Iran’s regime responds to Arab conferences

Leaders form the Arab World gathering in Mecca for a series of conferences focusing on regional threats emanating from Iran

Analysis by PMOI/MEK

June 3, 2019 - Three conferences held in the holy city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, featuring leaders from a spectrum of Arab and Islamic countries, was deemed unprecedented in the past. This represented a significant political alignment of these countries against the mullahs' regime ruling Iran, especially as these conferences coincided with Tehran’s deceptive “Quds Day” rally.

While Tehran intended to hold its annual “Quds Day” rally to derive attention away from its recent acts of terrorism and warmongering, these Mecca conferences literally delivered a strong blow to the mullahs’ intentions as regional crises continue to escalate. Leaders of the Arab and Islamic countries emphasized on the issue of Palestine in the face of the Iranian regime’s sham “Quds Day” façade, terrorism and warmongering.

The conferences also strongly condemned the terrorist attacks carried out by Tehran’s proxy forces targeting four commercial ships off the coasts of the United Arab Emirates and vital oil facilities inside Saudi Arabia. Participants in these conferences called on the international community to rise to their responsibilities in safeguarding regional peace and security.

In a weak response, the mullahs’ regime issued a piece in a newspaper associated with the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) indicating how the Mecca conferences delivered a deep impact on Tehran.

“… a number of Arab statesmen gathered in three consecutive conferences to point their arrow of threats towards Tehran. They condemned the Islamic republic’s foreign and regional policies,” the piece reads in part.

 

Arab reaction

The Iranian regime does not respect the sovereignty of neighboring nations, the London-based Asharq al-Awsat wrote citing Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir. The Islamic world does not accept this regime’s behaviors. Two sessions of the Gulf Cooperation Council and Arab League leaders condemned the Iranian regime with a clear voice. The Organization of Islamic Countries Summit also condemned the Iranian regime’s behaviors, such as attacks on oil tankers and Saudi oil facilities, al-Jubeir added.

Iran’s IRGC is the main force behind the mullahs’ support for terrorism across the globe.

The U.S. State Department recently designated the IRGC as a “Foreign Terrorist Organization” (FTO).
