Abstract

This study delves into the intricate dynamics of Iran-Saudi relations within the Persian Gulf region, focusing on the interplay of perception and power in shaping their interactions. Through a comprehensive analysis of historical, geopolitical, and ideological factors, the research explores how Iran and Saudi Arabia perceive each other's intentions and capabilities, and how these perceptions influence their strategic calculations and foreign policy choices. Drawing on a multidisciplinary approach, the study examines the role of regional dynamics, security dilemmas, and power struggles in shaping the complex relationship between the two regional powers. By unraveling the layers of perception and power, the study offers valuable insights into the dynamics of Iran-Saudi relations and their implications for regional stability and security in the Persian Gulf.
