Caspian oil may spur the third world war – Putin warns Americans from Iran

The seeds of a catastrophic third world war are in the Caspian oil basin. Russian leader Vladimir Putin met his Iranian counterpart Tuesday and implicitly warned the U.S. not to pursue oil pipeline projects in the area if they weren''t backed by regional powers. He also warned US not to attack Iran.

Putin said none of the nations'' territory should be used by any outside countries for use of military force against any nation in the region. Will Azerbaijan, a former Soviet republic, oblige American in allowing them to stage an all out attack against Iran? The region is a hot spot for massive political and military upheaval.

India has already scrapped plans for Iranian gas with hope American backed Caspian gas will be available to India.

Putin expressed strong opposition to U.S.-backed efforts to build pipelines to deliver hydrocarbons to the West bypassing Russia.

Russia considers Caspian basin that contains the world's third-largest energy reserves, as something the western nations should not touch. The western nations on the other hand are eying the Caspian basin since the fall of Soviet Union.
