Iranian rulers blind to lessons of history   

Arab Times - 07 August, 2012
Author: Ahmed Al-Jarallah

There is a saying: "Only the fools do not learn lessons from history". This applies to the regime of mullahs in Tehran which has been meddling in the affairs of the Arabian Gulf countries in general and the Kingdom of Bahrain in particular. The Iranians seem to have forgotten their internal front is in tatters. The outside world has slapped economic sanctions against them. The entire nation is on the verge of economic collapse filled with the stench of corruption on all fronts.

The stint operation of the regime of mullahs in Bahrain backfired when they tried to spread sedition through detestable sectarian speeches the language which is unknown in the Arab world since its foundation because the people have always lived in harmony. The honorable Shiites of Bahrain firmly rejected the interference of the mullahs of Iran in their internal affairs. They vehemently rejected the interference of the Iranians in their affairs.

They have confirmed as they have done several times before that they do not need the protection of the Iranian mullahs. They have said that the freedom they have in Bahrain and the decent life they enjoy the Iranians can never dream in a regime which if filled with the stench of corruption.

Tehran works to link the conflicts in the region to divert the attention from what is happening in Syria where it is almost certain its first ally to fall. It is just a matter of time. Tehran threatens military action against the Gulf Cooperation Council states and at times comes with silly allegations that Bahrain is part and parcel of Iran. What Tehran forgets is the world is in no mood to remain with folded hands to see Iran occupying either Bahrain or any Arabian Gulf state unlike it did when Tehran occupied the UAE islands.

The speeches in Tehran are not different from the speeches of Saddam Hussein who frequently boasted of his ability to burn half of Israel. He constantly threatened the neighbors and ended up in invading and occupying Kuwait on Aug 2, 1990. He claimed Kuwait was Iraq’s 19th governorate but little did he realize that with this crazy adventure he had sealed his fate. He was pulled out of a foxhole and led to the gallows.

Is it not surprising that leaders of a country such as Iran have yet to realize that they bring destruction to their country? Or is it arrogance that has blinded their perception about the truth?
The Iranian regime should pay more attention to solve internal problems and work to serve the people. The leaders of this should learn from their agent Hassan Nasrallah how and when to hide their heads in the sand.

The world has learned the bitter truth about the corrupt media of the mullahs and all the noise made by the Iranian media and the pro Hezbollah Iraqi and Lebanese satellite TV channels.
They must realize they will not succeed to stir unrest in Bahrain and help Iran achieve its expansionist goals which have kept the Iranian politicians busy because these will remain as mere illusions until their last breath.
