Neighbours of a dark star


Iran is surrounded by Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Iraq. Russia and Kazakhstan are across the Caspian Sea. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE are across the Persian Gulf. Oman is across the Arabian Sea. Iran is not just an evil empire on a dark star full of creatures bent on the annihilation of the human race; Iran is one of many states of Asia Minor. As an optimist I have to believe that none of Iran’s 13 immediate neighbours is egging them on to develop hydrogen bombs.
