The research examines the cultural conflicts between Saudi Arabia and Iran in the Gulf. Such conflicts result from historical, religious, and ideological differences. Conflict is rooted in sectarian cleavages, political differences, and contrasting political systems. Research posits that tensions heightened following the Iranian Revolution of 1979 and that this impacted regional conflicts, resulting in proxy wars in Yemen, Syria, and Iraq. The research employed a qualitative method, encompassing a literature review and primary sources like UN and ICJ declarations. Saudi Arabia and Iran should engage in diplomatic negotiations to resolve disputes peacefully, resolve humanitarian crises, diversify their economies, and employ international mediation to establish confidence. They ought to approach international organizations for collaboration and resolve tensions in the Middle East through openness and collaborative enterprises.
