Iran... an ignorant and hateful heart toward Arabs

Useful Summary

A king who ruled a region stretching from Hungary to Germany and adhered to the Catholic faith sought to impose this religion on other European regions. This ignited the spark of sectarian war in Europe in 1618, which lasted for thirty years, devastating the continent’s center. Europe endured years of religious and ethnic conflicts during this period, fueled by the reckless sectarian system. Exhaustion eventually gripped the nations, with no clear victor emerging. After millions perished, Europeans recognized their grave errors. Each country resolved not to impose its religious creed on other European nations, setting Europe on a path toward a better future. A law was enacted criminalizing the use of hateful and bigoted language, ensuring the continent’s security and peace.

Iran has followed a similar foreign policy by stoking sectarian fervor and hate speech since its 1979 revolution. Anyone reading Iran’s foreign policy finds it to be hostile.

Iran has publicly declared that it follows a peaceful policy, yet it also asserts its right to “militarily enter Kuwait to protect the House of [Prophet Muhammad], and to overthrow the regimes of Gulf states,” as stated by Mohammad Karim Abadi, a member of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, on June 28, 2015. Another possible method of espionage occurred on March 14, 2015, when an unidentified unmanned aircraft hovered over sensitive sites in Kuwait for several minutes before heading toward territorial waters, raising questions: Where did it come from, who piloted it, and why?

On November 10 of the same year, it returned to fly, this time over a military brigade in the north of the country, lingering in the airspace for more than fifteen minutes before disappearing. On September 14, 2019, a drone approached from the sea, came close to the shore of Al-Bid’ah, turned on its searchlight, hovered over Dar Salwa Palace, and then proceeded into the city of Kuwait.

We are not surprised that Iran stands behind these incidents. The American magazine *Foreign Policy* published an article on August 23, 2013, noting that there is an airfield on Qeshm Island, near the Strait of Hormuz, which allows for the launch of unmanned drones capable of monitoring and attacking ships transiting the strait with missiles. This view is reinforced by the fact that these acts are “espionage-related,” such as Bahrain’s discovery of an Iranian spy drone north of the country in May 2015. Bahrain’s Interior Minister, Lieutenant General Sheikh Rashid bin Khalifa, described this act as “hostile,” reflecting Iran’s insistence on interfering in the internal security affairs of regional states to undermine their security and stability. Thus, Iran’s policies have been hostile toward Gulf countries for a long time.

Iran did not limit itself to spying on our country; it also smuggled drugs inside fish on December 2, 2020, which were seized by Kuwaiti authorities. Drugs were also seized inside Iranian sweets and nuts on April 25, 2014, within a shipment of animal feed on August 6, 2025, and inside a shipment of vegetables. Furthermore, Iran’s involvement in the “Abdali” terrorist cell has been established by legal ruling.

Thus, while Gulf countries wish well for all peoples, Iran pursues its hostile policies. We advised its leadership to learn from history’s lessons to gain wisdom, develop, and improve the living standards of its people. However, over the past few weeks, it has continued to launch drones and missiles against our peaceful, secure country and Gulf states, under the pretext that they host a US military base.

Iran has not stopped at this; it has also instructed the Houthis in Yemen to threaten navigation in the Bab al-Mandab strait, causing harm to the world and inflicting customs losses on Egypt. We hope for the overthrow of its tyrannical regime as soon as possible. There are many historical examples of peoples toppling their dictators: the Romanian people overthrew Ceaușescu, the Zimbabwean people overthrew Mugabe, the Filipino people overthrew Marcos, and the Central African Republic’s president Bokassa was also ousted. In Africa, many leaders remain in power for extended periods, with presidential changes occurring only through the overthrow of their rule; one successor follows another, perpetuating backwardness. The examples are numerous.

The living conditions of Iranians have deteriorated, and Arab states have suffered under this Iranian regime, which engages in military adventures reminiscent of the Middle Ages and harbors an envious, racist heart toward all Arabs. Iran then proceeds to bomb Kuwait with drones and missiles, under the pretext of an American military base that had not even initiated hostilities against it. We call for the overthrow of this wicked and detestable Iranian regime.
