Saudi Arabia’s New Bargaining Chip

CONFLICTED

An ex-Al Qaeda jihadi turned MI6 spy and a former monk turned filmmaker, have been embedded at the heart of conflicts in the Middle East. Together Aimen Dean and Thomas Small unpack the realities of war, fundamentalism and their global implications through first-hand experience.

The Middle East is shifting again, and fast. In this wide-ranging overview, Aimen and Thomas break down the hidden forces reshaping the geopolitical chessboard as 2025 draws to a close.

In this episode, Aimen and Thomas uncover:

The power of Saudi Arabia’s discovery of vast rare-earth reserves

The U.S.–Saudi grand bargain

Why the F-35 sale to Saudi Arabia rattled Israel and what it means for the future of the Abraham Accords

Iran’s deepening water crisis and Gulf states’ preparations for instability

The simmering tensions between India and Pakistan

Afghanistan’s compounded crises
