Navy and Air Force, an Iraqi Army and Air Force,
and a more or leas consolidated Gaudi Arabia.
Ve are of course on friendly terras with Iran and
Saudi Arabia, and have a Treaty of Alliance with
Iraq, but in spite of this I d 0 not suppose that
the growth of military power by States surround

ol late she ms let this claim lie dormant.
* here are no defences in any of the Arab
Shaiicndoma. If we were at war the SnaiJcnaoraa
would also be in a similar position on our side,

us to the best of their power, but have no
military forces at their disposal, except some
IbO armed police in Bahrain and a similar number
of Levies in Muscat.
