Last week I posted how Iran’s influence is spreading throughout the region, from Lebanon through Syria and into Iraq, indeed much of the area where ISIS previously ran rampant. Now, it looks like someone else has much the same idea. See the latest article by Jonathan Spyer in the most recent edition of Foreign Policy here. Spyer goes into considerable more detail than I did but he clearly demonstrates how Iran’s influence is spreading throughout the region at the expense of the Saudis who seem to miss out on every opportunity they’ve had. In the “war” between Tehran and Riyadh, the Iranians clearly have the upper hand.
