If Iran, even mullahs’ iran, is viewed by some like ‘Al Arabiya’ as ‘centre of universe’ then Arabiatan aka Saudi Arabia is the centre of muslim universe (mecca and all). Besides, i could never figure out how Arabs & sunnis in general, Turkey included, are so paranoid about & fearful of iran. After all, 85% of muslims worldwide & in muslim world are sunni! And are allied with the USA. Actually, al-Arabiya & Saudis should be very grateful that the Kurds have been in the frontlines of fighting Saudis & Gulf states creation ie ISIS; it may just save the Saudi royal family’s butt from their own funded & created frankenstein. Though don’t ask the Kurds to repeat. Favors have limits.
And that was Arabistan.
Iranians are smarter than arabs... and they’re more strategic... and paranoid. All that’s true. And they have delusions of ‘taking back the world’.... a scary combination.
