An eye on ongoing US-Saudi relations.
Despite growing US military threats and economic sanctions against Islamic countries, the governments of the Middle East have always opposed US policies based on interfering in the affairs of nations and subjugating them.
Clearly, the reason for the US to pursue a policy of obedience and repression of the nations of the region and its overt interference in the affairs of the countries of the region is to maintain and ensure Israel’s security and pump its wealth to the West to keep the US and US economic cycle active.
Therefore, the United States puts countries, parties, movements, and even personalities who oppose the US policy on the “terrorism list” and fights it with all its might to keep Israel safe and plunder the wealth of the region without hindrance. Relations between the US and the Muslim countries have stayed complicated.
It is not surprising that Iran is a “state sponsor of terrorism,” and resistance groups such as Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Ansarullah, and al-Hashd al-Shabi are described as “militias or terrorist and extremist groups” that threaten international peace and security.
But what is difficult to understand is the reason for the hostility of Saudi Arabia’s Muslim neighbor and neighbor to its neighbor and friend, Iran, and the Islamic resistance groups, which not only pose no threat to the monarchy but these forces with all the power of any evil and conspiracy. They have removed the American-Zionist axis from the region.
From the very beginning of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, which raised the banner of helping the Palestinian cause, the Saudi regime rose against the Islamic Republic and, along with the United States, supported the extinct Zionist regime in the imposed war against Iran. The Saudi regime is also hostile to Hezbollah, whose first and last goal is to liberate Lebanese territory from Israeli occupation and to help the oppressed Palestinian people. Is to destroy the Ansarullah movement.
It is clear that the role assigned to the Saudi regime, from A to Z, is in the interests of Israel and against the interests of the countries and governments in the region, and it has even targeted the Saudi people themselves. It is not clear how Saudi Arabia identifies with US policy, which has turned it into a beating within that policy. The latest reflection of this Saudi role, which is hurting the Saudi leadership in a painful way, was the meeting of Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan with his American counterpart Anthony Blinken, which took place on the sidelines of the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Matra, Italy.
Announcing the meeting, the official Saudi news agency (WAS) wrote that the meeting focused on strategic partnerships between the two countries and ways to strengthen them in various fields. According to Wass, Benfarhan and Blinken also claimed Iranian support for Ansar al-Yemeni and other terrorist and extremist groups.
What is certain is that the “strategic relations” and “common interests” referred to by the Saudi news agency are the same as the “strategy and interests” of the United States, and Saudi Arabia has no role in this “strategy and interests.” Otherwise, what benefits can the Saudi regime have in anti-Iran policies? Or why should he be at enmity with Iran? Except that Al-Saud has become a scapegoat for US policies ?! Isn’t it except that this regime enjoys this role like crazy?
