Russia has a clearly defined strategy in the Middle East. Their strategy is to appeal to Shia elements of Islam and to utilize Iran as a base of operation. Through Iran they can interact surreptitiously in Yemen through Iran’s interventions there.
Through Iran they work with Shia elements in Iraq, sowing discord where possible.
The strongest recent evidence for their Iranian influence has been their use of Iranian air bases for attacks in Syria, where they have been able to secure Assad’s victory.
In contrast, but to a much weaker degree, the US utilizes Saudi Arabia as its intermediary.

Nice read, I just passed this onto a friend who was doing some research on that. And he just bought me lunch since I found it for him smile Therefore let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch! “How beautiful maleness is, if it finds its right expression.” by D. H. Lawrence.
