Israel allying with the Saudis is dancing with the devil. Both the Sauds and the Iranian government are evil and if Israel thinks it can dance with one and not be stained, it’s wrong.
Better to let the Sunnis and Shia duke it out on their own
That’s a complete pivot, and I’m a better dancer than to allow myself to be led that way. Better to have Trump break up the dance altogether, by taking away Iran’s lubrication. Free and independent Khuzestan, Greater Kurdistan, with maybe Baluchistan thrown in for a cherry on top. A reformed and forward-thinking Persia might result, but if not, they will not be able to make as much trouble anymore without the Khuzestan oil fields. No need for Israel to get involved with either KSA or Persia. Under this scenario, we remain happy neutral wall flowers, with nobody duking it out.
In 1921, the British and French divided up the Ottoman Empire along Pan Arab-ist lines. Persia, not being part of that empire, remained um-divided. The result has been bad for everyone, including the Arabs. We can’t go back and do it over, but we can at least repair a genuine injustice being perpetrated against an Arab people right now, and liberate Khuzestan from Persian tyranny.
Trump is in a position to simultaneously avert a war and right this wrong. Everyone wins, including the Persian people, whose rich culture and history are being reduced to a corrupt theocracy and exporter of terror and death. Art of the Deal.
