This has caused a cold war between Iran and the Saudi Kingdom. Islam is shit and so are most religions, but islam is the shittiest of them all. Look at any islamic country and that should be obvious. Wherever that deplorable religion spreads, death and oppression come with it.

The West & Israel committed major war crimes, devided nations, installed, funded, armed and supported PUPPET RUTHLESS DICTATORS, encouraged corruption and bribery, and stole the resources, such as oil and land! .. the other 10% is simple, Iranian people are nice people but the Iranian leaders are scam artists! Iran is under extreme threat from the US/Israel, Iran wants to control Arabs (but they can't) .. Isis is a "false flag" group funded, armed and supported by Intelligent agencies (US/Israel) to manufacture fear and hate against Islam and Arabs!

      It is. That's why it's a disaster when fools like Donald Trump can make decisions. Here is one of many examples of how irreparable the damage is that completely incompetent foreign policy does. The Obama administration, for example, has been trying to slowly improve relations with Iran and end its isolation. Certainly also because analysts saw the dangers that are now being realized even then. By Trump's cancellation of the nuclear deal and reinstatement of sanctions to play strongman, he has put Iran in a situation that leaves them no choice but to join forces with Russia. American geopolitics has been a carefully balanced affair for many decades. But stupid decisions by angry children will ensure that America's adversaries become ever more organized.

I also love how you conveniently forget to mention the CIA coup d'état in Iran in 1954, and how British and American petroleum companies didn't want the Iranian government to nationalize its oil and gas wealth, and installed the brutal Shah in their democratic governments place.
      You also forget the mention the role the USA has played in keeping the Middle east war torn and divided for decades in its efforts to isolate an destroy Iran, wit its colonial settler outpost Israel always willing to do its bidding, and your idea that Russian and Iran are totally isolated is false, most of the world in fact nearly all the world outside the collectives west has not sanctioned Russia, only 13% of Humanity has sanctioned Russia, but is common for the people in the west to consider themselves the whole world, and every one else just their subservient monkeys, what idiots like you fail to realize is those days are now well and truly over.

      Considering your "geographic location" and how young Azerbaijan (as an independent state) is, I think Azerbaijan made a huge strategic mistake by trying to get closer to Israel and Turkey. I can't fully understand why they have done that really. But now, I think your northern neighbor wants to gain control over Azerbaijan once again, while it can (because 50 years or 100 years from now, it may be too costly or maybe even impossible to do that, considering the role of Turkey and the EU). Still, I think they will allow Nakhichevan to still exist as an independent entity, but I could be wrong. In that hypothetical (but logical) scenario, Armenia then may even try to cut off the Nakhichevan-Turkey border, just in case (for future).

It's not known how many soldiers are deployed there, but about a decade ago it was less than 10. And if you look at it on a map, it becomes clear that it lacks the support facilities for major repairs or to house a lot of people.

    I think a very important part of Iran's history was skipped over and also accounts for the hostility toward the U.S.
    From Wikipedia: "In 1951, Mohammad Mosaddegh was appointed as the Prime Minister of Pahlavi Iran. After the nationalization of Iran's oil industry, he became enormously popular. He was deposed in the 1953 Iranian coup d'état, an Anglo-American covert operation that marked the first time the United States had participated in an overthrow of a foreign government during the Cold War."
    The UK and the US basically wanted private control of all the oil and gas, and Iran said no, so the CIA and MI-6 offed the legally elected Prime Minister, who was secular and progressive. They installed the Shah, who, while progressive and modern, was just a puppet of the US. They continued their meddling in sovereign nations throughout the rest of the 20th century, not for the US, but for the mega corporations owned by super rich US citizens, just like it is today.

      Before you go talking about the evils of the world you need to place them in the context of the world. The man you speak of, Mohammad Mosaddegh, took control of the oil and gas industry that was built by the British there continuously since 1913. There were a lot of wealthy Iranian people that didnt like him for Nationalizing the industry. Also, what you left out was the U.S. admitted to involvement by paying protesters and bribing officials, not assassinating. Can you bride the willing though? Really? Rezh Shah had declared the country nuetral because he was afraid of Soviet and Anglo ambitions in his country. It seems that Mosaddegh was fitting into the soviet influence. After Mossadegh was deposed, Rezh was reinstated and put together a 50/50 deal with the British. We all know what happened in the Iranian revolution and the hardship of Iran, but then you would ask the British and their allies to help a people who took their investments away from them. A people that violently expelled them. A people that started terrorist attacks upon countries that they blamed for their own lack of foresight. Iran has doubled down since then continuously in a downward spiral estranging themselves from the west by blaming their problems on them. When in the west people have a right to choose who they do business with, that is no way to do business. Good business requires a certain amount of stability and those countries that cannot offer that dont do much business. It's economics. No one wants their facilities taken away from them.

      as the world becomes more globalized , its important for Israel , Iran and Saudi Arabia and America to try and improve relations , any attempts by the United States or Israel to declare war on Iran will probably lead to a war where neither side can win and neither side can end it , it could last 100 year because it would be ideological , anytime you have ideology involved , wars become endless , the best policy would be diplomatic where Iran , America and Israel agree on steps to open embassies or at least open consulates or at a bare minimum , a interest section at a host embassy , a war would essentially destroy the new world order

    Each nation does what’s in it’s immediate interest. It’s also worth noting that China is using less oil probably due to EVs which are 24% of their auto sales. Seems like if the West and China continue to use less oil, this undermines Russia and Iran, makes India less dependent on Russia, reduces China’s fear of having its oil supply through the South China Sea cut off, and reduces the chance of US jumping in on the side of whoever is supplying us oil. I would say a net positive influence. I like your series because it helps understand things that influence nations, rather than just demonizing the other based on religion, political tradition, or culture.
