President Donald Trump’s refusal to intervene militarily despite Saudi appeals highlights Washington’s declining influence and its apparent inability to protect its Gulf allies. Attacks on critical oil infrastructure and disruptions to Red Sea shipping have further weakened Saudi Arabia’s economic position while strengthening Iran’s regional dominance. Ron Unz argues that these developments could fundamentally reshape Middle Eastern geopolitics, potentially forcing Saudi Arabia to reconcile with Iran and the Houthis. Beyond regional security, the crisis threatens the petrodollar system, through which Gulf oil revenues have historically supported American financial power. The possible collapse of this eighty-year partnership could accelerate the erosion of American economic and military dominance, with profound consequences for global energy markets and the international financial system.
