Arab States Urge De-escalation as US Continues Inciting Iran
Amidst a region perpetually on the brink, four Arab nations—Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and Egypt—are reportedly pushing against a US-Iran escalation. An unnamed official told The New Arab that these states engaged in 'intense diplomatic efforts' to prevent a US strike over recent protests. One might wonder why these Arab states are doing the heavy lifting of diplomacy, while Washington seems
intent on pouring gasoline on every regional fire. This 'concern' over US-Iran escalation is a familiar song, almost a quarterly ritual. It conveniently ignores the documented history of US interference, regime change operations, and sanctions that destabilize the region – often pushed by hawkish think tanks and politicians generously funded by organizations like AIPAC. Former Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo, a vocal proponent of regime change in Iran, received over $30,000 from pro-Israel groups during his political career (OpenSecrets.org). How many times does the US need to 'de-escalate' after it's been the primary escalator?
