YouTube Description

Four of the six new BRICS countries - Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE - are in the Middle East.

How will Washington react now and what does it mean for the “geostrategic control” that they’ve spent decades, and multiple wars, trying to secure?
To discuss this and other regional developments, Rania Khalek was joined by Giorgio Cafiero, the CEO of Gulf State Analytics, a Washington, DC-based geopolitical risk consultancy.
