The article focuses on the rivalry between the Saudi-Egyptian-led movements and the Syrian-Iranian-led movements in the Middle East region. It notes the growth of Syria and Iran as they have adopted, supported, and sponsored their regional militant groups such as the Shiites Hizbullah and the Palestinian Hamas to raise or lower hostility to the West over the decreasing Saudi-Arabia and Egypt. The rivalry got worse when a war erupted in Yemen wherein Houthi rebels have been supported by Iran.
