How the war on Iran changed the Gulf security order | Global Faultlines podcast
This podcast episode explores how the recent war on Iran has fundamentally altered the security landscape of the Persian Gulf. It examines the shifting dynamics between Gulf monarchies, their historical ties to Iran, and the evolving role of U.S. security architecture in the region.
Why it matters
Understanding the post-war security order in the Persian Gulf is critical for global energy markets and international geopolitical stability.
The war on Iran may be over, but its consequences are only beginning to reshape the Persian Gulf.

The conflict has put that strategy to its biggest test yet.
