The Saudi endgame for Iran
The
United States, European Union, and Israel would like to encourage
democratic political change in Iran, replacing the mullahs and generals
with fairly elected figures. That course has no such appeal to Saudi
Arabia. Unable to destroy Iran, protracted weakening of the state is
within the Saudis' grasp - though lording it over its Gulf neighbors
would not be wise use of Riyadh's power and hegemony. - Brian M Downing
