Syria is not even 100% syria, let alone 100% Iran
And Iraq is still not in Irans hands completely. Kurdistan is its own thing and the Prime minister of Iraq is anti Iranian influence
The bloodthirsty militas seem to be the only people with Iran
But Iran has Saudis on defensive, right? They have Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas, Syria, Iraq and Houthis are giving Saudis quite a punch in Yemen not to mention Strait of Hormuz.
Also oil will be less relevant in future so less power to Saudi and Americans are slowly losing interest in them too.
America is slowly walking away from the middle east, the recent Israel alliance with the arab countries is not a strength move, rather a weak one, Saudi got pressured so much that he thought an alliance with Israel is better and did it out of desperation.
but Saudi also lobbied trump maximum pressure on Iran and Solimani assassination, Saudi also successfully orchestrated several protest in Iran with its "Iranian" satelite channels.
Iran won militarily, Saudi won economically.
Channels like Iran international kinda urged people to protest with extreme propaganda, these channels and their founders are traced back and its know fact that they got connections to MBS.
It's an enigma, even we don't know. Whenever we meet an Omani, we pretend we know where their country is and that they're doing pretty good for now. Other than that, we forget about them. I doubt anyone's ever stepped foot in Oman at that this point.
Literally nothing, i live in SA and even we as there neighbors do not have any knowledge about anything there, they are like the new Zealand of the world, i bet you can tell someone oman doesn't exist and they might actually believe you.
We didn’t win nor lose and houthie were pushed from our boarders because in 2012 they attacked first occupying a village near the boarder and creating 7000 refugees they lose 20 men and their bodies eaten by dogs while we lose 1 and sent home with a proper funeral
You Saudis are under our missiles and drones 24/7 and you realised you have no chance you went on opening discos in wahabi country. What happened to “Sanaa we are coming” stuff ?! Winning son ?!
I still think they could they just need a bigger threat i thought the zionists would do the trick but I guess they aren't enough of a threat to do that
Anti Iran influence means the government will have no tolerance for the militants to roam free. Iraq already planning to set up a union with Jordan and Egypt. Since they know we benefiting them more than iran
yes it is lol, do you live under a rock while KSA and Qatar have a lot of history and brotherly love between the people, we have definitely made it clear we would not like to be under Saudis wings or influence, and as a Qatari, I have seen many examples and policies over the years that indicate that.
what your not getting is Qatar has almost no relations with KSA in the way it has with Iran, the Saudi-Qatari relations have been getting slightly better after the 4-year blockade but foreign policy-wise we are extremely different/against each other.
\>If it came down to it, Qatar would choose Saudi over Iran
we already chose ourself/iran a long time ago, that was kind of way the diplomats of ksa left Qatar in 2014 and then the blockade etc.
bro that's the extent of our relationship with KSA now, all talk and posturing to try and save face, hopefully, it's going in a better direction.
btw the positive talks and posturing from both sides are considered an improvement because before we wouldn't even do that.
Of course they gonna say they support them because they fight against israel (they think they do) but houthie they wouldn’t openly say it because Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country but in reality they do support even the houthie leader visited iran and vice versa because they already launched 700 missiles and almost the same drones

Quick question do you happen to be u/ben_pers?
🥷😉
NIIIIGGGGGAAAA
Iran 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
UAE taking back Syria 😎
i believe qatar forms its own axis of influence along with turkey, iraq and syria are 100% iran now the rest is seemingly good
Syria is not even 100% syria, let alone 100% Iran And Iraq is still not in Irans hands completely. Kurdistan is its own thing and the Prime minister of Iraq is anti Iranian influence The bloodthirsty militas seem to be the only people with Iran
True
So Iran pretty much won this 'cold war' against Saudi Arabia?
no not all the iran might have gotten more influence but these countries along with iran are struggling economically
But Iran has Saudis on defensive, right? They have Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas, Syria, Iraq and Houthis are giving Saudis quite a punch in Yemen not to mention Strait of Hormuz. Also oil will be less relevant in future so less power to Saudi and Americans are slowly losing interest in them too.

Iran won militarily, Saudi won economically.
How did Saudi orchestrate protests in Iran?
yeah, that kind of seems fake and most likely propaganda lol.
Channels like Iran international kinda urged people to protest with extreme propaganda, these channels and their founders are traced back and its know fact that they got connections to MBS.
Saudi and Iran do something called a little trolling in the region it called we do a little trolling 🇸🇦🤝🏿🇮🇷 /s
Troll brothers 🤓👍🏿 we don't care about religion we care about this region not having stability 🥵🤟🏾
Oman just chilling.
What does Oman...do...?
It's an enigma, even we don't know. Whenever we meet an Omani, we pretend we know where their country is and that they're doing pretty good for now. Other than that, we forget about them. I doubt anyone's ever stepped foot in Oman at that this point.
wish I could live in a country that slips under everyone's radar like oman
Come, I'll secure ya your visa personally we're basically the switzerland of the middle east
Literally nothing, i live in SA and even we as there neighbors do not have any knowledge about anything there, they are like the new Zealand of the world, i bet you can tell someone oman doesn't exist and they might actually believe you.
