America’s plan to ...

Nevertheless, media outlets affiliated with the United States and Israel launched a psychological campaign from the outset of the war aimed at damaging Iran’s relations with Arab countries—a propaganda line that continues to this day.
After this introduction, an important question must be addressed: What is America’s objective in this ominous plan? The answer is that the United States has a long history of engineering regional wars in the Middle East. For instance, in the 1970s, during the Republican presidency of Ronald Reagan, Washington provoked Saddam Hussein’s Baathist regime into attacking Iran, drawing two major and powerful countries of the region into an eight-year war of attrition that weakened both. Today, under domestic and international pressure, America seeks to gradually extricate itself from direct confrontation with Iran and transfer the front of conflict and tension to Arab countries as its proxy forces. By implementing this policy, the financial costs and human casualties of the war will be shifted from the American government onto Arab nations and governments. At the same time, through the sale of weapons and related equipment, the United States will plunder Arab countries, diverting capital that should be spent on their development into the military domain.
Israel strongly welcomes this plan, as Tel Aviv’s explicit strategic policy is to weaken all Middle Eastern countries other than the Zionist regime.
It is expected that statesmen and political elites in Arab countries—particularly those on the shores of the Persian Gulf, many of whom, especially the younger generation, are educated and familiar with the rules of the international environment—will, taking into account their own national interests and security, correctly assess the battlefield of Hormuz, distinguish between true friends and enemies, and refrain from entering this dangerous American and Zionist game. Instead of playing on America’s field and incurring enormous costs from the pockets of Arab nations, they should contemplate improving strategic relations with Iran as their historical and permanent neighbor, and believe that genuine peace and security depend on historical, geographical, cultural, and religious ties.
