It seems that the phenomenon of decision abduction in some Arab countries is no longer confined to Lebanon. Although Iran has devoted its influence in Iraq in a way that is stronger than it did in Lebanon over the last years, the capital Baghdad was never at this level of exposure in the announcement of the subordination of its political decision to Iran as it is in current times!!
A few days ago, the organization “Badr” went out through its parliamentary faction in the Iraqi Parliament to attack the Gulf Cooperation Council resolution on the classification of “Hezbollah” within terrorist organizations, describing the party as “a crown on the head of each national Arab”. The organization said that “Hezbollah” is “a thorn in the eye of Israel, a crown on the head and a subject of pride to all honest national Arabs, and that describing it as terrorist is the opposite of the truth, as it fought terrorism and deterred Israel!”
To any newbie in politics, this talk seems extremely strange and mind underrating, it even calls for compassion on the mentality of the one who wrote these words. The Lebanese “Hezbollah,” is not a thorn in the eye of Israel nor in its back, nor even in a part of its foot (!) The militias of the party shed only Syrians’ blood, fight for the survival of the sectarian regime of Bashar, and are working to further displace unarmed Syrians, after the number of refugees and displaced people reached millions, which international bodies and institutions differ in determining accurately.
What is strange is that “Badr” organization’s statement ignored the current scene in the region with all its tragedies and bloody paradoxes, where the Lebanese “Hezbollah” plays the role of Iran’s spearhead, and is one of the most important implementation tools for its conspiratorial expansion plans, trying to evoke the war, which the party has ignited against Israel in 2006, with the devastation and the destruction it has caused to the Lebanese State, before the party came out later to announce its strategic victory!!
We are all aware that the standards and calculations of these organizations and militias of profit and loss are quite different from the standards and calculations of States. “Hezbollah” or “Hamas” are willing to accept destruction in exchange for the survival of the “leader”, so as to come out to the world later on boasting that Israel had failed to kill him and that this in itself is an unmatched victory!!
This obnoxious sectarian support of the Iraq’s Shiite organization “Badr” to the Lebanese “Hezbollah” is nothing but an official announcement of the control of Iran’s proxies on the political decision-making in different countries in the region. The militias have exceeded their countries, violated their sovereignty and jumped on the official roles, to pretentiously declare their subordination to Iran.
“Badr” Organization was not the only one to defend the Lebanese “Hezbollah”, but other Iraqi sectarian organizations also lined up beside it, including the “League of the Righteous” group, which has accused the Arab rulers of subordination to what it described as the “evil Zionist-American administration”, which is in itself a ridiculous paradox because the “League of the Righteous” is well known for its subordination to Iran, and its elements receive training and funding from the “Quds Force” of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. Additionally, the “League of the Righteous” also receives assistance from the Lebanese “Hezbollah”, and facts in this matter are clear and known to anyone interested in the Iraqi issue, but it seems that these terrorist organizations have completely abandoned any political calculations and are openly dependent of Iran, why not when the Iraqi prime minister himself is working for the benefit of the Iranian “Revolutionary Guard” and executes the instructions of its leaders?!
It is often said that Iraq is actually divided, and that proclaiming the division is only a formal procedure awaiting the right timing to be announced within a scheme of geopolitical architecture review of the Arab region. But it seems that the Iraqi Shiite militias are in a hurry and do not want to wait, and are awaiting any opportunity to declare their loyalty and subordination to the Mullahs of Qom, and after all that, they want the GCC countries to stand idly by on the nasty sectarian division scenarios helping fulfil Iran’s regional aspirations and ambitions.
Of late, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, said that “Arab national security is indivisible and we will confront the regional agendas,” a message not well understood by Iran and its proxies, who did not pay attention to its seriousness and significance. Tehran did not discern that the Gulf capitals were fed up with the Iranian tampering, ongoing abuse, and strategic geographical nibbling of several Arab countries.
Iran may succeed at diverting the attention of the international community from its clumsy actions in the region, taking advantage of the economic interests, the compatibility of whims and the similarity of goals and so on. But Tehran has not understood that the GCC States can no longer remain silent about these practices, and will not be able to remain indifferent in the face of the tampering by the terrorist Iran’s proxies with Arab national security.
What these militias are not aware of, is that the positions of the GCC States and their maintaining of their sovereignty, security and stability, do not stem from religious sectarian and confessional calculations, but from purely security considerations, and the decisions of deportation of some of the elements that belong to this nationality or that, fall within the scope of States’ sovereignty matters, and are not subject to limited calculations, as those deluded fancy, who seem to think that countries, like militias, are run in accordance with the logic of whims and conspiracy!!
