Iran and the Arabs: the Changing Balance of Power- Asher Susser

Asher Susser discusses how a major shift in Middle Eastern politics has taken place in the last generation. As the Arab states have continued in steady decline, in some cases poised on the verge of disintegration, Iran has emerged as a regional super-power. The Middle East is no longer synonymous with "the Arab World" in terms of the regional balance of power, as it was for much of the Twentieth Century, as the non-Arab states of the region, Iran, Turkey and Israel, have emerged as the regions major players.

Let’s be real Iranians and Arabs, until recently it was UK/US Gulf. Today any warship entering the guild must inform Iran and basically ask for permission because Iran is capable of sinking any ship in the area. So today we can call it the Persian Gulf. Arabs can call it the Arabian Gulf once they shut down the US naval bases on their territories. It’s simple as that. Remember the story of Arash the archer (kamangeer). He went on top of mountain Damavand and shot an arrow into the air and shouted to all Iranians, where this arrow lands is the Iranian border. The Arrow represents the Iranian projection of power.

MrA Yes Infact all the critics Christians use to attack Islam are from Shias because they are not Muslims. So it is normal Shias and Christians unite because Shias worship their saints and Ali just like Christians worship Jesus asking saints for their needs. We are in the final trials and Jesus son of Mary will soon descend to stop the anti Christ who is a jew with his army of coalition. Your source of information is cnn BBC fox news etc which report to enslave the masses like you. Don't you know that terrorists were not there before 1990? Why? Don't you know that the US are tye biggest terrorists who killed four million sunni civilians in the past 3 decades and nothing is mentioned in your medias. You need to define a terrorist again. The one who comes so far away and bomb banks hospitals bakeries bridges grain silos or the one who wants to end this oppression and enslavement of white crusades against Muslims? Crusades took thousand years and they alway attacked Muslim lands. Can you mention any Muslim land envading a Christian nation in the past 100 years?

Neither the Iranian leardership nor the Turkish leadership can sell a war against the other to their population. Iranians and Turks have lived alongside one another for milleniums. Only Iranians and a Turk would understand the unspoken brotherly solidarity between the two folk. I use the term "folk" and not countries on purpose. I the Iranian leadership tomorrow declared war on Turkey they will probably end up with a revolt on their hand.... How Truks are treated when they come to Iran and vice versa is unprecidented in the whole of middle east.

Egypt is a great power and Saudi Arabia is also a great power in middle east. I don't understand his definition of power but israel has no influence in the region. Israelis have a good army but it's only defensive and they have not a great ally in the region. Middle east is divided between Sunnis (friends of saudi arabia) and Shia (friends of iran). I see Turkey and Israel more as western countries that they don't want to deal with the other nations of middle east.

[@HassanI220]

Iran has the better army of middle east but Saudi Arabia will have a very good army in the future.

[@HassanI220]

ok but you forget a point. Saudi Arabia has a lot of friends: Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and India.They can make a new strategy to build a good army in the future.

[@HassanI220]

+Samba Bamba Can you see my first comment? We agree but you have to admit that actual government in turkey has a good relationship with saudis

[@ThePersBoy]

+Iraqi Hassan my friend there is a whole different story about these 2 Nations when we talk about war! Iran is an old tiger in war experiences and saudi is a tiny cat! and yeah this days every country has bombs and weapons, but courage of the army is again an another story, which we seen in 1980 between my country and your country! ;)

[@HassanI220]

ThePersBoy I agree

[@ts6070]

This is a very smart man wow!

[@roviprog2866]

I have seen a lot of comments of hate and division between arabs and persians, i wonder i can se the day when you guys realize how stong you can be together. I love arab and persian culture, IREALLY DO!! Brothers from meadle east, feel proud of your culture and traditions, stay together and realize who is the real enemy, the enemy that is supporting the division between this beutyfull and great cultures (i know you know the name of this enemy). I wish my eyes can see one of this days the return of this civilizations united and together.

