This is with reference to the article “Why Yemen is important” (Aug. 28) by Rasheed Abou-Alsamh. It would be difficult to resolve the Yemen issue without ensuring Iran’s non-interference in the impoverished Arab country.
It is no longer a secret that Iran is actively taking part in most of the conflicts in the Arab world. Of course, it is not making efforts for the resolution of the conflicts. It is trying to take advantage of the political and security situation to change the regional balance of power in its interest. The United States and its western allies only pay lip service when it comes to the Iranian dirty game in the region. It has become evident that Iran is playing a double game in the region. It is simultaneously dealing with the United States and Russia, traditional global rivals.
Tehran is using its nuclear deal with the US and its allies to promote its interests in the region. The nuclear deal is nothing but a mere eyewash. The US is trying to give an impression as if it has reined in Tehran by signing the agreement. We all know that most of the Iranian claims about the advancement of its nuclear programs are just part of its propaganda campaign. Basically, the West signed a deal with Iran over something that does not even exist. The West’s newfound love toward Iran is beyond comprehension. In addition to this nuclear issue, Iran is continuously meddling in the affairs of the Arab world, due to which the wars in the region have been prolonged. The West has turned a blind eye toward Iran and does not appear to take any action against this rogue state, which is bent on establishing its hegemony in the region. — G. L. Khan, Jubail