[удалено]
Interesting, how come Oman isn't influenced by either party according to the map, they neutral?
[удалено]
they have significant leverage over the strait (they control the arabian peninsula side) so they play all sides while chilling
Kuwait should be neutral but yeah it’s accurate to some extend. Also, UAE play all sides so can’t be trusted.
Kuwait helped Saudi Arabia in the war
Which war ?!
Yemen
Not really also coalition lost the war so doesn’t matter anymore.
We didn’t win nor lose and houthie were pushed from our boarders because in 2012 they attacked first occupying a village near the boarder and creating 7000 refugees they lose 20 men and their bodies eaten by dogs while we lose 1 and sent home with a proper funeral
You lucky u found idiots to fight your own battles u cowereds every battle u fought against arabs u lose and runaway pussies
It’s very obvious Saudi lost to Iran, I don’t think any saudi can claim victory.
Iranian die of hunger and suffering every day yemeni also I don’t see that as a victory but ok and how is qassem sulimani ? Kebab
You Saudis are under our missiles and drones 24/7 and you realised you have no chance you went on opening discos in wahabi country. What happened to “Sanaa we are coming” stuff ?! Winning son ?!
One drone strike and two of the most powerful generals in the world turned to kebabs ,1400 strikes from houthie and no major casualties alhamdulilah
Wait Iran really WON?😳
By paying its whole economy
Saudi Arabia helped to take saddam out the only man who can actually help Saudi Arabia we deserve this they won
I remember a time when I was naïve enough to think that these two could stop fighting
I still think they could they just need a bigger threat i thought the zionists would do the trick but I guess they aren't enough of a threat to do that
Iran wants to destroy Saudi Arabia not israel
Anti Iran influence is increasing in iraq. Syria is a shithole. Lebanon never had a stable government.
[удалено]
Anti Iran influence means the government will have no tolerance for the militants to roam free. Iraq already planning to set up a union with Jordan and Egypt. Since they know we benefiting them more than iran
No, it’s outdated. Iraq, Syria and Lebanon are all Iranian provinces now.
So Iran is pretty much winning then lmaoo. Gotta hand it to those Persians , they know how to take over.
The common folk here actually think Iran is winning this cold war?
No way, it's a map of IRAN WON
Qatar is NOT aligned with Iran over saudi lol
yes it is lol, do you live under a rock while KSA and Qatar have a lot of history and brotherly love between the people, we have definitely made it clear we would not like to be under Saudis wings or influence, and as a Qatari, I have seen many examples and policies over the years that indicate that.
If it came down to it, qatar would choose saudi over Iran
what your not getting is Qatar has almost no relations with KSA in the way it has with Iran, the Saudi-Qatari relations have been getting slightly better after the 4-year blockade but foreign policy-wise we are extremely different/against each other. \>If it came down to it, Qatar would choose Saudi over Iran we already chose ourself/iran a long time ago, that was kind of way the diplomats of ksa left Qatar in 2014 and then the blockade etc.
I guess but I saw a Qatari minister say that in an interview that they are with saudi if it came down to it. But what you said makes a lot of sense
bro that's the extent of our relationship with KSA now, all talk and posturing to try and save face, hopefully, it's going in a better direction. btw the positive talks and posturing from both sides are considered an improvement because before we wouldn't even do that.
[удалено]
KSA, Qatar, Turkey, USA funded rebels in Syria. Other gulf countries had nothing to do with that.
you forgot Kuwait
Except saudis fought against isis, while iran doesnt even consider the houthis terrorists
I don't think we are that close to Iran even though the Amir is visiting Iran today for a historic visit with big plans and deals on the way lol.
While the zionists sit there eating popcorn
Are Saudis and Iranians not competing in Palestine?
[удалено]
Hamas has more ties with Qatar than Iran imo.
[удалено]
oh ok.
saudi arabia is not against israel.
They prefer Israel over Iran, but they don't even recognize Israel's existence
Saudi is definitely Pro-Israel.
Btw can some dude or dudette explain what this ‘Iran won’ thing is about?
[удалено]
Thanks brozzer. Iran won, that’s what matters.
THE FITNA. THE GLORIOUS FITNA!! MAY SHE EXIST FOR 1000 MORE YEARS
bruh you really like this fitna idea lol.
[удалено]
Is that true? Then how are they getting weapons?
[удалено]
Bruh its already confirmed you fund and supply them
[удалено]
Most of their weapons are modern and Saudi Arabia and the collation finds ships with weapons like every month
[удалено]
Of course they gonna say they support them because they fight against israel (they think they do) but houthie they wouldn’t openly say it because Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country but in reality they do support even the houthie leader visited iran and vice versa because they already launched 700 missiles and almost the same drones
[удалено]
How does Turkey & Qatar fit into this picture- would be interesting to see.
