Challenges of the UAE pendulum game in the Middle East region

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - The Negev meeting was attended by the US and Israeli foreign ministers and officials from Bahrain, Morocco, and Egypt. The United Arab Emirates, which took the lead in Abraham Accords to normalize relations with the Zionist regime, was also one of the countries that attended the recent meeting. A look at the country's foreign policy record over the past year shows that Abu Dhabi is facing a serious contradiction in its approach to foreign relations. In the last two years, the UAE government has taken a new approach to develop relations with countries such as…

America at a historical juncture for further deterioration or greater power

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - Perhaps the most pessimistic American politicians did not imagine that Biden would be subjected to the harshest attacks, even nine months after the 46th President of the United States came to power, and even warned of the danger of his impeachment. Biden and his supporters, who during and after the election campaign incessantly blamed Trump for humiliating the United States on the world stage, and in a thunderous process, put all their grief and sorrow on reversing the actions of the former White House resident, were able to cotton all his achievements. But suddenly both…

Manama dialogue: Gathering for security or insecurity?

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - In recent days, Bahrain has hosted a meeting in Manama called the Regional Security Summit. Although Bahrain was the nominal host of the Manama dialogue, the meeting could be considered to be hosted by Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, given Riyadh's godfather's ruling on Manama. The record of these countries, both domestically against their citizens and in the region against free nations like Yemen, shows that they are themselves part of the crisis and the cause of insecurity in the region, and therefore hosting Manama dialogue called the Regional Security Summit is a clear contradiction. Official…

The defeat of US military power in the Crusades against Muslims in the Middle East

BY: Mohammad Ghaderi PEJOURNAL - Gradually, the voice of the US military power is becoming broken, which is heard today from Kabul Airport surrendering the world’s largest military power. The military, the world’s largest and most powerful army, is not even able to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan under normal circumstances, despite an agreement with the Taliban. This military defeat is not the only internal source to be sought in the divisions of American political identity and fragmented society. Numerous factors for this failure must be traced to the history and strategic mistakes of the United States over the past…

Middle East is a possible host for World War III

BY: William Holmes PEJOURNAL – The policy of US sanctions and addiction to forcing non-aligned countries to adhere to its maximum-policies has created new lines of resistance in the international system including Middle East. Globally, in the aftermath of the Cold War and the undisputed power of the Americans over the international system, sanctions diplomacy has been widely used in US foreign policy. The lack of global rivals after the fall of the Soviet Union, which led to the creation of a new world order to the detriment of American interests, in turn paved the way for a monopoly of…

Richard Anderson Falk: US backing Israel for its strategic interests in region

PEJOURNAL - Richard Falk believes that US Government backs Israel because of its strategic interests in the region and partly as a reflection of well-organized pro-Israeli lobbying, which has been very effective with the US Congress. Every year, millions of Muslims mark International Quds to underscore the plight of Palestinians as a manifestation of the Palestinian cause, heeding a call by the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini (RA), who designated the last Friday of every Ramadan as the International Quds Day. Quds Day is a unique form of a wide-aware campaign against the Israeli occupation of Palestine.…

The change in Al-Saud’s tone towards Iran

BY: Mohammad Ghaderi PEJOURNAL - Recently, some media outlets, citing Iraqi sources, reported on the talks between Iran and Al-Saud in Baghdad, which it seems that the Al-Kazemi government was seeking to exploit it politically and create a special position for itself in this regard. However; Although both Tehran and Riyadh have denied the news, the frequency of the news could raise suspicions of some kind of dialogue, especially since we have recently seen a change in the tone of Saudi officials on Iran, as the Saudi Crown Prince called for the two countries to prevail in a televised interview.…
