In a TV interview, Iranian analyst Mohammad Sadeq Al-Hosseini called Saudi Arabia "a tribe on the verge of extinction." Al-Hosseini, a former advisor to Iranian President Khatami, further said: "We in the axis of resistance are the new sultans of the Mediterranean and the Gulf... and we will shape the map of the region. We are the sultans of the Red Sea as well.
Following are excerpts from the interview, which aired on Al-Mayadeen TV on September 24, 2014:
Mohammad Sadeq Al-Hosseini: The Bab Al-Mandeb Strait and the Strait of Hormuz tighten the noose on the Red Sea, on Israel in the Suez Canal…
Interviewer: And you think that Saudi Arabia will have nothing to say about this? The Bab Al-Mandab Strait tightens the noose on its oil experts as well…
Mohammad Sadeq Al-Hosseini: Saudi Arabia is a tribe on the verge of extinction. The Saudi ruler represents a tribe on the verge of extinction. This is what the top observers say. End of discussion.

Abd Al-Malik Al-Houthi is now the boss in Yemen, and he will become the boss of the Arabian Peninsula, and when this happens… Abd Al-Aziz Aal Saud used to say [to the Saudis]: "When Yemen is weak, you are strong, and when Yemen is strong, you are weak." He said when he established Saudi Arabia in 1923. Now the tables have turned. Now the Yemenis have become strong, while the Saudis have become weak. I am not talking about wealth, arms, or international relations, but about the making of geo-politics and history. We are in the middle of a transformation. A third world war has begun…
Interviewer: According to an American report, by 2050, Yemen will control the Arab region.
Mohammad Sadeq Al-Hosseini: Absolutely. All of this began at the gates of Damascus… What changed the map was the steadfastness of the Syrian people and army, of Hizbullah, and of the Iranians in Damascus, when they prevented the fall of the city on September 3, 2013. Obama drank from the goblet of poison three times: at the gates of Damascus, at the wall of Gaza, and on the outskirts of Baghdad. Today, he is drinking from it for the fourth time – this time in Sanaa.

[Obama] wants to return to the region, but in a new guise and with new tactics. However, it is too late for that. You cannot return to the region, Obama – not you nor anyone else.
Interviewer: Then who will take charge?
Mohammad Sadeq Al-Hosseini: We in the axis of resistance are the new sultans of the Mediterranean and the Gulf. We in Tehran, Damascus, [Hizbullah's] southern suburb of Beirut, Baghdad, and Sanaa will shape the map of the region. We are the new sultans of the Red Sea as well.

This maniac has a point about Yemen, Syria, and Obama. What isn’t addressed is why Obama is so concerned about injecting himself into the region.

three words: glass parking lots.
Bammy wants to be the dicktator Caliph.
Not much new here
Yeah, I know he envisions himself as top Muz, but I wanted to hear the Iranian’s take on it.
Long time ago I traveled throughout the ME.
I found the Iranians (they like to be known as Persians) to be smarter than the Saudis by far. When the Shah was in charge, Iran was a rather sophisticated country and very pleasant to spend a vacation, while life in Saudi is dismal.
And don’t you ever call an Iranian an Arab — them are fighting words, for sure.
Obola was injecting himself into that region before he was elected in 2008.
I believe he secretly fancies himself to be the Mahdi.
It has been the greatest tragedy of US foreign policy that it has aligned itself against one of the more civilised and tolerant (Jews and Christians practice their religion with a degree of freedom in Iran that is unheard of in Saudi Arabia) nations of the Mid-East, a country whose middle classes are very pro-western and actually elected a reform-minded government, Iran.
Instead the US supports a corrupt, savage, intolerant, cowardly, theocratic sh!thole like Saudi Arabia, a country that loathes the US and everything it stands for.
Saudi Arabia repaid US help in getting Saddam out of Kuwait and protecting its own oil-fields, something the Saudis’ armed forces were incapable of doing, by sending the 9/11 attackers out to attack America.
And yet Iran is treated as the enemy despite never having attacked US interests in three decades and Saudi Arabia the origin of 9/11 and backers of ISIS are “our Saudi friends”.
It truly baffles me.
“We are the Sultans of Swing.”
Iran is your enemy. If you don’t want to agree, that’s fine. It is.
The Saudi government DID NOT send people here to carry out 09/11. Saudis here on Student Visas carried out 09/11, but they weren’t sent here by the government.
We have citizen who fought with ISIS. Did our government send them? No. They acted on their own.
Reminds me of that old song ‘Sultans of Swing’
Of course the Saudi government had no idea about the 9-11 attack nor is it in any way in league with the boys in ISIS, if that’s what you want to believe that’s fine, I prefer not to be so naive.
My original point stands, Saudi Arabia is more of a threat to western/US interests around the world than Iran is, with a bit of diplomacy, you know like Reagan pulled off with Gorbachev and Nixon pulled off with the Chinese, Iran, a country with an intelligent, well-educated population that was once the best friend of the US in the region, could be brought round as a friend of the US.
But no, we’ll keep backing the savage barbarians of Saudi Arabia because they have half the US government and establishment in their pockets.
It’s shameful how Saudi petro-dollars have bought the US government and turned US forces into the Saudis’ janissaries: infidel mercenaries bought and paid for and told to fight the Caliph’s enemies.
“We are the Sultans of Swing.”

“Instead the US supports a corrupt, savage, intolerant, cowardly, theocratic sh!thole like Saudi Arabia....”

The largest American community outside the US is situated in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia — it is called ARAMCO.
Not only smarter but more cunning too.
