Looking good for me too.
As for the war in the Middle-east, It'll probably start with the foundation of Persia, there's a guy there who makes himself emperor of Persia, and has the people in his back. This threatens their neighbors, especially their hated enemy Turkey. Persia founds an alliance (*) with some nations in the caucasus, and Persia grow to threaten their neighbors in every corner.
The Arab League forms, to protect them from both the west, and Persia. Seeing These strong nations form,Turkey is forced to ask their etnichal brothers in the Stan's (**) to join, to answer the threat of Persia. Turkestan is borned.
Persia almost forces Azerbaijan to join Persia, and asks Armenia and Georgia too, they accept, but only if they can stay somehow independent (vassals).
Then there could be an eventual war between AL and Israel, I don't care about the result really.
At the same time the war goes on in the west, Persia allies with India, And wage war with Pakistan and Afghanistan. (There's the Pakistani-Indian war we've waited for

).
Whatever the result is, Persia turns to the west after the war, and Attacks Turkestan with all its forces, and The AL can eventually attack Turkestan aswell. This way Persia can attack the Stanish (

) lands, and the AL the turkish lands. This makes the west (USA) to react, and WW3 is on it's way...
If there's a second Russian revolution, it should happen before this, If it does (Or if the USSR never dissolved), USSR can Ally with Persia and attack the Stan's from the North, to regain what they once had.
*= Azerbijan, Georgia, Armenia.
**= Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Kirghizia.
