Many Gulf citizens and others questioned the sudden announcement of the end of Operation Decisive Storm, and wondered about its impact on people’s morale in the Gulf.
While the faithful people of the Gulf felt frustrated, the hypocrites, who are intruders in Gulf society, were thrilled, as it was good news for them. However, God turned their plots against them. The Gulf eagles returned to hit the sites of the evil and corrupt Houthis and their ally, Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Like others, I thought for many days about what had happened. Is it a good deal? But with whom? Is it the end of the journey? How do we explain the resumption of air strikes?
Does what happened have any link with the nuclear agreement between Iran and the Great Satan?
I found a logical explanation for what had happened when I assumed that there was pressure from the US on GCC countries to stop the operation, but it was accompanied by a promising insight.
Perhaps America wanted to apply one of the terms of the nuclear agreement by seeking to stop the war in Yemen to show its goodwill to Iran. It seems the American demand was so strong that the Gulf countries ignored calls from the Saudi National Guard to take part in the fighting.
However, what God wants will surely happen and what He does not will never be! The weakness of the US pledge has been revealed from the first day of the end of the operation, when Iran’s representative in Yemen did not keep his promise.
By then, the US had spoken about the technical shortcomings in the nuclear agreement, and Operation Decisive Storm was on again under a new name, Operation Restore Hope, to avoid any embarrassing interpretation of its resumption.
Those who support Iranian expansion in the region are now living their worst days! Operation Decisive Storm is back stronger than ever, and instead of stopping it there is now talk of expanding it to Syria to end the nightmare being suffered by the Syrian people for years.
This would coincide with victories achieved by the free Syrian fighters on the ground, who are waiting for the fall of Latakia and Tartous, God willing, as that would give these cities back to the Syrian people.
After the recent sequence of events it has become imperative for the Gulf Cooperation Council to reconsider its policy towards Sunni Islamic movements in the region, whether the Muslim Brotherhood or others. These groups have proved that they are the loyal and faithful mainstream in the Gulf and their members can be a source of support in difficult times.
Also, a country like Turkey cannot be ignored in terms of its political, economic and military support, since the Gulf states and Turkey share common interests and goals.
Turkey should be involved in the political and military plans of the alliance. Supporters of the West or Iranian colonialism will try to distort the Turkish role and distance it from the Gulf countries so that Iran and its ally, the Great Satan, can control the Gulf states.
This was my point of view; if it is correct, then it is from God, and if it is wrong it is from Satan.
