"Iran is the spearhead of the international terrorism", these were the words of King Salman bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia in the Islamic Arab-American Summit with the participation of the US President Donald Trump before the leaders and representatives of 55 Arab and Islamic countries. Trump agreed with King Salman's attitude towards Iran saying that "It trains and arms militias in the regions".
The summit focused on the Iranian terrorism and it was the launching pad of an American-Arab alliance against the Iranian expansion in the region. This alliance will also work on isolating Iran, the country that spread destruction and supported Assad regime in its crimes against the Syrian people.
Tehran is the weakest party
The Syrian writer and journalist "Rami Zein al-Deen" believes that the results of the Saudi-American summit can only be viewed in light of the common interests of the two countries, especially the economic ones.
Regarding the conflict between Iran and Gulf countries whether in Syria, Yemen or Iraq, Zein al-Deen says that Syria may come late in the list of priorities of gulf countries as Yemen is more important, but according to previous data, there might be a bargain between Russia and the gulf countries according to which Moscow will handle the Syrian file under the condition of eliminating Iran, the thing that we actually witnessed in the last two years. He added that Tehran is now much weaker than what it used to be with the beginning of its intervention in Syria, that's why the US-Saudi rapprochement will disturb Iran.
Iran Is Under Political And Economic siege
The political analyst Abdulaziz Ajini sees that the new alliance between the US and the countries of the region will terminate Iran's sectarian and expansionist dreams and that will force it to retreat before this new alliance.
The analyst confirms that besieging Iran politically and economically is very easy as the regional arena has been well-prepared by America and its allies and this can destroy the Iranian political system from inside as starting a revolution in Iran needs nothing but a trigger and though Iran has to choose between continuing to participate in the Syrian war under the expense of its internal stability or exiting Syria to keep solid from inside.
The Egyptian researcher in the international law and international relations (Muhammad Hamid) says that president Trump can't expel Iran from Syria in the near future, but he will threaten weaker entities like ISIS and Hezbollah.
He also believes that Trump may target Iran with a strike similar to that he did in Syria, but getting it out of the country is not excluded, though the Russian-Iranian agreement could hinder this as it strengthens the Iranian influence in Syria.
