This paper examines the relationship between Iran and Saudi Arabia over the past five years, noting the increasing domestic pressure for change in both countries and analysing the prospect of Iraq's eventual return to regional politics. > Both countries will have strong incentives to test the artificial balance established by the US and from which they are excluded. Each state, in the face of continued embargoes, may find the lure of weapons of mass destruction correspondingly increased. > Introduction, Shahram Chubin, Charles Tripp; Chapter 1 The Record of Relations 1979\u20131991, Shahram Chubin, Charles Tripp; Chapter 2 Contemporary Questions of Security, Shahram Chubin, Charles Tripp; Chapter 3 Ideological Competition: an Islamic Cold War, Shahram Chubin, Charles Tripp; Chapter 4 Oil Politics, Revenues and Economic Security, Shahram Chubin, Charles Tripp; conclusion Conclusion, Shahram Chubin, Charles Tripp;
