War with Iran

The world is betting on the wisdom, judiciousness, and patience of the leadership of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States in dealing with Iran.

Iran, with its Safavid Majusi government, is also betting on the patience and long-fortitude of the Saudi leadership.

Tehran seeks, through its ideological and intellectual theses, to carry out its agenda and aggression on its neighbors one after another, and then repudiate and deny its actions and behaviors as it is following the policy of brinkmanship.

The Mullahs’ state, which came into being with the Western blessing and America’s satisfaction, was succeeded in exploiting the American policies that work to fragment and divide the region along with the regime’s expansion in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and other countries in Asia.

This was also the case with Yemen, which is its most important project due to its geographical and strategic location, through which it can besiege Saudi Arabia and other countries of the region.

The Saudi-led Coalition countries have succeeded in stopping the expansion of the Mullah government’s influence in Yemen.

It has foiled the Iranian scheme aimed at draining and weakening Saudi Arabia through an imposed war that do never serve the interests of Yemen and the Arab region other than achieving the ancient dreams of the Persians in imposing their influence and control over the region and its capabilities.

Contrary to all expectations and bets, Saudi Arabia was able to gain military achievements, both in terms of military manufacturing and military expertise, by which it could enhance the efficiency and capabilities of air defenses, missile power, and other areas pertaining to both the armed forces and military hardware.

The wheel of development continued rolling out in all parts of Saudi Arabia and made remarkable and tangible achievements at all levels and aspects. The Kingdom continued to remain in the forefront of the world’s leading developed countries.

Saudi Arabia has achieved good results in cutting off the road to Iran and stopping its expansion in the region.

The Kingdom has also benefited from this war to improve its capabilities as it became stronger and more capable of defending itself, as well as in responding to aggression, cutting off the hand of enemies, protecting the region’s capabilities, and protecting Yemen from the Persian enemy in the long run.

The heroes of Saudi Arabia and its sons have made many sacrifices that the nation will never forget, whether it is long or short. The Saudi strategic patience with Iran is still present, which some may covet as endless patience.

The truth is that Saudi Arabia is fully aware and realizes that the world will not allow a war in the region to be paid for by the whole world, and that war is not good in itself, and that what it realizes through negotiations is better than what it realizes through a war.

More than a third of the world’s oil production comes out of this region, and the outbreak of war means a real catastrophe for the world, as it will hit the economies of the world.

Iran is still maneuvering and hastening to shirk its responsibility so as to shuffle the cards and benefit from playing on contrasts.

While speaking to Reuters, an Iranian security official abruptly said that the Houthis “do not need the approval or assistance of Iran or any other country,” and this was after Houthis’ attack on civilian facilities in the United Arab Emirates.

Commenting on the latest developments related to Yemen, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said in a carefully worded statement, “military attacks are not a solution to the crisis in the region.”

The question that arises is how long will the world rely on the wisdom and patience of Saudi Arabia, and allow Iran’s destructive policies, behaviors, interventions and ambitions in the region, and its desire for unilateralism and non-cooperation with other influential regional powers in the region?

Saudi Arabia is keen on seeing the world fulfill its dues and responsibilities. Also, the great powers bear the outcome of their policies. Time has come for the world to discharge its responsibilities with regard to Iran’s destructive policies.
