the new lines of conflict have been drawn and why the region is facing the very real threat of a new thirty years’ war.
