The Arab media suggested that the decision came after 14 suspects linked to the outlawed group namely “Abdali cell” fled to Iran.
Kuwaiti judiciary had earlier charged 25 of its Shia nationals and an Iranian with spying for Tehran and the Lebanese Hezbollah movement.
Long overdue indeed.
Now the old and childless Sultan of Oman has to pass away before the area is cleaned. Tiny Qatar (US military base) will come to their senses very soon. If not they will be forced to.
What is Kuwait importing from Iran anyway? Pistachios, carpets and cheap labour? Trojan horses obviously.
A death penalty for allegiance to that regime everywhere in the GCC and the entire Arab world (sadly not possibly currently in Syria and Iraq) should be given automatically and the sentence should be carried out within 24 hours. In public. Deportation of family members (if proven compliant) and confiscation of all assets should follow.
If people like me were in power all troublemakers would have been dealt with within a few months one way or another.
Iranian Arabs are treated as trash in Iran despite living in the richest and most historic (Al-Ahwaz) areas of Iran while a country like the UAE is hosting a large Iranian diaspora (second largest in the world in fact). What kind of joke is this? 50.000 or so expats in Kuwait too. Baffles the mind.
Is anyone going to believe that those people's interests lie in the country's of residence? How many spies need to be caught and sentenced or deported before the leaders wake up? There are 500 million + Arabs. Our diaspora is almost as large as the entire Iranian population in Iran and worldwide combined. Why can't we welcome all the many peoples that we have close ties to? Not even fellow Arabs. Especially in times like those.
I rather welcome expats from Paraguay or Bolivia than a hostile population (currently). Mongols. Nigerians. Whatever. If it is really necessary in the small GCC states.
I don't care if Iran is a direct neighbor and that we have close historical ties overall throughout the millennia. Or that people have ties on both sides of the pond. We can't afford to shot ourselves in the foot constantly in a situation like this. Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Southern Lebanon. How many more proofs do those stupid leaders need before they wake up?
At least if the Iranian regime was treating Iranian Arabs well, I would be inclined to do the same (which is in fact the case in the GCC) but that is not even the case.
Saddam Hussein might have been crazy at times but he sure as hell knew (rightly so) who the enemy regimes were/are. All what he said turned out to be true.
