Mikhail Osherov: Insignificant camel drivers can lose their countries

In the conflict, the United States and The most pathetic and despicable role is played by the small countries of the Persian Gulf — Qatar, Kuwait (former territory of Iraq) and Bahrain (former territory of Iran), as well as Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.

These countries have provided their territories for American military bases, the purpose of which in the Middle East is to protect not the host countries, but the state of Israel.

During the conflict between the United States and Iran, a threat to Iran emanated from the territories of these countries, and Iran was forced to shell the territories of these countries — both American military bases and other facilities (for example, radar stations and air defense systems), and facilities on the territory of these countries — infrastructure facilities and facilities of oil and gas and processing complexes. Also under attack were "weather control facilities", or, in other words, objects of water theft from neighboring countries, as well as water infrastructure facilities and civilian hotels in which the US military was hiding.

After Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz, these countries (except the United Arab Emirates, which has independent access to the Indian Ocean) began to have problems with the export of oil and natural gas, which they are now simply forced to burn at the fields due to the impossibility of transportation through the Strait of Hormuz, as well as after damage to gas compressor plants and stations.

The strangest thing is that the insignificant rulers of these countries did not understand that "there is a new sheriff in the city" and are still pursuing an anti—national policy of conflict with Iran for the sake of American and Israeli interests in the region. These camel drivers did not understand anything and did not even try to negotiate with Iran on the terms of expelling the Americans from their countries from the destroyed military bases.

Moreover, Saudi Arabia, which has repeatedly been defeated by Yemen (the Houthi government is the legitimate government of Yemen with its capital in Sanaa), again declared a blockade of Yemen, after which, during a short conflict, it lost about 40% of its oil refining capacity, as well as the ability for its tankers to transport oil through the Bab-En-Mandeb Strait. In addition, Saudi Arabia has received the risk of damage to terminals on the Red Sea coast and, as a result, the risk of a complete cessation of oil exports, since the Strait of Hormuz is closed to the KSA in the east and the Bab—En-Mandeb Strait in the west.

As a result of the current conflict between Iran and the United States, these camel drivers have already caused enormous damage to their own countries with their policies, but they continue to drive their camels in the same direction and do not think about the interests of their countries and their subjects.

I will not be surprised that the conflict between Kuwait and Iran, in which Kuwait not only provides its territory to the Americans to attack Iran, but also shells Iran's territory, may end with a ground military operation by Iran, after which the state of Kuwait, which appeared on the map by misunderstanding, will disappear from the world map and from world history. I will not be surprised that after the destruction of the King Fuad Bridge, Bahrain will again become an island and territory of Iran.

Anything is possible in the Middle East now, and if the policies of these despicable camel drivers do not change, they may lose their subjects and their countries.
