Redefining Our Role Amid Middle East Shifts
Currently, the global system is witnessing an escalation of tensions and military conflicts, especially in the Middle East, which is torn apart by animosity and regional competition. This increases the likelihood of the region turning into a battleground for major wars between states, ethnic groups, and religious factions. Geopolitical shifts are becoming more evident, such as the international system's declining capacity to absorb changes in power balances, the rising levels of hostility, and major powers' readiness to use force—particularly among the United States, Iran, Russia, and Ukraine. With the rise of non-governmental forces like terrorist organizations and the evolving concept of threats into hidden networks, many experts—including George W. Bush and Henry Kissinger—are contemplating that the existing system is outdated and that there is a need to rethink policies and alliances. Questions have been raised regarding the necessity of redefining Oman’s national interests, security strategies, and political approaches in light of rapid global threats and changes, emphasizing the importance of developing political and security principles capable of addressing new challenges to maintain stability and national security.
