I see US and NATO behind this claim from UAE to get strategic locations out of Iran's hands, otherwise they wouldnt know where to find these 3 islands in the Persian Gulf. There is unfortunately a disease in the heart of some people living south of the Persian Gulf, they have this obsession they want to feed
if they are rich through paying Westerns to build skyscrapers and expensive cars and fancy airplanes, making indoor sky resorts and etc.
if they are poor through blowing up themselves at a meeting in another country.
as regards to Iranians submitting toward Mecca, it's a matter of religion and you shouldn't take credit, in fact you should sit down and ponder (not that you are capable of doing such hard task!) why God had to send His best and last Prophet among you guys and not in another nation, doesn't this show the urgency of the problem that still to a great extent exists in you ?
Yes, Persia was defeated by neighboring powers throughout the history BUT Persia was the biggest empire and losing land and gaining it again happened all through the time for all powers and there is nothing to be ashamed of. On the other hand it's interesting to note why no one was ever interested to enter that huge junk of desert !!
If you look at Lebanon, Iran intervened and brought peace to that country, Shia,Sunni,Christians all friends with each other after 60 years of meddling by Saudi,Iraq's Ba'ath party,Libya, Soviets,France, and the US. Look at Lebanon now, there is peace. Look at Iraq, Sunni and Shia people living peacefully together ( except Al-Saud funded Al-Qaedas blowing up Shia and Sunnin neighborhoods in turn to create a conflict).
Once oil runs out, in a decade or two, Wahhabism will tear Saudi apart as there will be no oil, no industry, no science, to generate wealth to run terrorists cells. These terrorist wahhabis will have to burn their towers,cars and airplanes to warm themselves up during desert's nights.
We can see both ideologies at work in the news ,Iran sending bio-capsule into space, Al-Saud sending terrorists to Syria,Lebanon, Afghanistan,Pakistan, and the whole world.
Iran has been there for Muslims and Christians whether in Bosnia,Afghanistan,Venezuela,Iraq,Lebanon,Sudan, Syria and .... . But Al-Saud as always been there to blow up people around the globe.
There is no problem among Iranians and Arabs but some terrorist fanatics try to hide behind Arab identity and remedy their jealousy towards Iran.
