The recent aggression of the Zionist regime against Iran was a real test for measuring the depth of this understanding and how much regional countries are ready to turn it into practical policy.
Regional security requires active participation, not just diplomatic declarations. Recent years have shown that dismissing a threat against one country will soon allow it to spread to others in the form of conflict, just like the war in Yemen, the energy crisis, and the tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, which have affected global security beyond regional borders.
The Zionist regime and its attempts to distort security interconnectivity
The Zionist regime aims to create cracks in the security trust among Persian Gulf littoral states—one of its most explicit goals—by committing acts of aggression against Iran.
Tel Aviv and its supporters seek to turn Iran into an isolated threat. They want to reshape the security destiny of the region’s countries to provide a basis for expanding their presence.
If these efforts are met with inaction, the Zionist regime will succeed in achieving multiple goals at once: undermining Iran’s role, legitimizing foreign intervention, and re-engineering the Persian Gulf’s security order in favor of Western powers. But if countries like the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia understand the reality that their security is intertwined with Iran’s, this equation will be broken.
Diplomatic reactions are not enough; coordinated action is required
It is not enough to condemn the violation; the region’s security will not improve through statements alone. In the face of the Zionist regime’s direct attack on Iran, countries whose security is intertwined with Iran’s must go beyond issuing positions.
One strategic recommendation is to increase joint economic pressure on regimes that violate regional security.
As an example, coordinating to halt or reduce oil and gas exports can send a clear message to the U.S. and Israel as a temporary but strong response: the security of the region is a collective red line. Any violation against the region will carry economic and geopolitical costs.
Such a move would not only boost the peace process but also present an image of strength and regional unity to the world.
An opportunity for unity or the continuation of discord?
The Persian Gulf is at a strategic turning point. Either the countries treat a threat against one nation as an opportunity for unity, or they collectively accept the repetition of the insecurity cycle through inaction.
The choice lies with the region’s leaders. If Arab countries truly believe that the disruption of one country’s security will harm others, they must demonstrate this practically through policymaking.
Otherwise, the Zionist regime and the U.S. will continue their strategy of “discord and intervention.”
The region’s security is the product of a willingness for unity—not the presence of foreigners.
