Summary:	The Persian Gulf is one of the most critical flash points in the world today. After a revolution and three major wars in the past 30 years, the Gulf's continued strategic significance is not in doubt. The future political trajectory of the region, however, is uncertain and all the Gulf states believe themselves to be in a vulnerable position.
