The Russian Federation, as one of the contemporary great powers, has consistently demonstrated through various geopolitical contexts that it considers active presence in strategically vital regions particularly the Persian Gulf and its littoral states a national imperative. Moscow's strategic objectives toward the Persian Gulf region are fundamentally structured around three core principles: (1) ensuring the security of Russia's southern bordering states, (2) cultivating regional alliances, and (3) countering United States influence in the region. The Gulf littoral states have historically failed to establish a comprehensive regional institution encompassing all coastal nations while simultaneously coordinating their interactions with external powers and extra-regional actors. Certain regional states - notably the UAE and Saudi Arabia - recognize that their multidimensional economic, political, military, and security objectives can only be realized through external patronage. For a great power to remain competitive in international rivalries, it must secure entrenched positions within critical geopolitical spheres. The Persian Gulf, as the epicenter of global energy commerce and a linchpin of Southwest Asian security architecture, has perennially served as an arena for great power and superpower contention. Despite the United States maintaining the most substantial and tangible regional presence, Russia has systematically leveraged every strategic opportunity in recent decades to reassert its influence in this critical theater.
