We often think of the Middle East as a battleground of Western and
Russian influence. In reality, one great rivalry between Saudi
Arabia and Iran drives our world, rather than us shaping theirs.
From the Gulf and Iraq Wars through al-Qaeda and Islamic State to
our modern energy security crisis, colossal events that determine
the fates of millions are decided by an invisible war few of us can
even see. Arthur Snell goes back beyond the Soviet Invasion of
Afghanistan, the Iranian Revolution in 1979, and WWII to uncover
the hidden conflict that shapes everything. Support Doomsday Watch

because we WANT their oil. Instead we’re sucked into a region we
don’t understand because we NEED their oil.” – Arthur Snell
“These conflicts changed everything… They unleash religion as
a dominant factor in culture, in politics, and in militancy.”
– Kim Ghattas “When America drew secular nationalist Iraq into
an anti-terrorist action, they created a cauldron of chaos that
persists to this day.” – Arthur Snell Photograph: Getty Images
