Huh!!! leave it alone.. FYI, Iran is also fuel rich perhaps not as much as Saudi. That is secondary, Iran is rising power and along with turkey will be the two natural poles of power in middle-east/west-asia and there by automatic power centers of Islamic world.
Good once Iran become what you say it will become we can start making fences with them. This being our existing relations are not that bad.This is not just a KSA vs Iran. Its the whole Sunni Gulf vs Shia Iran and Indian imports about 50% of its total oil from the Sunni Arab Middle East and just 16% from Iran - Link. This is just oil and we import huge quantities of Natural gas from Qatar.
With already skyrocketing petrol prices, I dont think the common Indian can endure any more uncertainites in the realm of fuel.
So if any one sees us taking sides here, it is naturally going to affect our interests
Saudi Arabia is barely clinging, to its oil reserves and US alliance.. but the future is quiet clear.
Staying out of fight... Iran vs Saudi gambit will have influence beyond the region, even if you live under rock or India.
You dont get it.You terribly underestimate the extents to which the West and the Monarchies will go to cling on to power. So if anyone thinks that there will another Libya in Gulf, Wake up. Taking any sides is not a win-win situation. It is clearly a lose-lose situation for India and I hope the Indian FM does not do anything stupid. This is not our fight. Plain and Simple.
