Analysis of the Middle East's geopolitical position in the region
Iran reaches nuclear capabilities
For decades Israel’s leaders attempted to thwart the Iranian regime's quest to develop nuclear weapons. The problem was that most of the world didn’t join Israel’s concerns and chose not to deter Iran with harsh penalties. Consequently, over the past few years Iran successfully produced highly enriched Uranium, and this past December, successfully produces enriched Uranium for a nuclear bomb. The estimate is that within six months Iran will have a working crude nuclear weapon. What will the next six months bring us, and what will the region look like in six months if Iran finally reaches its desired nuclear weapons?

IsraelIL conducted a thorough investigation into the failure, and has begun its work on a second mission to reach the moon! So what to expect this time around?
“We asked Iran for it back; We will see how they respond” Barak Obama
Israel dispatches its most advanced warplanes and uses multiple layers of technologies and anti-aircraft missiles against this emerging threat, yet there is no proper response. Manless aircraft (drones) have become one of the biggest dangers to many countries in the Middle East, including Israel. Moreover, they are one of the drivers of the Abraham accords and the warming relationship between Israel and the Suni Muslim countries in the Middle East.
Why is the American Military withdrawing from the Middle East?
The Middle East (or MENA) was probably one of the most significant regions in the second half of the 20th Century, starting from World War 1 when the empires started using oil guzzling weapons and needed the Middle Eastern Oil, and into the 21st century. The Middle is a significant energy producer globally, so the USA has interests in the Middle East. Until around 2016, the USA had three main reasons to be in the Middle East.
