| Iran: After Aleppo, we will intervene in Bahrain, Yemen |

| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The leaders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards launched provocative statements against the Gulf states threatening to intervene in Bahrain and Yemen. The comments were reported by Iranian media after what they described as a "victory in Aleppo," upon the massacres, starvation and displacement against civilians. Aleppo was considered as one of the strongholds of the opposition; however, the Syrian regime took a hold of it with the help and support of Iranian and Russian military troops. In this context, the deputy commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Gen. Hossein Salami told the official Iranian news agency Islamic Theocratic RepublicNews Agency that "The victory in Aleppo will pave the way for liberating Bahrain," pointing out that Iran has an expansion project that will extend to Bahrain, Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... and djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... after the fall of the Syrian city of Aleppo. Salami said that "the people of Bahrain will achieve their wishes, the Yemeni people will be delighted, and the residents of Mosul will taste victory, these are all divine promises," as he put it. He also pointed out that Iran is still providing unlimited support for the Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... group, highlighting that Iranian missile could destroy the enemy targets in any area. Salami described the control of the Syrian regime forces on the Syrian city of Aleppo, which have claimed the lives of hundreds of civilians as "a conquest." The comments of the front man for the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Brigadier General Ramadan Sharif reveal the intentions of Tehran to expand geographically through bloody wars and military interventions in the Arab World. Sharif noted that the Iranian forces and its sectarian militia from Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistain and Hezbollah with the support of Russia played a "fateful and very influential role" in the battles of Aleppo. It is noteworthy that Iran’s hostility against Bahrain and the Gulf states has escalated since the Prime Minister of Britannia, Theresa May, vowed her country’s support for the Gulf States in the face of Iranian terrorism. The Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned the British ambassador in Tehran in protest against Theresa May’s remarks during her speech on the 7th of December, at the Summit of Gulf Cooperation Council, where she declared: "We need to work together to address Iranian regional hostilities whether it is in Leb, Iraq, Yemen, Syria, or in the Gulf itself." |
