I always thought it was Barad-dûr and Orthanc. The Dark Tower and Mt. Fang. One of the Seeing-stones, the palantìri, of the Southern kingdom was hidden in Orthanc and this drew Saruman, who was by then(@the middle of the third age) plotting to rule over ME.

From these two towers was to issue the two pronged attack against the Free Peoples of ME, each dark lord desiring dominance over all.

Unfortunately for Saruman, his will and power was the weaker of the two.
