Bilateral relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have been strained over different geo-political issues such as the interpretations of Islam, aspirations for leadership of the Islamic world, oil export policy, relations with the US and the West. Although Saudi Arabia and Iran are both Muslim majority nations, their relations are faught with hostility, tension and confrontation, due to differences in faith. Although both countries follow and rule through Islamic Scripture, Saudi Arabia represents a "Wahhabi" Sunni Islamic government, whilst Iran represents a Twelver Shia Islamic government. Both Saudi Arabia and Iran are seen to have aspirations for leadership of Islam, in terms of geo-politics, and both countries possess a different vision of stability and regional order. After the Islamic Revolution, the relations deteriorated considerably after Iran flaunted an anti-US policy, whilst Saudi Arabia ensured close relations with the United States and the West in general. On one hand, Iran has accused Saudi Arabia of being an agent of the US in the Persian Gulf region, representing US interests, plunged relations further. Saudi Arabia is concerned by Iran's consistent desire to export its revolution across the board to expand its influence within the Persian Gulf region -- notably in post-Saddam Iraq, the Levant and within further south in addition to Iran's controversial, much debated nuclear program.[1]
