UAE and Its dilemma in the Persian Gulf

At present, Iran has no complaint against the sovereignty of any Country in Persian Gulf over their lands... However, every so often the neighboring countries, and especially the UAE, come up with unbelievable claims, which are bound to result in war and conflict in the region... The Arab countries in the region are taking advantage of the U.S. presence in the Persian Gulf region and Iraq and of their relations with the Western countries. The UAE must not be allowed even to raise the question of the three Iranian islands (Abu Musa, Greater Tonb, Lesser Tonb).

The arguments presented in Kayhan over Bahrain are correct and I as a writer support this no matter who wrote the article. Bahrain did once belong to Iran, but today Iran has no claim to sovereignty over it. We Iranian are respecting the sovereignty of our Arab neighbors. As long they respect our Sovereignty regarding our three Iranian Islands.

No matter if Bahrain is and will remain

An Arab State contended that the statements against Bahrain is not an evidence of Iran's desperate attempts to impose its hegemony on the Persian Gulf states: Iran is not falling back on the language of confrontation and threats isolated because of its policy and does not need antagonizes an overwhelming majority of the world's countries. Iran has not resorted to such language or demanding the return of Bahrain or inciting the Bahraini people to overthrow their government. Bahraini government is better taking care of own problems instead of repeating its support for undemocratic puppet government of UAE with its claim over three Iranian Islands.

There are always some reasons for accusing the Arab Governments in the Persian Gulf regimes of illegitimacy. These regimes, which we view as illegitimate, ones have supported Iraqi Government and with the money of these States our country was bombed and we closed our eyes and forgot everything about these puppet governments that even are not able to have control over its natural resources. Iran has not recognized own mistakes in the field of economy. Mismanagement of import regulation has brought our country to the point that we are dependent on UAE ports. What we need is to trust ourselves and spending more money for developing our ports which is desperately needed to provide more jobs for own people and reduce the poverty in our country but unfortunately our irresponsible politician sending the money to these Arab countries with very bad human rights report for importing material and product that our country desperately needed And we Iranian must realize that since the dawn of history our region has been entirely Iranian, and our Islands has been always Persian and our Gulf remain forever Persian gulf.

With its political orientations, May be, Iran has not been able to convince the world of its peaceful intentions for nuclear energy because of its behavior, Radicalism, provocative declarations, and continuous attempts to interfere with its neighbors' internal affairs. But that is the result of billion of dollars Oil money has been used against Iranian people by these Arab countries (UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia). For instance UAE Money or Saudis are supporting financially the terrorist groups to destabilize inside and outside of our country.

Calling the Persian Gulf states to build defense alliances among themselves and with other strong countries in order to deal with Iran can not help these puppet governments to save its regimes. The Persian people cannot be racist, imperialist or aggressive and will not find an alternative way to creating problems such as the current political crisis in fighting the terrorism in neighboring Persian Gulf states.

Iran was in the last decades more successful in fighting terrorism than other Persian Gulf countries at the same time.

Iran lost more security officer in fighting drugs and terrorism and finally Iran has been the victim of terrorism for many decades.

"Iranian are sick and tired of listening over and over again to the same old narrative resorted Story of Arab regimes such as Bahrain after separation from the motherland IRAN and UAE elites since the independence in 1971. Every time they face either an internal problem or a crisis in the region or on the international level, they take refuge in stirring up trouble with the country neighboring IRAN, in an attempt to divert own public opinion or alleviate the domestic pressure.

This is an appeal to the Persian Gulf states to consolidate their security strategy with IRAN rather than other country in order to deal with external challenges and aspirations that is coming from extreme Moslem community such as Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE. PGCC members included IRAN should have a unified military defense strategy. In addition, they must form military alliances and agreements, on a regional basis, with strong and prominent Arab and none Arab Muslim countries such as IRAN as part of a regional defense strategy.

Spending of billions of dollars by Arab countries in Persian gulf against IRAN will not lead to Iran's isolation in the region or its nuclear program, out of concern definitely this program will not confirm its expansionist aspirations. If Iran has been the object of concern on account of its nuclear program. It is also know that UAE becomes an object of concern because of its human rights abuses and claims over the Iranian Islands and territorial dispute with other neighbors.

Even if we view such statements (claim over Iranian Islands) as a sort of negative diplomacy leading by UAE intended to the world's attention over Iran, this has not harmed Iran in any respect, by reinforcing the Persian Gulf states' mistrust of Iran and causing its total isolation in the region.

Iranian people have been trying to improve and mend relations with their neighbors and to restore the mutual trust that has been lost or misunderstood. But in contrary UAE is unnecessarily heating up the atmosphere, thereby causing serious damage to future relations with its neighbors including IRAN In addition, our country will not lose kind of tentative manifestations of support for its rights to the nuclear project (we need electricity for running our industries and do not want to import oil from outside ).

That is our right to have nuclear energy in a peaceful way that secures our economy for next decades.

After all no one will doubt about it that Iran will ever stop its aspirations to its peaceful nuclear program and defending motherland including our three Islands. These aspirations will not become a real threat to the neighboring countries. Nuclear power will turn Iran into a force that guarantee its need to turn IRAN in a new phase of industrialization without fear of any objection. These declarations reflect economic and strategic plan, which reveals not only a small part of what Iran will be capable of doing or should achieve in short or long term.
