Iran still represents the difficult but complex equation in the region, which has not reached a solution or a way of dealing with or sympathizing with it. This is not only about the countries of the region but also for the major powers in the world. Despite the rising tone of American threats, Ambiguity, and often complication, perhaps because some have begun to look at their personal gains, away from the higher interests as they deal with Iran.
If we want to make sure what I am saying, let us recall the facts of what happened just last week in several capitals, all of which, unfortunately, refer to the apparent contradiction in dealing with the Iranian file. The beginning of US President Donald Trump's speech on October 13 was that he would not believe Iran's commitment The United States House of Representatives voted unanimously to impose new sanctions on the Iranian ballistic missile program as part of efforts to clamp down on Iran, without moving to undermine the nuclear agreement with it, and at the same time Determination of the United States on its foreign minister Rex Tillerson withdrawal «all foreign fighters from Iraq», especially «Iranian militias since the battle against Daesh nearing its end».
Although the European countries «Russia, Britain, France and Germany» signed in July 2015 an agreement with Iran to monitor its nuclear program, allowed the lifting of some economic sanctions against Iran in return for guarantees on the peaceful nuclear program, objected to what Trump and his declared strategy towards Iran, but Israel "Israel is ready to resort to military action to ensure that Iran never has nuclear weapons. We all remember that Israel had previously made unilateral moves without the consent of its US ally, including aerial strikes on a suspected reactor site," Israel Katz said. Nuclear in Syria and Iraq in 1981.
The American escalation towards Iran was not only linked to the nuclear program, but it also carried signals related to the security of the Gulf states. This is what emerged from the statements made by US State Department Spokesman Heather Naort, who pointed to the existence of a "consensus on the seriousness of Iranian influence in the region": "Our allies and our Arab partners With the United States, we are all in agreement that when you observe Iran's actions in another country, you know that it is not seeking good. We want to stop this destabilizing influence. "
But in the face of these actions and American statements against Iran, we find a number of interesting positions, as they reveal the confusion of the US in dealing with this file, including the Declaration of the US Navy last Wednesday that a US destroyer has provided assistance to an Iranian fishing vessel after being attacked by pirates off the coast of Yemen, Noting that the intervention was at the request of Tehran, the Navy said in a statement: The Iranian Coast Guard contacted the US naval command in Bahrain to inform her of the exposure of an Iranian fishing vessel attacked by pirates, while sailing south of the island of Socotra Yemen, International naval, deployed in the region to combat piracy, to intervene to help the fishing vessel and its crew, and the intervention team in the American destroyer to deliberately «providing food and water, and conducted repair operations, and provided medical assistance to the three sailors wounded civilians Iranians.
Strangely, this assistance came at a time accusing Washington of continuing Tehran to stand behind the provocations and harassment by Iranian warships against US military vessels while crossing the Strait of Hormuz, in incidents that almost lead to confrontations.
At the same time, European companies continue to cooperate with Iran, not paying attention to US warnings, as exemplified by the statements made by the financial director of French oil giant Total de la Schiffardier, who said two days ago that the company is continuing to operate in Iran despite The US president said that the group is moving forward with plans to announce bids for its project in the South Pars gas field in Iran and that the main contract will be laid down in early 2018 when clarity is available from the United States.
Even in the region, there are countries that openly declared that they are against Iranian ambitions. In contrast, we find states that have decided to fall into the arms of the Iranian monarchs, including the Emirate of Qatar. Turkey is maneuvering, not with or against, always looking for personal gains.
Certainly, the main turning point in the confrontation with Iran was its direct intervention in Yemen by supporting the Houthis, which was the direct message of Tehran to the Gulf states, especially Saudi Arabia, which bore and still bears many Iranian interventions, Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi crown prince, who said a few days ago that "destructive ideas" began to enter Saudi Arabia in 1979 as part of a religious "awakening" project coincided with the Islamic revolution in Iran.
"The status of the Iranian nation in the region today is greater than ever," said Iranian President Hassan Rowhani, who praised the country's status in the Middle East last Monday. "The situation in Iran is very different. Is it possible in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, North Africa and the Persian Gulf to make a decisive decision without taking the Iranian position into account?
All in all, I can say that international confusion is the dominant factor in dealing with Iran, which calls for the creation of a unified strategic vision so that we can confront Iran's ambitions in the region.
