The Dallah Has Fallen Out of Coverage
Speaking with the Iranians, particularly their Revolutionary Guards, is not done with a cool head, but with a language marked by considerable firmness, because the repeated aggression against our country is not merely a harsh political stance; it reflects the malign disposition that governs Persian behavior toward Gulf states, including Kuwait. On Kuwaiti soil, Hormuz, the Persian commander who fled from the forces of Khalid ibn al-Walid in the Battle of Kazima—known as the “Battle of the Baskets”—was broken.
In Kuwait, there is no distinction between citizen and land; they are molded from the same essence. Thus, when we speak of a Kuwaiti, we are referring to a spirit forged in resilience. Throughout history, since the founding of this state four centuries ago, when hardship was translated into mutual solidarity among people, even in the minutest daily details, this spirit has endured.
The ordeal of braving the seas for a livelihood soaked in the suffering of separation, along with life’s hardships, and the taming of the desert in all its harshness to become an oasis of safety—this is why Kuwait has served as a refuge for all who sought safety, security, and peace of mind.
Therefore, Kuwait is not merely land that can be violated, nor a weak people whom anyone can affront. This land and its people are twin pillars of defiance and unyielding resolve, as well as wisdom that can level mountains.
The people of Kuwait are not an easy prey for a malicious neighbor who conceals his true intentions behind a facade of sheep’s clothing, yet is a cunning wolf. He knows that no matter how he disguises himself in forms of power, he is weaker than dust scattered by the wind of truth and the steadfastness of peoples in the face of falsehood.
The Iranian enemy has departed, and for a long time, his side has not been secure. Therefore, dealing with him is akin to handling a desert snake; its fangs and venom can only be neutralized through Gulf cohesion and steadfast resistance, especially as it is today more faltering than ever before.
This is land that, if touched by adversity, produces among its sons heroes; if targeted by an arrow, its arrows strike the heart of the enemy, while its people raise from their hearts fluttering banners to defend it. We are a people who, despite our gentleness, are stern in confronting those who attempt to harm us. Thus, Iran must respect neighborhood and not rely on the injustice of geography, as that benefits it. Its slogans about good neighborliness are nothing but throwing dust in the eyes.
Whoever unleashes chaos in this region must bear its consequences, meaning they will rebound upon him. The one who brews poison must taste it himself, and sectarian slogans and others will not avail him. In the end, he is the loser.
Thus, we say to the Iranian enemy: You have made missiles and drones the subject of your dialogue with neighboring states, and with Kuwait in particular. But you do not know that we are not among those who bow their heads. We are like palm trees, raising our spirits high whenever storms intensify; dust does not break us. You are the dust of this era; our resolve will scatter you as nothingness in this desert. Kuwait has a Lord who protects it, a people who do not yield, and a capacity for challenge far greater than your mountains. Therefore, do not challenge Kuwait and its mighty people. Steadfastness and victory are not measured by small size or few in number, but by unyielding will.
