The Persian Gulf, important because of its vast energy
resources, emerged into the limelight of geopolitics at the time of
the British Labour government's policy of withdrawal from East of
Suez in 1968. Before 1968 it had been recognised that the Gulf lay
in the legitimate sphere of influence of Britain, while the United
States exerted its influence in the two pivotal littoral states of
Iran and Saudi Arabia. The Soviets had been gaining influence in
Iraq ever since the overthrow of the monarchy in 1958 and the
Chinese were also fishing for influence by their support of the
Popular Front for the Liberation of the Arabian Gulf. This book
examines the political axes of the various super-powers with Iran
and the Persian Gulf and discusses the implications of these
problems for the issue of security in the region.
