Iran between Syria and the Houthis!!
Al-Riyadh's Editorial
Published in Alriyadh on 21 - 07 - 2012

Mullahs, politicians & leaders of Iran are dominated by a hysteria in which illusion mingles with self adventure. They have believed themselves that they constitute the inspiration behind the Arab revolutions which burst out of the womb of the revolution womb of Khomeini whose trace should be followed. They have tried to run after the mirage through sending envoys and presenting invitations which aim at stating that Iran is the hub around which all the new changes in the Arab Spring are revolving.
To reach a general understanding about the international relationships built on certain interests, from one side, and those who seek to overwhelm the others through an illusionary power as a replacement of the flexible diplomacy that exceeds the complex of ethnicity & sect; we need o know that Iran tried to penetrate the Arab wall by stating that it represents the source of revolutions while facts contradict such sort of thinking.
Iran's revolution had been led by the Mullahs against a traditional monarchy while Arabs revolutions have burst against officers from the military who took control of the power through the barracks and have been led by young men who do not belong to a (political) trend or party. Even though these revolutions have been kidnapped (used) by the Islamists due to that they are the most organized party and the most able to affect the public and gain their voting, their erection is related to young men who do not even the name of Al-Khomeini.
Iran gained its ally with Syria due to that Syria represents the umbilical cord in the Arab region but the problem of this relationship was that it has been built on limited sectarianism that declares hostility to the west & asks for ending the state of peace with Israel in spite of that Iran had been intertwined with the Israeli policy during Khomeini time and has been so after his time, too. As Syria revolves and gets affected by its Arab hub; it has been included in the storm of Arab revolutions. This inclusion was like a great and even killing shock to Iran & Hezbollah due to that the Alawites they support were against the revolution. This confirms that Iran did not influence or even inspire the Arabs through its revolution and that the Arab revolutions are not related to Iran in any way. Syria represents the most prominent witness in this regard.
The Iranian Mullahs are wondering in regard to what they should do now. Shall they go far in the Syrian crisis or shall they look for another outlet. At this stage; they started to draw a plan by which they can overwhelm the Houthis in Yemen as a substitution to Syria, where they need to provide a financial and military support to lead this work to success. This relation has been built years ago. In spite of the contradiction between the "Zaidis" and the Iranian "Twelver Shiism," the Houthis considered that this relationship represents an outlet for them for establishing their Shiite state. Matters in general are not heading towards the direction wished by Iran as the Yemeni revolution has changed the whole features where the conflict has not become between some tribes and sects, from one side, and the previous government, from the other side, any more. It is a lacuna that may not be able to justify the Houthis' Jaffari trend as long as the tribal and sectarian formation intersects with this new sect in Yemen's history.
Targeting Yemen by Iran aims at surrounding The Kingdom (K. S. A.) and other G. C. C. countries from the south in a way that makes Iraq another surrounding point due to its subjection to Iran. However, the condition is different is Syria or the other Arab countries that Iran tried to pull to its yard. Iran discovered that the barriers there are bigger than the sectarian concept due to that the political formulas have been turned upside down where the player, whether a Super or Regional power, has become facing a public confrontation that limits the authorities' power for making deals. In Iran's case, the issue is a sectarian one under a national Persian cover. This Arab general awareness constituted a shock to Iran, in addition to the international embargo it is subjected to which led its maneuvers to be a mere dream lost with the mirage of the Arabian Desert.
