A war between Saudi Arabia and Iran, even as unlikely that would be, would not be good.

yeah and iran has no chance of winning it at all, considering the massive and ongoing military uprise of the Saudis and its net of allies.

Also, if Turkey does put troops in Qatar and say they are attacked in an invasion (again unlikely, but possible). Does Article 5 come into play?

don't think this works this way with military bases.

Other then technology (and even then, not by that much) Iran outclasses them in almost every way. Numbers, leadership, economy, national unity, everything. The only thing saving the GCC from total defeat in this scenario is the Gulf itself.

could easily be that i - as a military noob - am just plain wrong but the ...for many years...financially and logistically restrained iran ......in a hypothetical battle between most of the arab world, which seemingly follows Saudi's lead now wherever it goes (Yemen, Qatar....) and a single if strong country, which - i guess - in such a set-up wouldn't even by supported by russia....seems....unlikely to me.

but as i said, maybe my lacking military knowledge is blindsiding me.
