Great Caliphate (Russo-Islamic World War III)

{{InfoboThe Great Confederation of Islamic Nations (Arabic: الاتحاد الكبير للأمم الإسلامية, Persian: کنفدراسیون بزرگ ملل اسلامی), also known as the Shia Caliphate (Arabic: الخلافة الشيعية, Persian: خلیفه شیعه) is a confederation of Shiite Islamic states.

This caliphate was formed during Russo-Caliphate War, after the Turkish-led Caliphate attack Russia, President Ramin Laghmani of Iran called off Iran's membership in the Caliphate Partnership for Peace program, and declared war on Arabia, one of the Caliphate's most powerful members.

After Caliphate forces were forced to fight on the defensive, President Laghamni took advantage, invading and annexing Shiite-majority areas in Arabia, and forming kingdoms out of them.

Thus, the Iran-Iraq war continued, however unlike before, the Iraqis welcomed the Iranians. The Iranians knew their country and military wasn't big enough to handle a large invasion, therefore, Russia continued to aid their long-time Iranian allies. In addition, India also aided the Shia Caliphate, and the two continue to be military partners.

This did not sit well with Sultan Selim Ali-Erdoğan, who declared Iran's confederation a "shirk confederation".
