Arabia
Qatar to overthrow Saudi regime: clip
2011-12-27
[Iran Press TV] The Soddy Arabian monarchy will be tossed by Qatar very soon, a leaked confidential conversation by Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem Al Thani has revealed.

According to an audio file which has gone viral on the Internet, the premier said Qatari troops would occupy Qatif in Eastern Province and the Al Saud regime will disintegrate.

"The regime of King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud is exhausted and powerless to control the country and the army cannot confront the future changes," he asserted.

The remarks were made as people in Qatif have been staging protest rallies to demand freedom and equality over the past months.

The Qatari premier also revealed that the United States and Britannia wanted him to report back to them on the situation in Soddy Arabia.

"They want to get rid of the Saudi regime while they are afraid of any new Islamic regime in the region," Sheikh Hamad said.

"Therefore, Qatar has taken advantage to transfer US military bases to its country," he added.

Sheikh Hamad said Qatar also has been able to gradually reduce the dominance of Soddy Arabia in the region and impose itself on Arab countries.

Qatari state-run news channel Aljazeera has refused to comment on the audio clip.

Qatari officials did not confirm the report when Press TV contacted the Qatari Embassy in Tehran.

This is while several Arabic-language new agencies have covered the story.

#7  I hear so little about Jordan

Jordan is small, poor, and trying hard to keep their Palestinians from revolting, Dale. They can't afford to be newsworthy.

#6  Yes, this is not new but joint efforts are a concern. China wants resources. Russia wants technicians in place. So Iran is building an Arab unity. I think at this time Isreal must feal tremendous pressure. That conflict is inevitable.
I hear so little about Jordan. Perhaps they haven't joined the Iranians love fest. The pied pipers of doom.

#5  NEWSMAX > {Arnaud de Borchgrave] WEALTHY QATAR HOLDS KEY TO STABILIZING AFGHANISTAN.

IMO Iran is sensing many or most of the US = US-ALLIED? strategy for containing or confronting Iran militarily in the PG - its prob is determin proper levels + mix of resources [defensive] to defeat it.

FEAR NOT, MOUD, IFF YOU SURVIVE THE INITIAL WESTERN ONSLAUGHT VLAD = RUSSIA WILL SAVE YOU FROM FINAL DEFEAT WID HIS MILITARY TECHNICIANS.

As per below described ....

* CHINA DAILY FORUM > [Russia Today] US FEARS RESURGENT GERMANY, RUSSIA - RUSSIA TODAY.

THE TECHNICIANS ARE COMING, THE TECHNICIANS ARE COMING!

Iff like FIRST KOREAN WAR, VIETNAM WAR, + COLD WAR, any US-led strike upon Russian-manned "defensive" military points is an act of aggression agz Mama Russia + Iran.

#4  The pattern is scarcely a new one.

#3  I am starting to see a pattern here. Iran has been buggered up so they have turned to old methodology (planning and control). Look at their activities in the Persian (Arab) gulf (sea). Libya asking for help. More influence in Arab countries. The strait of Hormuz and Canal look like a throttle point. They have even said that should they be stopped oil exports they would act to shut all oil shipments in the gulf.

#2  Qatif is just up the coast from Qatar, about halfway to Kuwait. It is the most Shiite part of SA, and with Iranian instigation they were cutting up rough until the Saud cracked down on them, killing a dozen.

However, the house of Thani, that rules Qatar, is also Sunni, so they have no great impulse to help out Shiites.

This leads me to suspect that this recording is some Iranian audio editing, because they want to claim both Qatar and Saudi Arabia for themselves.
