PERSPECTIVE In Yemen, the catastrophe of the 21st century is beyond imagination of the human loss, starvation, malnourished children and disease with the Saudi led coalition continuing unabated bombing the life out of the poor Yemeni. Forces in the region under another false ﬂ ag, like the Iraq scenario, of an imminent attack to its interest in the region by Iranian revolutionary guards, as per Israeli intelligent inputs. National Security Advisor John Bolton, who called once to bomb Iran and leading the orchestra for another US war in the region, warned Iran of dire consequences. In fact, it is Tel Aviv, that keeps pouring the fuel on the ﬁ re by increasing the anti Iran sentiment in the US administration ever since president Donald Trump took over. It was the later who pulled out of the nuclear deal that was signed by 5 plus, one in 2015 with Iran after a long series of discussions with all parties and then, imposed economic sanctions against Iran. The prime minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu threatens to stop Iranian oil ships in the sea and prevent them it from selling their oil. All these provocative measures by US and allies against Iran raised the tension once again in an already turbulent region and throw a dark cloud of an imminent war .This US policy toward Iran has poisoned the relations with neighbouring countries to Iran as well as US allies who are opposed to US Unilateralism and Exceptionalism. The world is still limping because of the ﬁ nancial crisis which aﬀ ected many nations and is leading to social unrest. International world order is in a mess and yet to take shape with emerging powers in a multi polar world. There is rise of nationalism, patriotism and right wing parties in power in many countries. The diﬀ erences between great powers may deter a war by USA for now. But the military build-up by the later, will keep the tide high and a chance of another false ﬂ ag will lead John Bolton to convince the President to attack Iran which will lead to total chaos and instability, threatening the world peace and security. The oil crisis will be severe. Countries in South and Southeast Asia will suﬀ er economically with the disruption of oil supply from the region if a war broke out. Though it may not be soon, it will encourage US allies to provoke Iran. It will be again a deviation of the international community from a comprehensive ﬁ ght against terrorism that plagues every country in the region and beyond. We need to draw lessons from the US and UK invasion of Iraq, Venezuela crisis, North Korea and Libya. Iraq unilateral invasion by USA and UK was the main cause for the world community ﬁ ght against terrorism. Iraq was totally destroyed and led to sectarian violence which turned out to be breeding ground for terrorism and extremism. Venezuela is blown out of proportion with US intervention and threatening of military action for a regime change. North Korea became more adamant and rejected US pressure and economic sanctions to dismantle its nuclear weapons which will lead to further militarization of the Asia Paciﬁ c region. Libya, war torn nation, divided, literally, into three countries is another tragedy of regime change which is now the hub of terrorism, arms, and human traﬃ cking. The US-Iran tension is more than to meet the eyes. USA under President Trump guided by his son-in-law Kushner and company, is planning to introduce a century deal beneﬁ ting Israel as a state only for the Jew and dilute the Palestinian cause and their right for a homeland in their own as a two state solution. What Washington, dictates to Tehran is a long list: ﬁ rst and most important one is to price the Gas export in US Dollars; renegotiation of the civil nuclear deal; stop its ballistic missiles technology; support for Palestinian organization Hezbollah resistance forces in Lebanon; and pull out of Syria and Iraq. The picture is very grim and depressing. Yet, there are still hopes that the people of the region if left on their own will rise to the occasion and struggle for their freedom, democracy, justice and prosperity in a rich region with abundant wealth and culture. The second wave of uprising is on from Sudan to Algeria. It is the consistent indigenous people power which is causing a regime change and not military foreign intervention.  *Author is Senior journalist based in India; www. waielawwad.com Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Diplomatist • Vol 7 • Issue 7 • July 2019, Noida • 37
