'Impotent' but to Witness Iran's Ascent to Dominance
"Iran
will be gradually integrated into the geostrategic machinery that the U.S.
seeks to constitute in order to guarantee its continued control over the energy
riches of the region. …
In this 'great game' that
prevails in their region, the Arab States will end up the big losers."

Iranian regime is unsavory.
Its leaders aren't respectable even to the eyes of the most lukewarm democrat.
That being said, it's important not treat them like unrealistic idealists who
don't know what they want.
Since its inception, the
Islamic Republic of Iran has worked with rare persistence and perseverance to do
what it had to do to establish itself as a regional power and ultimately a significant
player in the international arena. These two objectives have been achieved
regardless of the outcome of the crisis involving Iran and its nuclear
ambitions. Hence forward in the Middle East, any agreement aimed at pacifying
and stabilizing the situation will be obliged to pass through Tehran.
The entire Arab world is impotent
but to witness Iran's ascent to power - to the point of timidly seeking the
umbrella of the West and Israel - and paying any price to reach a compromise
with them. As a result, we must dispense with Western depictions of Iranian
leaders as the inveterate negotiators and talkers of the “international
community.” This is not the view of diplomats and embassies in this part of the
world, where our people skills and “finesse” have been smashed by the deft
maneuvering and pragmatism of these Iranian leaders.

Alongside Israel and Turkey,
Iran is now a dominant power in this region and beyond in the direction of Central
Asia.
This status will mean that Iran
will be gradually integrated into the geostrategic machinery that the United
States seeks to constitute in order to guarantee its continued control over the
energy riches of the region, with local gendarmes to "contain" the
terrorist nuisance.

Some would contend that
conflicting reports about ties between the Zionist state and the Iranian Mullahs
negate the likelihood of such a scenario. But it only appears so due to the lack of “trust” in the pragmatism of Teheran's holders of power. The
“hatred” they have developed for the Zionist state, which is only for domestic
and Arab-Muslim consumption, is neither doctrinal nor
eternal. It is therefore prone to disappear in exchange for a consideration of the interests
of concern to the mullahs and the Persian nation. The “Iran-Gate Scandal"
[aka the Iran-Contra
Scandal] in the 1980s showed that when their national interests converge,
Israel and the Islamic Republic of Iran are able to transcend their supposedly
irreconcilable antagonisms.
In
a notable show of unity and verbal resolve, President Obama, along
with
British Prime Minister Brown and French President Sarkozy, arrive to
make
a statement on Iran's admission that it has built another uranium
enrichment
facility, during the G-20 summit in Pittsburgh, Sept. 25.

In this “great game” that
prevails in their region, the Arab States will end up the big losers. For both the
United States and the West as well as for Israel and Iran, it is our nations
that are the problem in the Middle East rather than actors that can contribute
to a solution.
It is within this context
that we will need to decipher the evolution of Teheran’s relations with the
“international community” in the weeks and years ahead.
