Summary/Abstract: The current frictions in the Middle East are a “microcosm” of power politics, closeto the vision of Thomas Hobbes and his bellum omnium contra omnes. This visionreflects very well the specifics of the Middle East, but also a security perception ofthe Islamic Republic of Iran, whose decision-makers invariably believe that almostthe entire region, and even a large part of the world, conspire against their state.From the Iranian perspective, Tehran is involved in a war of all against one – theIslamic Republic.The current frictions in the Middle East are a “microcosm” of power politics, closeto the vision of Thomas Hobbes and his bellum omnium contra omnes.
