Arabs forming Anti-Iran front

By: Morteza Aminmansour

Arabs forming Anti-Iran front:
Is it a threat to Iranian sovereignty in the Persian Gulf?

Following recent threats against Iran in the Persian Gulf countries by leading Arab newspapers and medias, it is time for Iranian media to stand up and respond in the same way. We have to criticize these corrupt regimes in the Persian Gulf so called Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in the face of the danger not only by Saudi Arabia also by corrupt regimes of UAE .. The Iranian columnists and journalists also need to joint a front against these corrupt Arab countries and they should write more about human rights abuses in these countries (worst regimes are Saudi Arabia and UAE) , Iranian people need to be prepared for any military action plans, which are drawn up, by these aggressor or countries which are providing the logistic military help to these corrupt governments. We need to modernize our military industry and strength our capabilities in developing new weapon system that protect our country against these aggressor .The claim by corrupt regime of UAE over three Iranian Islands is the best prove , why we need to be ready for any kind of attack caused by the countries south of Persian gulf . These regimes are preparing for a joint military forces and are going to establish a plan from their headquarters in Bahrain and UAE for an attack on our country. . Iran must be ready before it is too late.

"Since the beginning of the Iranian nuclear crisis between Iran and the international community as represented by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. Security Council, the E.U., and the U.S., Arab countries in Persian gulf have been making efforts to respond by means of direct and indirect threats to Iran. We also learned about the escalation that comes from these Arab countries accusing Iran’s position on peaceful civilian nuclear energy. The statements by IRGC naval commander Ali Razmjou to the Fars news agency is very well justified, 'If our enemies (specially corrupt regimes in the Persian gulf) want to launch a military attack, the IRGC and other Iranian forces will respond immediately in own way which that can turn the Persian Gulf into a hell for enemies of Iran.

We cannot be silent in the face of all these threats and warnings, and in the face of the Arab threats in the Persian Gulf over Iran’s sovereignty (specially our three Iranian islands) and security and of Arabs interference in our affairs. Iranian government must come up with serious and unified security measures that the country can take in the Persian Gulf, we must start preparing a defense plan, in order to confront Arabs aspirations in the Persian gulf region, and in order to create a minimal balance of power in the Persian Gulf. Such efforts must be emphasized by conducting large-scale military maneuvers and watch any military action in the region very carefully.

The worrying question is why we Iranian are not taking any action, despite the many options for preparing a defensive plan, which can protect our interest in the Persian Gulf. Have we forgotten how Saddam Hussein invaded IRAN and after that Kuwait. We should never forget , that these corrupt regimes financed the war and supported IRAQ in the war against Iran , which cost the lives of over one million Iranian and destroyed our Industries schools ,hospitals, infrastructures and Iranian are still paying for this unjustified war and we should never forget that some Iranian are taking the wealth of our country and investing in these Arab countries instead of investing in our country and providing job inside our country. The Persian never made any threats to invade Bahrain and any other country in the region; We only reviewed the history and our mistake we made by letting Bahrain to separate from our mother land .we made a mistake to negotiate with British government in a package to allow UAE to become a country , which is now worst than Israel for our security in the region we have not forgotten the dispute between Iran and the claim of UAE over three Iranian islands.

The Persian Gulf's location is strategically and geographically; importance to Iran and the entire world. As part of the new security regime in the Persian gulf , Iran also assisted the government of Oman to successfully defeat a Marxist rebellion in the Dhuffar province . Which cost the lives of many Iranian soldiers at the time We have made it a gulf of peace and stability without our help the government in Oman would not exist yet . The sultan of Oman knows better when he needed help, only Iranian saved his regime not other Arab regimes in the region. If he sleeps night without fear because of his faith in our accountability and us. Although the Persian Gulf' with its oil resources, revenues, and vital position is as a passage between landmasses has made it a fragile and dangerous region (Because of the wrong politics of these corrupt regimes south of Persian Gulf) and the lack of knowledge of US and other foreign Governments.
Although much less independent, The Persian gulf Arab Emirates (Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, and what now constitutes the UAE were at the same time carved out of the nominally Ottoman territories by the British. Like Iraq –Jordan, the borders of the Emirates were drawn up to pay political debts while ensuring a system of divide and Rule . Many of the current border dispute in the region stem from such colonial schemes( disputes between Iraq and Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain , Iran and UAE over three Iranian Islands in the Persian gulf).
According to (Andrew Rathmell, Theodore karasik and David Gompert) the time is thus ripe for inaugurating a new indigenous security regime under which Iran , Iraq, and other Corrupt regimes ( Saudi Arabia and UAE ), Oman , Qatar and Bahrain in the Persian gulf settle their border disputes, guarantee non- interference in each other’s internal affairs and cooperate for a durable peace . The new regime , however would be impossible without guarantees from the great powers.
In the Persian Gulf region reform is needed to build a more stable regional system that will pose less of a burden to external powers and reverse the growth of extremism, reform of the region’s political, economic, social, and defense structures is essential. Also the Arab regimes should admit pluralism and provide better administration, but precipitate and externally forced democratization may lead to short- term destabilization without any assurance of long-term gains. Therefore Iran and other Persian Gulf governments need to engage in an ambitious but gradualist program of irreversible progress toward good governance, accountability, and regional integration.
United estates and Europe need to work together to construct a more durable Persian Gulf security system based on a combination of balance and human progress of the sort other regions have experienced. The combination of balance and reform of stability with progress could give relief to the Persian Gulf and those who depend on it, from a history and conflict and oppression.
