Outside interventions complicated the landscape from "summary" of A Rage for Order by Robert F. Worth
The situation in the Middle East was already complex and fraught with tension when various outside interventions began to further complicate the landscape. These interventions came from a variety of actors, including Western powers, regional powers, and non-state actors, all with their own agendas and interests. The involvement of Western powers, such as the United States and European countries, added another layer of complexity to an already volatile region. Their interventions often reflected their own geopolitical considerations rather than the needs and desires of the people in the region. This led to resentment and backlash from local populations, who felt that their voices were being ignored in favor of outside interests. Regional powers, such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Turkey, also played a role in complicating the landscape. These countries often pursued their own agendas in neighboring countries, fueling conflicts and exacerbating tensions. Their interventions further muddied the waters and made it difficult to find peaceful solutions to the region's myriad problems. Non-state actors, such as terrorist groups like ISIS, also had a significant impact on the region. Their brutal tactics and extremist ideology created chaos and instability, making it even harder to achieve stability and security in the region. Their presence further complicated efforts to find lasting solutions to the region's problems.- The various outside interventions in the Middle East served to make an already complex and challenging landscape even more difficult to navigate. The competing interests and agendas of different actors only served to further entrench existing conflicts and prevent meaningful progress towards peace and stability in the region.
