Bahrain is
a country of the Persian Gulf and Iran continues to argue it was once amongst
its territories, and therefore claims sovereignty over this important island.
Back in August 2008, Hossein Shariatmadari, editor-in-chief of Keyhan – the
known mouthpiece of Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei – wrote an article declaring
Bahrain an Iranian province. This raised major tension between in the bilateral
relations between the two countries, and finally Manouchehr Mottaki, then
foreign minister of Iran, was forced to visit Bahrain and resolve the matter.
On the
other hand, due to the Shiite majority in this country, the Revolutionary
Guards Quds Force has been actively recruiting the youth and sending them to
Iran for terrorist training to thus influence and spark an “Islamic revolution”
in Bahrain. In this regard a mullah by the name of Sheikh Eisa Ghasem has been
recognized as the leader of this so-called revolution.
In the past
few months the country of Bahrain has apprehended a significant number of
terrorist cell members and confiscated a large amount of explosives and arms,
all sent by Iran. Only in one case in October 2015 a large bomb workshop was
discovered in the Shiite city of Navayderat, south of Manama, the capital of
Bahrain. This workshop belonged to the Quds Force, the extraterritorial wing of
the Revolutionary Guards, Bahraini officials said. This warehouse contained 1.5
tons of C4 and other types of explosives, automatic weapons and hand grenades.
This development led to the expulsion of Iran’s charge d’affaires from Bahrain.
Prior to this Bahrain had recalled its own ambassador from Tehran due to Iran’s
interference in its internal affairs.
In the past
few weeks Bahrain has witnessed a large scope of unrest incited by Iran-backed
Shiites in this country, leading to Bahrain authorities revoking the
citizenship of the main figure behind these unrests, being none other than
Sheikh Eisa Ghasem.
Following
this development Quds Force commander Qassem Suleimani, in command of all the
unrest in the entire region, made harsh remarks and even threatened this “will
create flames of fire in Bahrain.”
On the
other hand, the Iranian regime’s foreign ministry and all officials of this
regime have voiced positions against Bahrain and made similar threats. This
includes other Iranian regime puppets in Iraq that follow the chorus launched
by the Quds Force against Bahrain. This scenario is very similar to the
pro-Iranian regime mullah in Saudi Arabia by the name of Sheikh Nimr.
U.S.
President Barack Obama, who figured the nuclear deal with Iran would render changes
in its approach and behavior, has seen his dreams becoming a nightmare. Not
only has Iran intensified its terrorist nature after the nuclear agreement, in
fact Tehran is forced to escalate its meddling across the region to downgrade
the setbacks suffered from the nuclear agreement.
The
question is why does Iran intervene in the affairs of other countries? The
answer is quite simple. Iran’s meddling in other countries of the region is
aimed at exporting the “Islamic republic revolution,” and therefore expand the
territories under the “Islamic republic” control.
Another
question that comes to mind is that why is Iran attempting to export its
“revolution” to other countries? In my opinion the answer is quite simple. The
main dilemma Iran is facing is that the Iranian people are completely against
the mullahs’ religious establishment. Now, based on the experience the mullahs
have learned from Iranian regime founder Ruhollah Khomeini, this regime needs
to export its “revolution” to quell any possible domestic protest. This is
exactly why Tehran allocates nearly $1 billion a month for the war in Syria.
Here, one
must say to Obama and the entire pro-appeasement camp that as long as they
continue their appeasement policy with Iran, Tehran will easily continue to export
its terrorism and unrest to all countries of the region.
