The Cold War in the Middle East was very complex. On the one hand, there was Israel, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the Emirates on the side of the US. On the other hand, there was Syria and Afghanistan as part of the Soviet blocks. This was essential in order for the Cold War to perservere: each side had its own allies.

The major battlegrounds of the Cold War were primarily proxy wars fought between the United States and the Soviet Union. These included the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and wars in Afghanistan and Central America. Additionally, the superpowers engaged in conflicts through alliances and influence in regions such as Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union supported various countries in the Middle East based on their own strategic interests, often fueling regional conflicts. Proxy wars, arms sales, and military interventions by the superpowers worsened tensions and contributed to instability in the region, such as in Afghanistan, Iran, and the Arab-Israeli conflict. The competition for influence during the Cold War shaped alliances and conflicts in the Middle East that continue to have lasting effects today.
The proliferation of nuclear weapons and the arms race dynamics developed during the Cold War continued to shape global politics post-Soviet Union. The legacy of proxy wars and conflicts fueled by Cold War rivalries also persisted, influencing regional dynamics in various parts of the world. Additionally, the establishment of alliances and strategic partnerships formed during the Cold War continued to impact international relations in the post-Cold War era.
The fifties had more conflicts regarding the Cold War in Europe.
