Getting out of this predicament Against Iran with the United States of America.

Does ending this conflict mean something,

in one way or another, or that... Is this unlikely?

I think if they go ahead with this or even think about this, they are committing

the sin of a lifetime. The Gulf region, first of all, all its buildings

They are houses made of what is called greenhouses or houses

built from glass. So any attack in this area like what Israel is

facing today from massive attacks will lead to total destruction.

And then we all Our humanitarian institutions are on the coast,

desalination plants, Humans, animals, and plants live off them,

so if these are wiped out with a single strike,

Right or wrong, it could lead us to a catastrophe. Power plants,

hospitals are exposed to it. So any move for us to take part in this war or for

Gulf states to get involved in this war,

I believe it would be the sin of a lifetime for this region,

and I hope it never crosses the mind of any Arab leader to join the United States,

because this war is not our war with Iran. This is a war of the United States of

America and Israel, let it end on that basis.

Why should we throw ourselves into this war?

Otherwise, the war will later turn,

and Israel will look at us and America will look at us while we are

clashing with Iran. Iran the history, Iran the geography, Iran the human being,

and we too have

a place in this history, so we must not

stand by Israel in this battle at all. On the contrary, I am surprised why

we did not condemn from the beginning the Israeli aggression,

because it is the one that started the aggression in the first place,

it is the one that ignited the fire of war,

but unfortunately not a single Arab state appeared that condemned

Israel’s aggression against Iran.

I am not saying this out of love for Iran, but we…

Did we not condemn the Russian Federation for its aggression against Ukraine?

We condemned it.

So then why do we not condemn Israel for its aggression against Iran? And thus we

would keep a card to play in this situation. No, unfortunately, we lost it.

Lebanon is now being divided up.

And we have not heard a single Arab voice speak about it.

Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or within a month,

Israel will reach the Lebanese capital, the capital of an Arab state,

and occupy it as it occupied it in the eighties of the last century.

And accordingly Syria too will be subjected to strikes,

Gaza for two years and three months,

and the strikes on it are still continuing to this day. Israel creates a war so

that we forget another war, and thus we have forgotten our

wars while it is enjoying in our Arab homeland what it should not be,

what it should not be doing. So now we are in the historical impasse that we

are living in. I am calling with the voice of reason that we hasten toward

the initiative now being led by Pakistan and its group, that they hurry

to absorb this war and stop it, and genuinely call for stopping this war,

and not joining it or approaching joining it under any threat.

And the United States of America is not the power that is with us at all,

it is with Israel.

And it will not allow us to be a power, otherwise why is this… Iran now has

Since the revolution until now, for about forty years,

and we are even older than that,

but we have not been able to establish a proper military force,

our weapons are imported, and our ammunition is imported, and half our armies

are trained in different ways. That is why we are the weak spot,

we are a soft area. Egypt is absent from us, Syria is in one state, Iraq is in a

hopeless state, Yemen is unstable, so who is with us?

We are now confronting Iran on behalf of

the United States of America and Israel after they destroyed it,

and we are once again

Iran is weakened and we are weakened along with it so that we fight over this?

I believe that we must distance ourselves, and I call on

the Gulf Cooperation Council

states to distance themselves from taking part in any battle against Iran.

Not out of love for Iran,

but out of love for my country, our nation,

and our history with Iran in whatever form it may be.
