Conflict in the Middle East is a complex phenomenon involving history, ethnicity, religion and geopolitics. One of the main causes of conflict is fighting between ethnic and religious groups, especially between Sunni and Shia Muslims. These tensions are creating deep divisions, with many countries such as Iraq, Syria and Yemen becoming battlegrounds. West Asia is also rich in natural resources, especially oil and gas, which adds complexity to the dispute. Countries such as Saudi Arabia and Iran have taken on the role of regional powers competing for dominance, exploiting other countries’ internal conflicts to expand their influence. For example, in the Syrian conflict, Iran supported Bashar al-Assad’s regime, while Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states provided support to the rebels. Foreign intervention also influences conflict dynamics. The United States, Russia and other Western countries often get involved to protect their strategic interests. US armed forces played a role in overthrowing Saddam Hussein in Iraq in 2003, which sparked chaos and the birth of various extremist groups, including ISIS. This shows how intervention can make things worse. The conflict in Yemen, which began in 2014, is an example of a prolonged cycle of conflict. Fighting between the internationally recognized government and Iran-backed Houthi rebels has had catastrophic humanitarian consequences. Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost, and millions of people were forced to flee. This war shows the direct impact of conflict that is not only limited to military clashes, but also affects the daily lives of civilians. Social and economic shifts are also significant impacts of conflict. Countries caught in chaos are experiencing economic crises, with destroyed infrastructure and high levels of social instability. People are often the main victims, with a drastic reduction in quality of life. The provision of basic services such as education and health is hampered, creating a generation of young people who have lost hope. International reactions to Middle East conflicts tend to be mixed. Some countries encourage diplomacy for a peaceful resolution, while others engage in military support. Peace processes are often hampered by each country’s national interests, making conflict resolution increasingly difficult to achieve. The international community, including organizations such as the UN, is trying to overcome the humanitarian crisis resulting from this conflict. However, a lack of global consensus and solidarity often undermines these efforts. Humanitarian action is often considered a political tool by some countries, confusing good intentions with strategic interests. As conflict continues, the future of the Middle East remains uncertain. The process of reconciliation and rebuilding destroyed infrastructure requires time and commitment from all parties. Understanding the roots of the problem, including ethnic and religious aspects, as well as recognition of geopolitical interests, is critical to achieving a long-term solution. Ultimately, the sustainability of the envisioned peace will depend on the willingness of the superpowers to collaborate in resolving this problem constructively.
