I am actually trying to be as neutral as possible despite my negative views on Wahabism as such. But i must admit that there are some things about Iran I like. Iran is perhaps the only country to stand beside the Palestinians though I do not support its role in Syria to support a regime killing its own people. They have also successfully defied Israel and the US. That is a strong foreign policy I see. I am also sympathetic to an Iran with a nuclear weapon though I do not claim they are trying to procure one. US has nukes and occupies 2 countries close to Iran. Israel has nuclear weapons which even arab countries do not protest despite fighting some wars with them. They are tolerated as a nuclear power.
Thanks for reminding me as I may seem close to Iran but I hope to play a neutral role on this forum. Neither too close to Iran nor with Saudia, sometimes I fail. Pakistan has to guard her own interests and we cannot fall to the same shia sunni hatred in Saudia and Iran. We have a responsibility to our shia minority too to secure their interests and if they say no war in Yemen I am ready to stand by them. I believe Saudi is behaving childishly. I don't see the role of the center of the islamic world as many Saudi's see themselves to be involved in a brutal sectarian war instead of leaving things up to the people. The role of an Islamic core state would be to diffuse tensions instead of exacerbating them. Iran is behaving poorly in Syria the gulf states in Yemen. Thats how I personally see things.
But anyone can have any opinion, its just about how they put it...
Regarding Iran supporting every weak side but why Syria? I should say... First when peaceful demonstrations started... Iranians went to Damascus advising Bashar to reform ... he never thought he must do it quick... he did reformed what people wanted in first place but then suddenly , hundreds of people asked for a REGIME CHANGE!! that now turned out in Hilary clintons diary book that it was all supported and provoked by Anti- Resistance allies... Then back at that time, Iran and Syria signed (a few years back in 2006 If I,m not wrong)... Iran and Syria agreed to support each other as they did when Saddam invaded Iran... Iran took an oath to stay committed to any outside threats to Syria... When the weapons arrived to Syrian soil and serious wars started... Iran sent many convoys to Damascus to control the issue,... At that time, Iran even pushed Bashar to reform more and more... the more bashar asked protesters to negotiate and discuss what they want they more they local war flamed up... After a few month that both Iran and Russia seen this is not a simple civil protest, they started to consider pushing bashar to resign and start a new government by applying what opposition wanted... this negotiations lasted so long that Takfiri DAESH and AL Nosrah with the help of West, Turkey, Saudi and other GCC (excluding Oman) emerged...and then after they have seen what Takfiris are doing...both Iran and Russia and China decided to keep protecting the BAshar legitimate government becoz falling bashar would empty the field for Takfiris (exactly when they started to show eating liver on camera)... This problem was even bigger than Bashar and reforms... This was the case that even USA became convinced that between choosing Takfiris and Bashar Government, they definitely must take Bashar side..as he is very good to Christians and it is a secular system...
The problem went worse when Saudi and Qatari and Turks pumped billions of dollars and all different sorts of weapons to ISIS and Al Nosrah... now, they were acting daring with good fighting abilities (due to the experiences of Ba,athi regime officers and Chechnian fighters taking the lead)...
Iran is ready to push Bashar to resign even today if they can control the danger of Takfiris first... even many Iranian MPs and other seniors were talking about a political resolution with moderate peaceful opposition parties...which was helf in Moscow last week to no avail of course...
Iran can not afford to lose an Anti- Israel ally... a tolerant ally that fight Takfiris who only serve Israel as they are in israeli hospitals getting aerial support from them.... Iran can not just afford it... Iran is now regretting why she did not suppressed Takfiris in Syria more seriously... As it is trying to offset it by helping Iraq more seriously fighting ISIS....
Iran has some wrong doings too as any other country that follows its interests...but believe me brother... If we are fair, we realize that Iran is only supporting and empowering Shias who were suppressed for decades... Iran never helps a shia group unless they ask for help... second, when it comes to Islam.. she supports whoever the resistance group is as Hamas and Jahad Eslami in Palestine are Sunni...
Only if our Arab and Muslim brothers were wise enough to let aside minor differences and focus on our major similarities then Islam would be the no.1 power in world in a way that we colonize West (not in reality... just saying!)
Whenever Iran goes, she tries to empower those people by helping them both in weapons to defend themselves, in production, infrastructure and rebuilding, education... Saudis must die in shame calling Yemenis their beloved brothers and yet letting them starve to death... yet bombing them with an empty excuse!! legitimate president!! why they didn,t not act in favor of legitimate Morsi in Egypt?? It is full of bs when I see Saudi leaders justify their invasion and killing thousands of mostly innocent children and women... ring any bells?? yes, Israel did the same with defenseless Qaza Muslims
I personally see Bashar as no fit for presidency anymore after all these dead tolls... The syrian moderate opposition must make ally with Bashar to clean ISIS and Al Nosrah and then Bashar resign and let a free election take place...this is the only solution in my eyes... UN must take the oath of Bashar that after eliminating Takfiris he will resign and will help build a new syria with all Syrians...sometimes, that I see innocent children in Syria or Iraq killing by both sides fires... I cry for long... but how could we help other than... helping Islam grow stronger..technologically... scientifically... convincing Takfiri minds to come to the humanity arms again... what can we do but to pray for peace...
