RIYADH – Inviting Iran to the next round of talks on the Syria crisis in Vienna, Austria – an invitation that was reiterated last week – has far-reaching implications. In fact, Iran’s current government is attempting to overthrow a balance of power that has endured for some 1,400 years – and Saudi Arabia, as the cradle of the Muslim world, will not allow it.
利雅得—邀请伊朗参加在维也纳举行的叙利亚危机下一轮谈判——这一邀请在上周被重申——将产生深远影响。事实上，伊朗现任政府正在试图颠覆维系了大约1,400年的实力平衡——而穆斯林世界的发祥地沙特阿拉伯不会允许这一情况发生。
