fictional theory :)
Result: oil prices, shipping rates, insurance, provisions, and maritime security costs surge.
In the end, “A” becomes the world’s biggest energy exporter and toll booth operator.
Theory:
The Gulf states (not Iran) played their cards wrong by presenting themselves as the future too early. That worried rival powers, especially since their economies rely heavily on natural resources.
Now the former “security guards” are major oil exporters too. How do they weaken competition? Create chaos, keep rivals unstable, and stop their rise.
In theory, “A” removes its biggest competitor, blocks opposing ideologies, and dismantles regional power centers.
Big loser: EU fragments toward Russia after being outplayed by India. But India then fractures into smaller states based on ideology.
Pakistan fragments- land influenced by Afghanistan, Iran, and India-> a smaller military zone remains. Gulf royals exiled.
