Middle East Energy War: I2U2 vs. Sunni Coalition Clash

The Middle East's energy politics is reshaping. As Iran's attacks target the U.S. and Israel, India and the UAE join forces in the I2U2 bloc, while Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, and Pakistan form a Sunni coalition to counter Iran. The competition between these two blocs, driven by energy security and strategic interests, could reshape the region's power dynamics. Turkey's push for greater independence at NATO's summit signals a new 21st-century Ottoman ambition. Control over energy resources is at the heart of this geopolitical struggle, threatening regional stability and U.S. influence. Markets must monitor these developments closely.
