An article from Tehran Times on the competition between Iran and Saudi Arabia (Iran-Saudi Relations: How to manage unsavory competition)
Is the competition because of their competing Shia and Wahabi nationalisms or because of more mundane quest for regional supremacy or a combination of both?
Competition between Saudi Arabia and Iran was apparent even in pre-revolutionary Iran and some will argue that it is the most recent manifestation of the centuries-old rivalry between the Arabs and the Persians. But has having different religious nationalisms made rapprochement more difficult?
Is Qatar a new causality of Saudi-Iran competition? Besides Brotherhood and Al-Jazeera, Iran is cited as the third issue that led to the unprecedented recall of Saudi, Emarati and Bahraini Ambassadors from Qatar. Three Gulf Countries Pull Ambassadors from Qatar over its support for Islamists. Are Qatar and Oman planning to defy Saudi Arabia on Iran? Qatar, Oman seek to enhance ties to counter Saudi Arabia’s sway over PGCC
