Iran Regime Losing Its Grip on Power Across the Middle East
NCRI Staff
NCRI - There are developments happening across the Middle East and
there are indications that there will be some positive changes. This is
very worrying for Iran because it is profiting from the chaos and
fuelling conflicts so it can take advantage of weaker nations.
In Yemen, more than 85% of the country is back under the control of
the Saudi-backed coalition. However, there are reports that Iran-led
Houthi militias have fired another ballistic missile towards Saudi
Arabia.
The crisis in Syria is showing signs of improvement. Iran is not
happy about this because it is prospering in the midst of the conflict
there.
Iranian regime is dependent on the unrest across the region because
it diverts the international community’s attention away from what is
going on at home.
The crisis in Yemen is making Iranian regime nervous because it is
losing more and more control. However, regime knows that it will look
weak and does not want to show its panic so it is making out that the
major setbacks are insignificant. There have been bloody clashes between
Houthis and the forces that are loyal to the ousted president Ali
Abdullah Salah and Iran’s interests are slipping further and further
from reach.
Iranian regime provides as much support as it can to the Shiite
Houthis, but it is not a simple task. Iran can only really help by
smuggling missile parts and arms into Yemen were the missiles are
assembled to be fired towards Saudi targets.
Iranian regime has invested so heavily in Yemen that it can either
cut its losses and leave or continue the way it is going. Furthermore,
the European Parliament has condemned the missile attacks on Saudi
interests and is calling on Iran to stop backing the Houthis.
Iran is participating in conflicts that it does not need to.
Furthermore, its participation in the form of dubious practices such as
the recruitment of refugees. To make matters even worse, it is
recruiting juveniles. This is a practice that is banned according to
international law, but it does not stop the Iranian regime. Reports of a
13-year old boy fighting on behalf of Iran were circulating social
media last month. He called himself a “defender of the shrine” – a
description used by the Iranian regime for its cannon-fodder.
This is unacceptable and should be condemned by the international
community. This is one reason alone for the EU to stop trading with
Iran. Children of this age should be in school, not in conflict zones.
Iranian regime is losing hegemony and it is struggling to keep a grip
on the power that it has. It is resorting to even more horrific
measures to save face. It desperately wants the land corridor that runs
to Lebanon where its main proxy Hezbollah is located.
It is very clear that the international community needs to intervene
immediately. Now is a good time to do it because it is losing its grip
on power in Syria and in Yemen, and Saudi Arabia is putting Lebanon
under pressure. Its proxies and militias are of such importance that it
would be a big blow to Iran if they were starved of their backer.
