Persian Gulf Cooperation Council acts on behlaf of US, pundit says
Kamal Wakim, a Lebanese International University professor, has been interviewed by Press TV about accusations leveled against Iran by the United Arab Emirates.
Wakim said the claims were groundless and such countries as the United Arab Emirates were acting on behalf of the United States to try and instigate instability in Iran. Such countries, the analyst said, acted as “satellite states” in favor of the West, mainly the Unites States and Britain.
Emirati Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan claimed on September 24 during the UN General Assembly’s annual ministerial meeting that Iran was the main sponsor of terrorism and that it was undermining regional security. Iran strongly dismissed the claim as baseless and absurd.
Wakim also stated that member states of the (Persian) Gulf Cooperation Council had become a pawn in moves made by the West to undermine the Islamic Republic.
“When Iran, after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, proclaimed its support to the Arab causes, mainly to the cause of Palestine,” the analyst argued, “these countries supported Saddam Hussein in his war against Iran as part of the efforts by the West and the United States to contain the Islamic Revolution in Iran.”
The (Persian) Gulf Cooperation Council countries are acting upon instructions and orders of their “big brother Saudi Arabia,” Wakim said.
The United Arab Emirates was dragged into the deadly Saudi campaign against Yemen, the commentator said, and it has lost many of its soldiers in the war.
