Most people are not aware of the smaller important location of these land areas controlled by Oman.

In my personal opinion, and perhaps most policy makers may agree that utlizing Iran to counter Saudi influence i perhaps a risky move and may back fire and alienate our Saudi allies.

A most interesting article.
