This moment came when Iranian regime missiles and drones targeted the UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.
The pragmatic and rational approach adopted by several
Arab states failed to moderate the erratic behavior of the ideological regime
ruling Iran. Arab nations pursued coexistence through trade, financial
engagement, and, in Qatar’s case, political alignment with Islamist movements.
The outcome proved catastrophic.
Despite extensive trade and financial ties with Tehran,
the UAE was targeted more than Israel itself. Qatar, meanwhile, reportedly
lost nearly 17% of its liquid gas capacity, amounting to an estimated annual
revenue loss of $20 billion.
Why?
Because the regime in Tehran resents the Arab world’s
vision of development, stability, and prosperity, a model increasingly admired
by ordinary Iranians.
As long as this regime remains in power, sustainable
regional development will remain impossible, as any progress can be quickly
reduced to ashes.
It is a well-established economic truth that capital is
timid, fleeing at the first sign of instability. International investors and
global markets understand the risks of coexistence with an unpredictable
ideological regime that prioritizes revolution and terror over peace and
prosperity.
Just as Israel could not live peacefully alongside
Hamas and Hezbollah, Arab states will struggle to achieve lasting stability
while the ideological center of regional militancy remains in Tehran.
Any support for “peace” with this regime is ultimately
little more than a temporary plaster over a deep and widening wound.
The long-term peace and prosperity of the Arab
countries neighboring Iran are inseparable from the interests of both the
Iranian people and Israelis: The end of the regime in Tehran and of the
ideology that has destabilized the region for decades.
