US Divide And Rule No More: Washington’s Gulf Allies Embrace Iran – OpEd
==========
Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Arab states have sent warm congratulations to Iran on its newly elected President Masoud Pezeshkian, signaling a major geopolitical realignment. The Gulf Arab states have historically viewed Iran with suspicion and hostility due to sectarian tensions and fear of Iranian revolutionary politics. However, the recent olive branch from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Arab states to Iran marks an unprecedented diplomatic development that will likely alarm Washington, which has sought to isolate Iran from its neighbors. The United States and its Western allies have historically fueled fears of Iranian expansionism in order to maintain their influence in the Gulf and promote a Cold War between the Arab states and Iran. However, the Gulf Arab states are now showing signs of normalizing relations with Iran, with Saudi Arabia calling for fraternal relations and regional security cooperation. This shift in alliances reflects a larger geopolitical realignment, with Russia, Iran, China, and others challenging U.S. and Western hegemony. The Gulf Arab states are also signing up as new members of the Shanghai Cooperation Council, signaling their recognition of the decline of Western hegemony and the rise of a multipolar order. The days of Washington and its Western allies playing divide and rule in the Gulf are over.
