Iran Deeply Concerned over Upcoming Arab Conferences

(Iran Commentary) Heshmat Alavi - Three fundamental domestic and global elements are placing the regime ruling Iran on the edge of a cliff. However, a conference of Arab countries scheduled for May 30 in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, has resulted in Tehran scrambling senior figures across the Middle East calling for talks and accelerating their tactic of deceptive measures. Firstly, sanctions are beginning to bite. The U.S. bringing an end to oil sanctions waivers issued for China, Greece, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Turkey and imposing new sanctions on Tehran are beginning to suffocate the mullahs. Secondly, the presence of U.S. military forces in the region that has literally terrified the mullahs regime. During the past three decades, Tehran has never paid any price for its interference in regional countries. Currently, Tehran is deeply concerned that this period of taking utter advantage of regional developments is coming to an end. Thirdly, the active presence of the Iranian opposition coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and its cornerstone member, the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), inside the country and abroad. Looking forward, Arab delegates participating in the Mecca conference should adopt a firm position against the regime of Iran to deliver a strong response to Tehran's recent measures. "No thank you, Mr. Javad Zarif, Iran's proposal is unacceptable," was the title of a piece published in the UAE's Gulf News responding to Zarif's ridiculous suggestion of signing a "non-aggression pact" with Iran's neighbors.
