Peace remains elusive with tensions in the Middle East showing no signs of de-escalation. Over the past weekend, the US military has launched dozens of airstrikes on targets in Iraq, Syria and Yemen. We speak to Dr. Asif Shuja, Director of GeoPo Consult, a geopolitics management consultancy based in Dubai for his outlook on the ongoing tensions in the region.
