The Fourth Gulf War (3rd October 2025 – 29 June 2029), also commonly known as the Great Gulf War, was a war waged in the Gulf and Caucasian regions between two informal military alliances, commonly referred to as the Allies and Peninsular Shield.
The war began after a Iraqi-Iranian backed Shia uprising occurred in Qatif, Saudi Arabia. The Saudis responded by invading Iraq on the 16th of October as retaliation for their sponsorship of the rebels.
On the 17th October the Axis of Resistance was formed between Iraq, Iran and Syria to combat Saudi aggression. The war would quickly escalate as the Saudi-Iranian proxy conflict turned into conventional war.
The war is also known under other names such as the Middle Eastern War, Arabian Peninsular War, and rather confusingly the Third Gulf War (Given the inconsistency in naming of the previous Gulf Wars).
