Summary/Abstract: Lasting for almost four decades imperial play between Saudi Arabia and Iran for the influencein the Middle East is comparable in its regional dimension to the global rivalry between theUnited States and Soviet Russia during the period of the Cold War. Iran, as a country presentingan openly anti-Western rhetoric, and Saudi Arabia, as the local ally of the Americans, havediverse versions of forming the political landscape. Currently both countries are perceivedby the international community as antagonists acting according to their own particular anddistinct businesses, ignoring the good of the nations afflicted by the intervention. The aim ofthis article is to present and analyse the historical and political causes and consequences ofthe conflict between these two aspiring regional forces
