The latest Iranian government statement issued by Hossian Shariat Madari, a high-ranking Iranian official and editor of the ultra right wing Keyhan paper, which claims that Bahrain is just another province of Iran, has highlighted again the Iranian desire to invade neighbouring countries.
In response many Bahrainis went on to the streets with Iranian flags painted with the Nazi symbol and shouted “Iran leave us alone.” It is well known that the Iranian government is investing hugely in the Bahraini Shia majority to establish Islamic government and destabilise this island...
The event displayed so much tension that the Iranian foreign secretary, Manochehr Motaki, went to Bahrain to calm the situation.
A few months ago, the former Iranian Consul General in Dubai, Adel Assadinia, in an interview with the Sunday Telegraph, warned that Iran has lots of sleeping cells in Arab countries. He also said:
“Were America or Israel to attack Iran, such cells would be instructed to foment long-dormant sectarian grievances and attack the extensive American and European business interests in wealthy states such as Dubai and Saudi Arabia. Such a scenario would bring chaos to the Gulf, one of the few areas of the Middle East that remains prosperous and has largely pro-Western governments.
“Allegations of Iranian agents operating in the Gulf have surfaced before, but it is rare for them to be spelt out in detail by a former regime official. Mr Assadinia named a hospital in Dubai - which The Sunday Telegraph has not identified for legal reasons - as one place where many doctors and nurses also worked for Iranian intelligence.”
The Iranian threat to Bahrain is like the former Iraqi leader Saddam Husain’s threat to Kuwait, which one day he carried out when he surprised the world by attacking Kuwait.
Another interesting point is that Hossian Shariat Madari who is an ultra Islamist and who is alleged to have been present and taking part during various Iranian intelligence service interrogations of political activist in Tehran is banging on the same drum as other right wing Iranian royalists. This shows that there is not much difference between Iranian Islamist extremists and royalists when it came to invading neighbouring countries.
In fact the Islamic government of Iran for nearly thirty years have always insisted that Iranians share the same blood as Aryans and Germans.
Also Hossian Shariat Madari accused Britain of separating Bahrain from Iran. All this shows that the presence of international forces is obviously necessary in the Arabian Gulf. Without them Kuwait would still be in the hands of Saddam Husain, as Ahwaz is still occupied by Iranian forces.
