It’s honestly hilarious that people can even think a medieval relic like a caliphate could rise let alone be at all a world player. It’s frankly delusional, even pitiful.
Besides, I’m completely malevolent to any idea of a caliphate. The people of the Near East and North Africa should think about becoming stable, modern nations rather than reverting to the bloody Middle Ages lmao.

Well it would start with democracies and a few monarchies.
Eventually if any Muslim-majority nation refused to join they could boycott it’s trade and refuse to send military support.
Combined with an Islamic revival, that makes military service for such a divisive, arrogant government unpopular amongst young men and women and eventually they’d join the caliphate just to be protected by it’s army.

Well you’d need to get the support of a handful of Muslim countries (say, Jordan, Lebanon, Malaysia, Indonesia and Turkey).
Jordan might support it because a Hashemite would probably be chosen as Caliph.
Lebanon, Malaysia, Indonesia and Turkey don’t have unaccountable rulers so if a caliphate was a popular idea a politician could be elected on that platform.
Also between them the nations I’ve mentioned have enough power to put encourage other nations to be in the caliphate with semi-independent states for defence and economic cooperation (like how the USA started)
Each nation that supports the caliphate would be another domino till eventually it covers all Muslim-majority countries
(As well as countries like Bosnia where they would be a majority if it wasn’t for genocide/settlers).

Sort of. They were the last Islamic state to have reasonably widespread support for a claim to a caliphate directly descended from the heirs to Muhammed (PBUH). But it wasn't a clear claim; it was based on conquering the Egyptian Mamluks, who had maintained a shadowy Abbasid caliphate in Cairo from 1261 after the 1258 sack of Baghdad had ended the main Abbasid line. But the Ottoman claim was never universally recognised, and the Ottomans themselves were fairly slack about consistently claiming the title until their final century.
There were a couple of unsuccessful attempts to claim the title of Caliph after the 1924 abolition of the Ottoman office, notably the brief attempt by the Hashemite rulers of the Hejaz shortly before they were evicted by the House of Saud, but these didn't come to anything.Fatimida wrote:The Ottomans conquered the entire Islamic world
That'll come as a surprise to the Persians, Mughals, Omanis, and a fair few others.

The last Caliphate died in 1923. That's not the Middle Ages nor does a Caliphate have anything to do with reverting to that era. A Caliphate is, in it's broadest definition, a united state of all Muslim-majority regions and countries. It doesn't even have to be a theocracy in that sense.

This tbh. I'm not a Muslim, so I'm not especially for having one, but there are some merits it has, the issue is of course that I don't think political Islam or the Islamic world in the middle east has quite recovered from the ideological shock accumulated from the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the Sykes-Picot agreement, the Arab-Israeli Wars, the Persian Gulf Wars, and the Arab Spring, and it's unlikely any effort to produce a functional form of political Islam would be either successful or desirable at the moment. When we talk about a Caliphate, OP, we're talking about a large state with hundreds of millions of inhabitants, varying religious sects, different nationalities, and more ideologies than you or I can count. Such a political project would require immense effort and investment, and right now there's so much ideological chaos that the Islamic world has not really recovered from enough to put together a coherent successor to the Caliphates of old.

Nor will it be desireable. Why the fuck should I or my country obey a random bearded boomer from faraway Mecca or Istanbul? We're not economically connected, and our relationship with the US and China is far more important.

From the nationalistic and sectarian differences exacerbated by colonialism to the discrimination towards minorities faiths in certain Muslim countries, no Caliphate like the Rashidun will exist again. 3 of the 4 Rashidun caliphs were assassinated. Salahuddin died penniless, and Ulu Hakan Abdulhamid II was overthrown (and those two had their fair share of criticizable actions.)
