Iran Saudi Military Alliance? The United States is in a hurry: This goes against reason. UAE | Iran | United States

Release time:Apr 13, 2024 20:26 PM

Senior Iranian military leaders recently announced that they will form a new naval alliance with Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, as well as India and Pakistan. In response, the US responded that this move was "contrary to reason.".

According to an exclusive report by the US "Breakthrough Line of Defense" website on June 3, a US military official told the website that Iran's claim that Tehran will soon establish a naval alliance with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries is "unreasonable".

According to reports, Tim Hawkins, spokesperson for the US Fifth Fleet and Joint Maritime Forces, said, "Iran is the number one factor causing regional unrest. Its claim to want to form a naval security alliance to protect the waters it threatens is unreasonable."

Hawkins said, "Action is important, so we are working with our partners to strengthen defense around the Strait of Hormuz."

Earlier on the 3rd, media reports related to the Iranian government reported that Iranian Navy Commander Shahram Irani stated that Iran, Saudi Arabia, and three other Gulf countries - the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Bahrain - plan to form a naval alliance that will also include Iraq, India, and Pakistan.

According to the analysis of the report, the remarks of this Iranian military officer will definitely arouse suspicion from the US Fifth Fleet stationed in Bahrain, as this means that not only will the relationship between Iran and Saudi Arabia sharply heat up, enough to form a military alliance, but the long-term hostile India and Pakistan will also engage in close cooperation on the high seas.

The report also mentioned that a few days before Iran announced this news, there had already been a headache inducing issue for the United States. The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that the country has withdrawn from the United States led joint maritime force in the Gulf region. Although the United States denies this claim, it has also been questioned by some observers.

"Abu Dhabi is clearly dissatisfied with the United States. Therefore, this is their way of conveying dissatisfaction to the United States. In my opinion, this is all a political issue," said Bilal Saab, director of the Defense and Security Program at the US Institute for Middle East Studies

According to a report on the website of Israel's Jerusalem Post on June 3rd, Iran's move is aimed at incorporating Saudi Arabia and other countries into a naval alliance in the Indian Ocean, which seems to be an attempt to encourage US partners to cooperate with Iran.

Analysis suggests that Iran has previously cooperated with China and Russia, but its new initiative may be an attempt to exploit reports of the United Arab Emirates withdrawing from the US led joint maritime force.

On June 3rd, the German news television channel website reported that Iran's statement was released after a recent settlement between former rivals Iran and Saudi Arabia. Experts say that the reconciliation between the two countries has led to significant strategic changes in the region.

According to reports, after naval exercises with Russia and China in March, Iranian military officers have announced that they will bring other countries into the alliance. Faced with international sanctions, Iran has expanded its partnership with Russia and China.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
