Saudi intelligence chief lobbies UK to attack Iran after US cancellation

[arashkamangir]

Biggest problem here is both Saudi Arabia and Iran want to be the leader of the Islamic world , both want to promote their own version of Islam. This is ideological war

Wrong. Iran has no such interest other than independence in policy making and resource management. The mentality of bowing down to oppressor is a byproduct of countries being colonized by colonists.

If so then why is Iran helping houthis against the Saudis?isnt it because of influence? similarly with Syria and Iraq
Every country competes for influence on other regions and this is the basis of clash between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Before 1979 revolution SA and Iran had no problems

it's not ideological, if it was Iran would try to do so with Sunni neighbors like turkey and Pakistan too.

They have serious issues with Iran.
Why don't Iran just simply go to Saudi Arabia and dubai and sign deals with them of never doing an aggression against them .

But current leader of Sunni world is Saudi Arabia while that of Shia world is Iran while in other countries like Pakistan , India , Malaysia ; Saudis and Iran strive for influence
Overall its a struggle for influence on whole muslim world and not only specific sect

These banana republics regularly spend billions of dollars on advanced US/European weaponry and yet they are still entirely reliant on the US for their security. Even though Iran has suffered decadades of sanctions and the Saudis have a military budget of three and a half times that of Iran’s, they can’t take care of themselves.

Why in the world would Sunni world consider KSA as their leader for God sake? Just because the holy sites happen to be their territory? I mean are they a good role model? Do they have advanced tech and industry? Why not Turkey? Why not Pakistan? Why not Egypt? Why not Malaysia? If KSA, a western puppet, is the leader of Sunnis then Islamic world has very serious issues.

Does Iran not fly American and Russian jets?

Those are no longer American and Russian jets. Do you know what is the operation life of jet fighter parts? Given how old those jets are, all their parts down to screws have been replaced by Iranian copies. Those are Iranian jets that just look like American and Russian.
