Elements of Hezbollah
The “new Hitler”… this moniker given to Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman could not be more apt. Khamenei is indeed trying to follow on the footsteps of Hitler, whose delusions of grandeur led him to think he could conquer the world and build a new German empire. The result was a terrible defeat for Germany, but only after scores were killed and countries destroyed. This catastrophe would not have happened, had Europe intervened in the very early days of Hitler’s growing megalomania.
Iran and Nazi Germany are quite alike when we look at the mindset of their rulers. But Saudi Arabia has discovered the game plan of the Khamenei regime early on. It has rescued Bahrain and Yemen from falling into Iran’s treacherous lap. The Kingdom also confronted the Shiite Crescent Project, which would have placed the region under direct Iranian domination, with Khamenei and his cronies at the helm
There has been no letup in Iran’s designs to destabilize the region ever since the Khomeini revolution of 1979. Khomeini’s followers have been trying to export this revolution, and, in the process, have been interfering in the internal affairs of other countries by playing the sectarian card. They have been deceiving the Shiite minority by portraying them as underdogs to the Sunni majority in Arab countries. And it depicts itself as the rescuing force rushing to their help.
Arab capitals have been bombarded with this Iranian propaganda to achieve at least two of Tehran’s goals – revive the Persian Empire, and weaken the Arabs politically and economically.
In reality, the Arab-Iranian conflict is far from being a sectarian conflict, as long as the Khomeini revolution rates Arab Shiites as second-grade followers. Neither is it a clear-cut conflict of civilizations between Arabs and Persians. It is a conflict caused by Tehran’s hostilities towards its neighbors – neighbors who have never held ambitions of holding sway over Iranian territories.
