In recent days, reports have been published regarding the role of certain Arab countries in the southern Persian Gulf in the US-Zionist war against Iran; as Reuters news agency reported that Saudi Arabia, concurrently with the military aggression of the US and the Israeli regime, carried out attacks against Iran.
Prior to this, The Wall Street Journal had reported that during the US-Zionist imposed war against Iran, the United Arab Emirates also carried out attacks inside Iran, targeting among other things the Lavan refinery.
These reports, while making it necessary for regional countries to clarify their role in the Ramadan war, also serve as clear evidence of Iran's restraint in limiting missile and drone strikes solely to US-Zionist interests, targets, and bases, as well as the need for regional countries to remain vigilant so as not to fall into the new Washington-Tel Aviv game of creating fresh crises in the region.
Iran: Defender of Regional Stability at the Peak of Aggression
Relying on the published reports regarding the cooperation and role of some regional countries in US-Zionist aggression against Iran, it can be stated clearly that the Islamic Republic of Iran, in the most sensitive of times, namely legitimate defense against aggressors, has observed the principles of neighborliness and good neighborly conduct, targeting only the bases, interests, and targets of the US and the Israeli regime, and has strived to ensure no harm befalls regional countries.
Even in response to attacks on infrastructure, Iran has targeted centers belonging to the US or linked to its interests. This is while, based on reports of aggression by countries such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia, Iran, under international law, has had the right to a broad response against these countries.
The conduct of these countries, by making available bases and airspace to aggressors, is considered participation in an illegal and illegitimate war; an act that must be challenged by the international community and international bodies.
Necessity of Arab Countries' Transparency and the Restoration of Regional Trust
The published reports regarding the military aggression of Saudi Arabia and the UAE, alongside the cooperation of certain other Arab countries with US-Zionist aggressors, is tantamount to the participation of these countries in heinous crimes such as the attack on the Minab School; an issue that reveals their disregard for good neighborliness and their falling into the trap of US-Zionist criminals.
Given that these reports, on one hand, damage neighborly relations and deepen Iran's distrust toward the behavioral nature of these countries, and on the other hand, tarnish their standing in global public opinion as partners to criminals and perpetrators of civilian killings, transparency and an official position statement by the leaders of the aforementioned countries regarding these claims appears necessary.
The silence of these countries could be interpreted as implicit confirmation of these reports; an issue that will carry even heavier political, economic, and security consequences for them.
New Scenario of Washington and Tel Aviv for Regional Crisis-Making
The publication of these reports in the current circumstances, while certain Arab countries have yet to take a clear position denying them, and simultaneously countries such as Kuwait and Bahrain are raising baseless accusations against Iran, has increased the risk of these countries once again falling into the US-Zionist game; a dangerous game whose outcome will be nothing but the intensification of regional crises and betrayal of the security of the Muslim world.
The deception by the US and the Israeli regime to divide the political costs of their defeat against Iran and the Axis of Resistance, to reduce pressures on Netanyahu, to divert global public opinion from the regime's crimes in Palestine, and to shift the nature of the Persian Gulf crisis from US-Zionist aggression against Iran to tensions between Tehran and Arab countries, these are part of the objectives of this new scenario.
Iran's Decisive Response to Any New Adventurism
Accordingly, the Arab countries of the region must, with vigilance and a precise understanding of the situation, avoid falling into the crisis-making project of the US and the Israeli regime; because continued reliance on Trump's promises and submission to his pressures will lead to nothing but intensified crisis and increased security, political, and economic costs for the entire region.
The published reports, on one hand, are evidence of the righteousness of Iran's positions regarding the Persian Gulf and the restrictions placed on energy transportation and trade relations between these countries and their crisis-creating partners, and on the other hand, show that these countries, in the event of any aggression or adventurism by the US and the Israeli regime, will become legitimate targets for Iranian missiles and drones.
These countries must understand that buying time for aggressors to rebuild military capacity, while Iran and regional public opinion become entangled in a fabricated Iranian-Arab confrontation, cannot be a lasting service to Trump; for the armed forces of Iran stand at full readiness, and any aggression from any origin will be met with the most crushing and unpredictable defensive and combat strategies.
