The axis of evil in the region

Published: 07 Apr 2015 - 01:08 am | Last Updated: 15 Jan 2022 - 07:49 pm

This axis includes Iran, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Islamic State and Israel. Each of them is playing a special role according to a plan agreed on under the sponsorship of Israel and the US to achieve the specific aim of destabilising the region. Who believes that IS serves Hezbollah’s agenda in Syria and realises Iran’s aims in Iraq?
The brave action taken by the GCC states to confront the Houthis and end their aggression is right. The move reflecta the solidarity of the Gulf, which we are proud of, and it is also good to see the GCC armies fighting jointly with the armies of other Arab countries a battle against the evil act of the Houthis. I hope similar action is taken in future against IS, which is destabilising the region. The region will not be stable any more in Iran’s game, which has succeeded in controlling Iraq and moved to other countries, as is the case in Yemen. Iran supported the Houthis and is destabilising Bahrain and Syria in collaboration with other parties.
All success to the armies taking part in Operation Storm Resolve, which aims to destroy anyone who wants to affect the security and stability of any Gulf or Arab country. Thanks to the GCC states for lining up to support the operation against the Houthis, and thanks to the pilots executing the operation.
Prince Mohammed Bin Salman is the youngest defence minister leading the war, and this shows that young leaders are efficient and capable of leading. I hope this move will deter anyone living in the GCC countries with an agenda like that of the axis of evil, by driving them out of these countries to finish this malicious ideology.
Resisting such evil thoughts requires from each of the GCC countries to adopt a new strategy for fighting moles planted in these countries or anyone who wants to destabilise our internal security, in particular those living among us who can be used as tools to achieve others’ aims. To be more specific, some of the expatriates trying to spread the ideology of their parties in their communities here must be brought to account.
