NY Times: By threatening military force, Iran focused new attention on the

simmering dispute over how to carve up the resources of the Caspian among the

five nations bordering the inland sea - Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia and

Turkmenistan. The Iranians are arguing for a greater share than the former

Soviet republics are willing to give.

Karl: The Caspian rich in oil may prove to be another flashpoint because it

contains abundant quantities of black gold. Russia and the US are keeping a

watchful eye on events there. Much of Washington' regional strategy there

underscores its concern as to who is to own, control, distribute and process

these oil resources. Obviously its strategy is to acquire as much ownership and

control over it as possible.
