US Phantom in ME Continues as Schemes Carry On

Once again the United States of America operates a scheme to paralyze Iran from carrying on its truth-seeking policy. This time, the US laid its hands on the most sensitive spot on the region; the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

In an attempt to avoid any sign of stability in the Middle East and Arab-Islamic region, the US wrote a new scenario in which it accused Iran of plotting the assassination of Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Washington.
Questions were in the air, and tension grew after glimpse of a possible over-all regional reconciliation.

Researcher and expert in Iranian affairs, Mr. Mohammad Sadeq al-Husseini believes that the latest US scheme is a comedy play which fails to gain the belief of anyone, even those who have roles in it.

In an interview with moqawama.org, al-Husseini affirmed, "The aim from this scenario on one hand is to escape to the front after the grave failure they faced in Syria".
On this level, he recalled a US plot to attack Syria through Turkey and other allies in the region, during the past month of Ramadan, however the month ended and they didn't reach any result.

"On another hand, there is a more important issue. There were signs of a true Iranian-Saudi reconciliation in the region through Kuwaiti mediation, in addition to an Iranian readiness to solve the dispute regarding the Iranian-Kuwaiti-Saudi continental shelf", al-Husseini further stated.

He also added, "The meeting to discuss this issue was supposed to be held within the upcoming days. This helped in hastening the US scenario to prevent Saudi Arabia from accepting such reconciliation, because it would have embarrassed Saudi Arabia, had the scenario occurred after an agreement".
Moreover, al-Husseini went on to say that if Saudi-Iranian reconciliation was sealed, then Saudi Arabia would provide Iran with an appropriate position to gain a solution for the Bahraini issue, on the level of regional efforts, which wouldn't serve the US.

Commenting on the Saudi status in this scenario, the expert in Iranian affairs noted, "Unfortunately, once again Saudi Arabia fell into the US trap. It was first driven into an unsuitable battle against Syria after it lost the premiership in Lebanon, and neglected the S-S (Syrian-Saudi) golden equation". Al-Husseini referred to the said equation, saying that the Lebanese, Syrian nations and other popular groups in the region had acknowledged its importance back then.
"Once again Saudi Arabia proved that it does not have the necessary level of wisdom needed to surpass the US schemes", Mohammad Sadeq al-Husseini further told moqawama.org.

About any possible future development in the Saudi-Iranian relation, al-Husseini stressed, "Of course Iran will never abandon building normal relations with all neighboring countries; and Saudi Arabia comes on the top of the list. The condition is that Saudi Arabia should meet its responsibility and draw borders with Washington".

Confirming that the US scenario is nothing but a scheme, al-Husseini strictly reaffirmed, "There was an announcement, known to the Saudis, Iranians, Kuwaitis, and even the Americans, that a meeting was to be held in Kuwait. Such a scenario sabotages the meeting, and in this case, the first party affected is Saudi Arabia".

"Iranians have never been involved in any assassination of an Arab or Muslim figure, unless the fabricator of this scenario considers that the Saudi and "Israeli" embassies are on the same rank", referring that Iran's only enemy is the "Israeli" enemy.
"This is very confusing, because the scenario claimed that the one who planned the operation wanted to bomb both the Saudi and "Israeli" embassies or assassinate the ambassadors", he clarified.
"This proves the naivety of this scenario".
Furthermore, al-Husseini wondered, "What would be Iran's interest in assassinating the Saudi ambassador in Washington? And why the Saudi ambassador? The sole enemy to the Iranians and Muslims is the Zionist entity and those who support it".

"The Saudis are our brothers, and Iran has been urging them to join a dialogue table to develop bilateral relations, as we are close to the Haj rituals (pilgrimage)", the Iranian expert noted.
"However, if you look between the lines of this scenario, you would see the fingerprints of the Mossad and US intelligence. They are those who stand behind the scenario that seeks to avoid the meeting between Muslims", Mohammad Sadeq al-Husseini reconfirmed.

Regarding the Iranian response to this latest US scheme, al-Husseini affirmed, "Iran would ridicule the aforementioned scenario and will wait to see that, as the Supreme Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei stated, "They will once again taste failure's bitterness"".

"No one takes the issue seriously. The US or any of its allies in the region, are incapable of doing anything, and they know that this scenario has an expiry date that would end within a couple of days or weeks and the Americans would discover that nothing resulted from this play", he iterated.
This is not the last the region has seen of the US; for sure it is planning more and more schemes to quench its obsession to control the Middle East, especially the nations that seek resistance against the sole enemy; the US-backed Zionist entity.
