The Saudi-Iranian rivalry has been sectarian, ethnic, ideological, and geopolitical in nature. Iran and Saudi Arabia have remained stubbornly opposed to how regional conflicts should be solved and how global energy markets should be managed.

Today the entire Middle East region, and parts of Central and Southwest Asia, are in a sense hostage to this grand Arab-Persian rivalry. Now with the implementation of the Iran Nuclear Deal, the ever intense dynamics between Iran and Saudi Arabia will enter a whole new phase. This new phase could be either based on more violent proxy wars in the region, or could usher in downward pressure in the intensity of their rivalry.
