Pleasure Marriage Between the U.S. and Iran

On Iran’s role in the Middle East, especially in Iraq.

Its international position is created by the first-ranking country in the world and the countries that compete with it. That first country today is the U.S., which outlines politics and conceives plans that serve its national interests and authoritative goals, then spreads them in the international arena, catering to the capabilities of different countries and their regional ambitions.

Since the U.S. turned a blind eye to the transportation of nuclear technology to Iran during the fall of the Soviet Union, the U.S. was prepared to play a major role in the region, especially in Afghanistan and Iraq, in order to inspire fear among the Gulf countries, keep them secure after Iraq lost its balance in the region and become a helpful influence in the factious project to change people’s national identity to a sectarian identity.

After the American military defeat in Iraq, the U.S. decided to withdraw and assigned Iran and Turkey major roles in maintaining the U.S.’ political achievements in Iraq, or what can be called political activities. It feared Iraq’s downfall based on the feeling that due to the lack of any political organization, sectarianism would dictate political alignments within the parties and among the masses.

The United Kingdom — competing with the U.S. — and European countries lack interaction capabilities; they are relying on the political vacuum to lead to a lack of security and the failure of the U.S. in Iraq. On one side, these countries used Kurdish separatism to play the U.S. when it had to make a decision in Baghdad, and on the other side they used it to provoke American allies in the region, Iran, Turkey and Russia, as the Kurdish trump card threatened their national security. In Bahrain, Iran plays the same role in encouraging change to the monarchy regime after calls for democracy.

The apparent hostility between the U.S. and Iran strengthens the regime internally and regionally and does not weaken it. The enemies of the U.S. and Israel are the key to leadership in our region. That is what the U.S., Ahmadinejad and the Turkish president know.

This is our destiny, to be a field under the great colonial powers and the arena of their conflicts. They make plans and we realize them according to their requirements and interests. Yesterday, the identity was national and the governments, military. Today, it is required that the identity be sectarian and the governments dictatorial. The meager, democratic governments themselves are busy with their own conflicts far from the public interest. This change will cost people in the region blood and money, in a time-consuming game of disorientation, just like it was with Israel.

Are people and governments in the region aware of their true interests, far from the interests of colonial countries? Do they know that these countries play on creating conflicts among them and differences between them?
