Tehran was proposing ‘a non-aggression pact’ with Gulf states
As tension in the region reaches an unprecedented level, Iran comes up with a rather bizarre proposal. On Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said his country was proposing ‘a non-aggression pact’ with the Gulf states.
Iran has come under the threat of a US attack. So Tehran has turned to its neighbours to help bail it out.
He probably expected the Gulf states to jump with joy and embrace his ‘generous proposal’. Or he might have thought that we are so naive that we would have faith in Tehran’s ‘good intentions’ following decades of direct and indirect aggression against the Gulf states and their interests.
All Zarif, the seemingly seasoned diplomat, has to do is look around the Arab world to see Iran’s trail of aggression.
In Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, Iran supports militarily and financially extremist militias that undermine the security of the region. Iran uses those militias, such as Al Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Al Hashd in Iraq as tools for its expansionist policies in the region and to launch terror strikes on Gulf states, the recent ones being the sabotage of oil tankers off the Fujairah coast and attacks on a Saudi oil pipeline.
No Mr Zarif. We are not buying your ‘nice neighbour’ routine. We will have to decline your invitation because historically the Gulf states never attacked Iran nor do they plan to attack it in the future.
The Gulf states have always been key players in promoting peace and prosperity in the region.
The Iranian regime meanwhile continues to call for the overthrow of Arab governments, sends its agents to spy, and sabotage, aiming to spread chaos in Gulf countries, such as Bahrain and Kuwait and more recently off Fujairah and in Saudi Arabia.
Nobody wants war in this region. But Iran should instead focus on its daunting internal problems which cannot be resolved by constantly fomenting aggression against our countries.
Mr Zarif, you cannot sweep the record of hostility by your country under the rug of a silly proposal. No thank you.

Iran will defend itself against any aggression -foreign minister
Baghdad - Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said on Sunday that Tehran would strongly defend itself against any military or economic aggression and called on European states to do more to preserve a nuclear agreement his country signed with them.
Speaking in a news conference in Baghdad with his Iraqi counterpart Mohammed Al Hakim, Zarif said his country wanted to build balanced relations with its Gulf Arab neighbours and that it had proposed signing a non-aggression pact with them.
Iraq stands with Iran and is willing to act as an intermediary between its neighbour and the United States, Hakim said, adding that Baghdad does not believe an "economic blockade" is fruitful, a reference to U.S. sanctions.
