Yeah, some or most of the Iranians here are vehemently against Arabs and even Islam,
I don't post anymore in any of the Iranian section threads, although I was told to be an Iranian false flagger
Honestly I don't think they represent the Iranian society, just some radical nationalists.
They are really ignorant. They don't realize that those GCC states have better infrastructure, order, lower crime rates, living standards, HDMI, complete welfare state,almost 100% literacy rates, one of the highest rates of university students per capita, scientific journals per capita, more women graduates than male ones etc. Anyway, we don't need to look far, just a short visit to the UAE will tell you that it is flooded with Iranians.
Most Arabs and Iranians are not racists nor ignorants (very hospitable people with many of the same values overall) but anti-Arab sentiments are not something rare in Iran.
You have probably heard the word "arabparast". The anti-Mullah Iranian nationalists/secularists often use that word against their own Mullah's and blame Arabs for their own internal problems.
My experience among Arabs/with Arabs is that they don't have any problems with Iranians (only the anti-Arab ones) and in my time in KSA I have never seen any evidence of the opposite. Similarly in the UAE, if Arabs had a problem with Iranians, they would never have welcomed 500.000 Iranians. It is simple logic.
Problem is that there remains a lot of ignorance among both groups which is one of the reasons why there is so little people to people exchanges among the new generations.
Please remind yourself that Saudi Arabia or any of the Persian gulf states had no quarrels with Iran (atleast not on the scale we see now) until your sick Khomeini decided to export his shia revolution into other Arab countries.
How come Iran and Saudi had no big conflicts until that cancer landed in our country with the help of France?
It is YOUR beloved mullah regime that squandered billions of our wealth in sponsoring shia islamic revolutions in other countries. A nationalist Iran would spend all of that inside Iran and outside for strengthening Iranic alliances (Tajikistan,Afghanistan,Pakistan etc) and not pay to a few terrorists to place bombs here and there.
GFO
Saudi Arabia is not a "Persian Gulf state" what does that even mean, Dariush? That is if Iran was called an "Arabian Sea state" or a "Gulf of Oman state".
KSA is an Arab state. Arabian as well. Located on the Arabian Peninsula. In Western Asia.
In fact not even 5% of the population speak Khaliji Arabic dialects which are spoken from Southern Iraq to Northern Oman.
Not only that, the "Gulf region" that you are referring to is called Eastern Arabia. Or Al-Bahrain in the past.
