A framework for multidimensional relations between the Russian Federation and the Persian Gulf countries

The Russian Federation, as one of the great powers of the present era, has shown in various situations that it considers active presence in the strategic regions of the world, especially the Persian Gulf and its border countries, as a vital matter for itself. The demands of the Russian Federation towards the Persian Gulf region are based on three principles: "ensuring the security of the countries south of Russia, attracting regional allies and countering the influence of the United States of America in the region". The peripheral countries of the Persian Gulf have never been able to create a comprehensive regional organization that includes all the countries around the Persian Gulf and can coordinate the interaction of these countries with the great powers and countries outside this region. On the other hand, some countries in the region, such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia, know that they can achieve their goals in various economic, political, military and security fields only under the shadow of foreign support. If a great power wants to keep up with other powers in international competition, it must have a strong position in the geopolitical regions of the world; The Persian Gulf, as a unique region in the field of energy trade and security in Southwest Asia, has long been the arena of confrontation between great powers and superpowers; In the current situation, despite the fact that the United States of America has the largest and most tangible presence in this region, Russia has also used every opportunity in recent decades to revive its influence in this region.
