Abstract
The geographical location of the Persian Gulf region is such that it
has become the axis linking Europe, Africa, South Asia and South
East Asia. More than 63 per cent of the reserves of crude oil and 40
per cent gas resources lie in the region. Today, strategic regions are
categorized on the basis of their energy resources. Insecurity in the
Persian Gulf or disruption in export of energy from this waterway
even for a short period can threaten the industrial life of countries
dependent upon oil and oil exporting countries of this region.
Hence, security of the Persian Gulf has a special status in the
foreign policies of the industrial and the oil exporting countries.
The differences between the two powerful countries of the region
and trans-region, that is Iran and America, are not over security
but over how security should be ensured in the region.