[@user-jp8mz5pg7j]

Arab 344m Vs Persian 60m

[@TheEmperorprakash]

+‫أمير العرب‬‎ it is around 210 million. you forgot to include 30 million Kurds, 50 million Pasthuns, 20 million tajik, 10 million Baloch and other ethnic group as well. In arab case most north africans are not arab but arabized berbers.

[@amak3]

+Prakash Gautam Arabized are still arab.

[@TheEmperorprakash]

amak3 go tell that to berbers from algeria and Morocco.

[@amak3]

Prakash Gautam I will tell them they still have brotherhood with us Arabs and I wish them peace. We helped eachother in the past like we did for the kurds. This ethnicity thing shouldn't deter relations and split the ummah.

[@amak3]

Prakash Gautam It's because of poisonous western nationalism ideology which makes them fight eachother.over something stupid like borders and making an independent state "kurdistan" most likely going to be another failed state. Once upon a time, ethnicity was not a care for Muslims. I don't know about punjabis and balochi.

[@musiomusio3579]

Long life IRAN (( persian gulf & arabian golf ))

[@niloofar9365]

wtf???? this gulf has an ID with 2500 yrs old. u think its so sweet o call it in both names???? PERSIAN GULF FOREVER

[@flayteatorrante7588]

UA Judaic Studies You omitted some principal aspects: 1 The racial aspect. The aboriginal Population of what you called the Shia Crescent is Indo-Iranian. 2. That was the people of Great Babylonia that founded Israel. 3. Europe was liberated before the Russians by Cervantes in Lepanto . 4. For Iran, you described the papist principle of a Supreme Court.

[@warsameadam5572]

Somali people are NOT Arabs. This is misleading. And Somalia has nothing do with middle east.

[@vikvik9573]

IRAN 🇮🇷IS A POWER 💪

[@khaledalshaheen5841]

for example IQ country rank, Kuwait is 86, Iranian is just 82. for sure Arabs are way smarter than Iranian who don't have even alphabet.

[@khaledalshaheen5841]

Mohammed Ali it's not just that Kuwait have higher IQ than Iranian and we are way smarter than persians we also have better education system far advance than Iran, more freedom more human rights and people are way more educated than Iranian who work in my country streets to have better life quality than Iran, Also Human development ranking Kuwait have way better rank than Iran in fact our HDR rank is better than half Europe, So my point is for those who try to fake the reality that Iran is better. Yes if you put Somalia and Sudan and Mauritania with all respect and love with Arabs yes the avarage will go low but to be fair also put Afghanistan and Tajikistan with Iran since they are persians too and you will have even lower ranks. my point is persians are unsecured people they have historic issue with Arabs they know deep down they can't change the fact they live under Arab influence religion culture alphabet history knowlage..etc that why you see so much hate against us because the unsecurity the ajams feels.

[@khaledalshaheen5841]

Mohammed Ali I disagree with you the majority of Iranian have lots of hate against Arabs because of the unsecurity feelings they have especially when Arabs rulled persia and Arabnize them, I advice you to read what Dr Ali shareaty said about Iran and the born of shiazim in the 14th century and they made up this new religion based on the hate of Arab race and taking revange and all the story of Hussain and Fatima peace be upon them are fake just to add more hate and dsitraction towrd Arabs, Ali shareaty is Iranian schooler who stand up and finely said the truth. I finish my school in LA and I never met mently disorder people same as Iranian Lol they are sick m f in there mind with hate wallah against all Arabs see what they did to Iraq it's sad and they are proud or ruling Iraq now and they say it out loud.

[@khaledalshaheen5841]

Mohammed Ali not true most of the Islamic schoolers and philosophers are Arabs by far numbers specially in Alanduse 2ns is Turks and uzbics Iranian lie about alfaraby alkhaearzmy ibn sina all of them are uzbic or azaris or turkz.

[@khaledalshaheen5841]

Mohammed Ali May Allah free Iraq's from the hate and terrorism coused by Iran and isis and hopfully we will see Iraq a free country again from those inferior ajams who have hate against iraqs who is smarter and better and more civilised than ajams who don't even have alphabet. nice taking to you too. take care ⚘

[@okk7663]
