Saudi Iran Battle Lasts Longer – Lebanese Politics Becoming Complicated and Hot

HRH King Salman and Saad Hariri

The long lasting conflict over the deployment of army to Lebanon due to the acceleration of the support to Hezbollah, the resistance movement, against Riyadh seems to be breaking news headings to boost up people. The insurgency in Gulf is extremely painful to OPEC leaders because of the rise in violence and terrorism. Iran, Saudi Arab, Lebanon and Iraq are involved to generate tension. The racial profiling and communal supremacy are becoming severe to damage the sentiments of people coming from different regions. So, obviously, people must have a parameter to do analysis of the current scenario in Gulf region before drawing the conclusion.

Shia Sunny Battle Becoming Worse

Classic war between Shia and Sunny is not ending. It continues as a number of nations have self interests. They are taking advantages. America and Russia are powerful arms sellers to reinforce Saudi Arab, Iran, and Lebanon .Besides; it is a matter of power bargaining removing rivals from the list to become the main ruler in ME. Well, Saudi Arab is a rich nation. It has gallons of crude oil stored for sale. It has strong economy as well. On the other hand, Iran is a bullet ridden nation. Saddam regime was destructive making people crippled and weak to stand firm on the ground. However, still it slowly came back to normalcy. This nation is also a good participant in oil and gasoline market.

Execution of Nimr-al-Nimr Increases Hostility in Gulf

Now, Shia and Sunny brothers are fighting. They struggle to establish their own existence. The exchange of bullets is not the answer to solve the century old issue. In Iran the percentage of Shia people is big and in Saudi Arab the majority goes to Sunny. With the sudden assassination of Nimr al Nimr, a Shia born cleric, Iran sparkled with venom to backfire to demolish Ryadh royal family. This popular cleric protested that prince of Riyadh was not doing good job to indulge the sectarian violence. Well, few eminent critics and journalists have interesting views in this regard. They call it as a new strategy to subsume different anti-national activities under the banner of anti-Zionism. Men are slaughtered and killed randomly. Houses are being ruined and burnt to ashes. Children are beheaded. Women are seen parading naked in shame. So such pilferage and communal violence spread rapidly to weaken gulf regions to a great extent.

Saudi Can’t Spare Iran - Hezbollah Must Be Removed –Lebanon under Pressure

The Shia Sunny confrontation is not a newly born issue. Frederic Wehrey, an eminent erudite and journalist, is connected with Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to monitor the situation in Persian Gulf. According to him, it is not a fake war to control various communities. Nor is it a temporary solution for both Iran and Saudi Arab to regulate Shia and Sunny groups. Nimr al Nimr was executed because of many reasons. Saudi Arab wanted to minimize the internal insurgency or domestic violence. People should not condemn royal family members for closeness with US to handle terrorists. Secondly, Prince of Riyadh wants to increase his political influence to dominate. On one hand, by killing this Shia cleric, he tries to tighten up the lips of few factional Sunny leaders who blame Prince for inflaming vandalism by calling US force to wipe out ISIS rats. So, definitely it is a matured plan to have control over the vast area showcasing muscle power. Iran is not stopped.

Proxy War in Gulf

The shadow battle seems to have speed after the declaration of war against Lebanon following the new deals of Iran to give a solid backup to Hezbollah to die for the noble cause. Joined force will attack hidden hideouts manipulated by ISIS militants. Saudi Arab denies any link with those nations which are found dining with Hezbollah. Lebanon must learn that Saudi Arab is not a simple dotard and imbecile. It has the army with long range missiles to hit Lebanon for destruction. Hezbollah has built up strong fortes and it has the tie-up with national defense for resistance. The death of Nirm al Nimr is only an example. In future, Saudi Arab will not backtrack in stress and fear. It will dare to behead more accused persons and rebels if needed.

Lebanese Prime Minister Resigned –Iran Needs to Be Stopped

On Saturday last, the news flashed announcing the sudden replacement of Saad al-Hariri, Prime Minister of Lebanon. He resigned himself to have relief. He supports Sunnis. Riyadh has designed a hidden plan to negotiate with this former prime minister. Saudi wants to intervene in Lebanon owing to the creation of political tension. Hariri lambasted Iran for spoon feeding Hezbollah to enter into the politics of Lebanon. Saudi Arab has had congratulated Hariri for his confession. In this way, Saudi is chalking out futuristic plans to suppress Iranian influence on Gulf region. Iranian backed militia communities have got victory in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. Saudi is anxious over the gradual increase in the supremacy of Iran allied force. Riyadh has therefore changed the schemes to launch frequent air strikes and missile attacks to destabilize Hezbollah led government.

Conclusion

Abdul -Malik Badreddin Al-Houthi -Leader of Zaidi Revolution Yemen 

Hariri went to Riyadh after submitting his resignation letter.

Houti rebels in Yemen are getting maximum support from Iran. It is becoming a tough battle. Riyadh will not spare this Houti militia for cross border pacification. The interference of third party may be bright in case Iran and Riyadh are not agreed to sit for discussion. Shia Sunny tug-of-war will have new shape in the event of the commencement of cold war.
