The US is no longer is capable of toppling the head of state of
Syria, and Turkey and Saudi Arabia played crucial role to topple Mr.
Bashar Al - Assad as head of state of Syria. It is very obvious that he
was able to maintain power because Russia provided military aid to Mr.
Al - Assad to confront the insurgent groups. In addition, the Islamic
Republic of Iran provided military aid to the regime in order to keep
the regime intact in place. If the regime in Iran would not provide
military aid to Mr. Al - Assad, it was a good possibility for the US to
do regime change in Iran too. Now, the US no longer can ensue the policy
of the regime change in the Middle East.
The
trouble comes here that Turkey as member of NATO aided insurgent groups
in Syria and Iraq. Moreover, Saudi Arabia too aided the insurgent
groups to topple the head of state in Syria and Iraq. The above nations
were instrumental for regime change policy in the Middle East. However,
they failed to topple the Islamic Republic of Iran. In fact, the regime
in Iran has gained more power in the region, and galvanized solidarity
among Shia Muslims in the region. Now, the US really has no power in the
region. The Saudi Arabia remains vulnerable in the region since Iran
excommunicated with Saudi over pilgrim issue. The regime in Saudi would
face serious economic consequences for its role in the region for aiding
the US for doing regime change in the Middle East. Furthermore, Turkey
too would face serious economic consequences from the Middle East
nations.
There is also matter of Israel
that what it will happen to it. Israel would face serious military
consequences by its adversaries, and the US will play major role in the
region, but not in a sense of regime change.
All in all, the
situation in the Middle East has become complicated, and no longer
realpolitik is the common currency, but really diplomacy will become a
common currency in the Middle East.
