Reasons are highlighted the reasons that prompted Saudi Arabia to force its allies in the bloc to break off diplomatic relations with Qatar, the arms race in the Arabian Peninsula, and possible scenarios in the near future. The role of the United States in the context of the Qatar crisis is analyzed. It is established that the United States has an ambitious position, since, against the backdrop of demonstrating support for its own allies in the fight against terrorism, the United States does not want to spoil relations with Qatar because of the presence of a military base there. It is established that the only reason for the Qatar's blockade is its desire for independence, independence from Riyadh. The establishment of a blockade against Qatar is a strategic mistake by its initiators, because it has launched a domino effect, causing newer crises in the Arab states. It is argued that if full reconciliation is finally achieved, this conflict will still irreversibly change the format of interaction in the region.
This article considers the emergence of a multi-party system after the US invasion and the fall of the Saddam Hussein regime. The relevance of the topic is determined by the fact that after the collapse of the Iraqi government, as the plans and goals of the United States in Iraq were, the old religious and ethnic parties were recreated with other values and methods that differ from the essence and ideology on which they were initially based. The emergence of hundreds of formations calling themselves political parties was a natural consequence of the absolute absence of any form of power and the domination of absolute chaos. The author addresses the problems of welcoming foreign occupation and considering the fall of the state as the liberation of the country. The author also notes the lack of political experience and ideology or deviation from the way for achieving personal ambitions through loyalty to external forces or attempts to achieve regional interests by fragmenting the Iraqi society. The list of political parties and forces includes more than 330 parties, which plunged the country into chaos of contradictions, even though the Iraqi Constitution prohibits the formation of parties on an ethnic and religious basis. It is alleged that the political parties involved in the political process in Iraq were largely formed overseas by diverse people, united by two important factors: their hatred and hostility to Saddam Hussein and their desire to gain power and wealth. As this hatred proved to be stronger than any principles and nationalist ideologies, it was easy for foreign parties to engage them to help achieve the goals of two opposing forces: the United States and Iran.In fact, the multi-party approach also satisfied many parties as it ensured their survival and the achievement of political principles based on sectarianism and racism.Keywords: political parties, Iraq, ideological differences, multi-party system, religious parties, ethnic parties, secular parties, party pluralism, de-Baathification, post-Saddam period, secularism, Dawa party. ; В статті розглянуто процес виникнення багатопартійності на тлі вторгнення США і падіння режиму Саддама Хусейна. Порушено проблеми схвального ставлення окремих груп до іноземної окупації та сприйняття руйнації держави в якості звільнення країни. Автор також відзначає відсутність політичного досвіду та ідеології або відхилення від шляху для досягнення особистих амбіцій через лояльність до зовнішніх сил або спроби досягти своїх регіональних інтересів шляхом фрагментації іракського суспільства. Політичні сили, які нараховують більше 330 партій, загнали країну до хаосу протиріч в умовах того, що конституція Іраку забороняє формувати партії на етнічній і релігійній основі.Ключові слова: Ірак, ідеологічні відмінності, багатопартійність, релігійні партії, етнічні партії, світські партії, партійний плюралізм, де-баасифікація, постсаддамівський період, секуляризм, партія Дава.

The problem of conflict in Yemen as an element of the proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran is considered. As a result of factors of a different nature, the usual religious confrontation between the two great faiths of Islam, has turned into a regional conflict, in which the interests of the plurality of states-leaders are mixed. The chronology of the events of the emergence of the confessional internal conflict into the regional is given. The interest and secret role played in the conflict between Saudi Arabia, the United States, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, and Israel have been analyzed. It is noted that the intervention of the coalition of states led by Saudi Arabia in the Yemen conflict is a manifestation of ambitions regarding the establishment of the regional leadership of the latter. It has been established that Yemen today has become a platform for expanding influence not only for Iran and Saudi Arabia, but for other advanced states at the expense of important shipping routes. It is noted that the coast of Yemen is a strategically advantageous area, where the exit from the Gulf of Aden is further in the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. This passage flows through the "gates of tears" (Bab al-Mandebi Strait), and Iran is interested in having an outpost in such an important sea corridor. It was found that the main consequence of the coalition's intervention was to strengthen the "world-recognized" government of Yemen. It is alleged that the escalation of the conflict in Yemen may be related to the so-called "New Middle East" project - the arc of instability in the designated region. An attempt was made to study the connection between events and players in the region using the game theory. Key words: proxy war, conflict, Middle East, geopolitical goals, political Islam, Islamic denominations, Cold War. ; Розглянуто проблему конфлікту в Ємені, як елемента проксі-війни між Саудівською Аравією та Іраном.
