This 10 minute video from Vox explores the bitter rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran – both of whom have played a key role in the various civil wars and other conflicts in the middle east region. The use of so-called “proxy warfare” by Saudi Arabia and Iran is explained, as is the crucial historical context such as the Iranian Revolution in 1979.
