Document Summary
If you nuke us we will nuke you: makes the us less likely to protect south korea and japan, this could lead to nuclear proliferation/arms race, only 9 nuclear powers in the world. Iran didn"t have the same control of its people like saudi: because iran"s muslims felt stifled. Iranian revolution: overthrow the shah, leads to tension between saudi. Itolo hemani: preached against western back monarchies, muslim, terrified government of saudi arabia, worried that the same thing would happen in saudi, religious threat, saudi = sunni. Iran: exporting its revolution: backing shia groups to overthrow, cia reports helping groups in iraq, afghanistan and saudi arabia, us strengthens ties with saudi arabia, creates gulf cooperation council. Iraq under saddam hussein invades iran: try to stop revolution and gain control of oil, turns into trench and chemical warfare. Iran starts winning: saudi comes to help, give them money, weapons and logistic help to build up iraq, like a wall against iran.
