Alexey, These are just fantasies. Riyadh power is the creation of your fantasies. The same can be said about Teheran power. The problem with this region is that there is plenty of oil. After invasion of Iraq US controls 68% of the oil currently produced. They are ganging now against Iran for additional 12% with Russia playing the role of the fool in this process. Allegedly it is about Iran’s nuclear ambitions but any excuse and any lie are good for large amounts of oil and gas. Yes Iran is also guilty of possessing gas, badly needed for Nabucko in order to enslave Europe with respect to energy supplies. After Iran there will be turn on Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan for their gas. And then on Kazakhstan for its gas and oil. And after acquisition of Venezuela the evil will control 93% of global oil production. Russia with its 7% of oil production will not matter. It is astonishing to see Russia cooperating with the evil, helping their occupying forces in Afghanistan. In the end the evil will be able to strangle Russia.

I have always wondered myself if the fears and issues about Iran are really about a 3rd country becoming a power-broker in the region. Israel and Saudi Arabia appear to be the two power-brokers regionally and Iran would be a potential threat politically and economically, as I see it. The 'nuclear threat' allegedly posed by Iran sounds a lot like the 'weapons of mass destruction' never found in Iraq, but held the leverage of fear in the mind of Western media attention to justify the invasion of Iraq. I see the same game-plan currently underway for Iran. Additionally, I think the whole US/NATO incursion into the Middle-East and Central/South Asia is the strategy of Empire to gain and retain strategic monopoly of the region.
