Muscat: A bitter truth confirms that there are no longer any shared principles in the Arab world after colonialism succeeded in fragmenting the Arab region into weak, meaningless entities. This served the colonial project in the region, which aimed for complete control over this part of the world, a region of great geopolitical importance and rich in vast oil and gas reserves.
According to Yemen News Agency, the US-Iranian war has produced a new political reality, the most prominent manifestation of which is the removal of the fig leaf from the Gulf regimes, which they used to conceal their complete subservience to America. This raises questions about the purpose of the massive US military bases in these countries, and whether these regimes possess true freedom to make sovereign decisions based on their national interests.
The Gulf and Arab public were shocked by the use of American military bases in the Gulf states to attack Iran, contradicting America's claims that these bases were built to protect the Gulf countries. It has become clear that these bases are being used as launching pads for aggression against the Islamic Republic, particularly by the UAE. The UAE has reportedly been a central hub in an American, Zionist, and European conspiracy, funneling money and weapons to militias formed to fragment several Arab regimes, including Yemen, Sudan, and Libya.
Today, the UAE's conspiracy to fragment and destroy Arab regimes is backfiring on the UAE itself. The situation in the UAE is currently shrouded in uncertainty, with the Dubai and Sharjah regions experiencing unrest due to escalating disputes among the ruling families.
Reports indicate that Al Qasimi, the ruler of Sharjah, has expressed resentment over the isolation imposed on the marginalized emirate by Abu Dhabi. This coincided with Dubai, ruled by Mohammed bin Rashid, also hinting at rebellion. Statements attributed to the Dubai ruler have been circulated, containing allusions to unilateral decision-making and a breach of trust. These remarks are directed at Abu Dhabi and its ruler, Mohammed bin Zayed.
The ruling family in the UAE is experiencing a major crisis after their leader, Mohammed bin Zayed, attempted to alienate the UAE from its Gulf and Arab context. The UAE president has begun making decisions that threaten the very existence of this emirate and undermine its independence, dictated by Washington. These decisions include withdrawing from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), a withdrawal welcomed by Trump as it serves his country's interests.
Many political analysts expect the UAE to take further steps, namely its withdrawal from the Gulf Cooperation Council, the Arab League, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. These are serious and fateful decisions that affect the reality of the state and undermine its Gulf, Arab, and Islamic coexistence.
