The Iranian regime brought sanctions upon its country when it deviated from the normal political conduct of nations and resolved to implement a plan full of delusions built on sectarian myths, which are incompatible with the Islamic world and unacceptable to the international community. The regime has failed more than once to achieve its illusory model. Today, in light of the developments since Feb 28, the Iranian regime finds itself facing an increasingly angry international community that will not tolerate any sabotage. Iran’s threat to energy supplies has united the world against it.
The threatening language adopted by the Iranian regime is directed more at its domestic audience than the international community, but it understands that threats will not change the facts. The crisis has entered a phase of maximum pressure on the global economy and has exacerbated the suffering of the Iranian people. Unfortunately, while the Iranian regime was spending billions supporting sectarian proxies, it neglected its own people, causing the suffering of more than 90 million citizens.
On the contrary, when it was able to intervene in Syria, it deluded itself into thinking it could change the culture and beliefs of the Syrian people and mold them to its advantage. Therefore, with the fall of the regime of Bashar al-Assad, the horrific reality in Damascus, historically known as the beating heart of Arabism, began to unfold. Lebanon fared no better. The sectarianism practiced by pro- Iranian groups eroded its national resilience and deepened divisions in this country, which is considered the ‘barometer of the region’.
Thus, the sectarian rhetoric employed in Lebanon since 1979 has fueled the flames of sectarianism in the region and contributed to the rise of extremist and terrorist groups. Today, the Iranian regime is like a cursed ant, following the recent developments in Iraq, the insistence of the Baghdad government to disarm the militias loyal to Tehran with the approval of all religious authorities, the fall of the Assad regime, the weakening of Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the awakening of southern Lebanon whose people found themselves living through a major catastrophe.
Today, all that remains for the Iranian regime is the Houthi group, a veritable dung beetle, which is trying to play the role assigned to it, but the Houthi group is breathing its last. The end is near, as the crippling economic blockade on Iran tightens. The leaders of the Iranian regime are scrambling for short-term gains to escape when the time comes. They are certain that public accountability is coming sooner than later. Everyone must prepare for the day after the fall of the Iranian regime to begin sustainable development in the region and to rid themselves of all the consequences caused by this evil regime over the past five decades.
