“…Israeli policymakers, decision makers, and experts also think that Iran's nuclear program will change the regional balance of power, reducing the ability of the United States to influence the people and politics of the region and moving Iran's neighbors into its sphere of influence (Figure ). Moreover, Israeli strategic experts believe that Iran's nuclear weapons program will influence other West Asian states to do the same, leading to a destabilizing, multipolar, nuclearized regional security environment (Sadr, , pp. 58–72).…”

As a result of its geostrategic, geopolitical, and geocultural position, Iran has a special influence on regional politics. Iran's nuclear program can tilt the balance of power in West Asia in its own favor, but the competing states from the region are expected to oppose such a program. Iran's choice of nonconventional weapons would be extremely likely to influence neighboring countries to start their own nuclear weapons programs to maintain the balance of power in the West Asian region. This article contends that the Iranian nuclear issue should be dealt with immediately. It concludes that the issue of Iran's nuclear ambitions must be properly resolved because it can lead to a new round of regional and global nuclear proliferation.

“…The same structure is pushing KSA and Israel to move closer to each other. In this equation, the role of Russia and China has been very critical as they directly or indirectly enabled Iran to consolidate its power in the region, threatening thereby the US, Saudi Arabian and Israeli interests (Sadr, 2005). Russia's ability to successfully hold the Syrian regime in place, along with the US decision to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action known as the Iran nuclear deal, has created space for Iran to assert influence in the region.…”

The study explores the transformation in great power politics and factors affecting the dynamics of the Middle Eastern political landscape, such as the relationships between ideological arch-rivals of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and Israel. The closing up of the relationship between KSA and Israel is a historic transformation, holding immense potential embodying change in the strategic landscape of the Middle East. The article argues that the changing dynamics of global power politics has polarised the political dynamics of the Middle Eastern region along opposite poles. The US, China and Russian involvement in the Middle Eastern region have pushed the ideological arch-rival of KSA to the US and Israel, pushing Iran to tilt towards Russia and China in the region. Therefore, the significance of the study lies in the changing nature of international structure and the way this shift has impacted the inter-dynamics of Saudi-Israeli cooperation in the Middle East.
