What is the source of the constant conflict in the Middle East?
This is a simplification, but is hard to ignore reading basic history. To be clear the ‘Middle East’ is a geological term, referring to the vast oil deposits near Saudi Arabia/Iraq/UAE/Iran, not really a geopolitical term. Given the importance of oil, its easy to understand why the term is used vaguely, but shouldn’t be confused. Iran and Afghanistan have a fundamentally genetically/linguistic/religious difference with other countries of the ‘Middle East’ and so shouldn’t be grouped in, but often are, probably because they are superficially ‘brown skinned muslems in that general area’ which is discriminatory and ignorant but probably the general belief in Western Media. Learn about the Ottoman Empire, The Book of Signs and Persia/Iran, get enlightened!
