Iranian neighbor

We differ with Iran, a lot or a little, but we cannot get rid of it, and it cannot get rid of us. We are Arabs, and among us are nationalities by citizenship: Kurds, Circassians, Chechens, Amazighs, Africans, Muslims, Christians, Sunnis and Shiites. Iran also has multiple nationalities and diverse sects.

The challenge imposed on us, and on the Iranian state, is how to search for the common denominators that unite us, and there are many of them. If we examine them, take care of them, and implement them, we will find that our differences can be controlled, reduced, and coexisted with.

There is Iranian infiltration between our pores, and the reason is that we have internal diseases, which make it possible for any party to infiltrate, interfere, or benefit from them, to serve its interests. This is happening with Turkey, and this is happening with Ethiopia, three large, powerful countries surrounding the Arab world. We need to build equal, equal relations with them based on preserving the common interests that intersect between us, and what applies to Iran applies to the two neighboring countries: Turkey and Ethiopia.

Iran is a powerful country, exposed to conspiracies, intrigues and planning by the Israeli colony for two fundamental reasons:

The first is that it is a state that rejects the policies and approach of the colony, and believes in the right of the Palestinian people to liberate their land and homeland, and the return of refugees to the cities and villages from which they were expelled in 1948.

The second is that it provides support and backing to the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance factions, and all the Arab parties, factions and groups in Iraq, Yemen and Somalia that are hostile to the occupation and colonialism.

Therefore, we have an interest in being with Iran in one trench against the colony, without this being at the expense of our national security, or our national relations, or allowing it to interfere in the internal affairs of our Arab countries. We must look at the experience of Saudi Arabia with respect, how it was able to restore relations with Tehran through Chinese mediation and succeeded in doing so. There is no doubt that Saudi Arabia has a relatively new and advanced approach, and its position on the colony and normalization is nothing but a reflection of this advanced national position by linking relations with the colony, according to the decisions of the Beirut Arab Summit in 2002, which laid out the peace initiative as a roadmap, through which it confirmed the appropriate formula that there are no relations with the colony except by acknowledging and recognizing the right of the Palestinian people to their independent state, on the land of their homeland.

Netanyahu's statements about the Palestinian state on Saudi Arabian soil demonstrate his narrow-mindedness and failure, and confirm the credibility of the Saudi position regarding the relationship with the colony within the equation of the Arab Peace Initiative: that there is no relationship with the colony without the rights of the Palestinian people in their independent state.

Iran celebrates its national day, and as we look at it with interest, we, as observers and followers, hope that it deserves to be with it in one trench in confronting the Israeli colony, and in confronting its aggressive expansionist programs in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and other Arab countries, as it works with the help of the United States to have a position of superiority at the expense of the Arabs. From here, the importance of building Arab relations with various international parties such as China, Russia, and Europe emerges, as well as with the neighboring Arab countries of Turkey, Ethiopia, and the vast expanse in the Islamic world, and the countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
