Kutengesa Mufananidzo Wakanganisa kune US Vagadziri
Boka revabereki raUANI, Counter Extremism Project United, inozvimiririra yakazvipira kuverengera marudzi ese ekunyanyisa. Asi mukuita izvi, inofungidzira kusarudza mune zvainovavarira, kuita dhimoni Iran nemubatanidzwa wayo ichitarira ziso kune dzimwe nyika dzine hukama hwakanyanya hwekunyanyisa uye ugandanga.
UANI inotsigira zvinopomerwa naTrump nemauto eU.S. ekuti Iran ndiyo "nyika inotyisa kwazvo kutsigira hupfumi," yakanyanya kutsigira bato reLeban Shiite rezvematongerwo enyika Hezbollah, ane mauto anorwira zasi kweRebhanoni kurwisa Israeri uye kurwa muSyria semubatanidzwa wehurumende.
Asi Iran yakaisa UANI pane yayo yega mazita ezvikwata zvemagandanga muna 2019 mushure meMark Wallace neUANI vakaita musangano kuRoosevelt Hotel muNew York yainyanya kupindwa nevatsigiri ve Mujahedin-e-Kalqh (MEK).

UANI yakaedza kuzvibvisa pamusangano mushure meizvozvo, asi chirongwa chakaburitswa chakaratidza UANI semurongi wechiitiko.
Ukuwo, kune nyika mbiri uko CEPU neUANI zvinoita kunge zvisinganzwisisike kuwana chero hukama hwekunyanyisa kana ugandanga zvachose, uye ndiyo nyika idzo dzinoratidzika kunge dzichitsigira mashandiro avo, mari dzinobhadhara uye “mumvuri wekubvunza”. Saudi Arabia uye United Arab Emirates.
Vazhinji vekuAmerican vachiri kukumbira kuferefetwa neruzhinji nezve basa reSaudi Arabia mumatsotsi aGunyana 11. Mumatare edzimhosva kupikisana neSaudi Arabia yakaunzwa nemhuri dze9 / 11 mhuri dzevarwi, FBI ichangobva kuburitsa kuti a Saudi Embassy mukuru, Mussaed Ahmed al-Jarrah, akapa rubatsiro rwakakosha kune vaviri vevabati. Brett Eagleson, mutauri wemhuri idzo baba vakaurayiwa musi waGunyana 11th, vakaudzwa Yahoo News, "(Izvi) zvinoratidza kuti kwaive nehutungamiriri hwekuuya kubva kuCanada Embassy kune Ministry of Islamic Affairs [muLos Angeles] kune vapambi."
Kupararira kwepasirese kweiyo yeWahhabi vhezheni yechiIslam yakadurura uye nekufambisa Al Qaeda, ISIS nemamwe mapoka echitendero chechiMuslim ane chisimba chakatungamirwa zvakanyanya neSaudi Arabia, iyo yakavaka nekupa mari kuzvikoro zveWahhabi nemisikiti pasi rese. Izvi zvinosanganisira King Fahd Mosque muLos Angeles yakauya nevahosi vaviri 9/11.
Zvakare rakanyorwa zvakanyatsonaka kuti Saudi Arabia ndiyo yakanyanya kutsigira uye inopa mauto eAl Qaeda inotungamirwa mauto ayo akaparadza Syria kubva 2011, kusanganisira CIA-yakatakura kutumwa kwezviuru zvematani matani ezvombo kubva kuBengazari muLibya uye dzinosvika nyika zvisere muEast Europe. Iyo UAE zvakare yakapa rubatsiro rwemari kuAl Qaeda-akabatana nevapanduki muSyria pakati pa2012 na 2016, uye basa reSaudi neAU zvino rakadzoserwa muLibya, uko iyo UAE mutengesi mukuru ezviuru zvematani matani ezvombo kune General Haftar mauto anomukira. MuYemeni, vaviri Saudis uye Emiratis vakaita mhosva dzehondo. Mauto eSaudi neEmirati airidzira zvikoro, makiriniki, michato nemabhazi echikoro, apo ivo Emiratis kushungurudzwa kuvharirwa mumajeri epachivande 18 muYemen.
Asi United Against a Nuclear Iran neCounter Extremism Project vakabvisa zvese izvi kubva kune rimwe divi reruwadzano rwepasi ravanopa kuneUS machekereshi uye vekuAmerican kambani venhau. Panguva yavanobata Iran, Qatar, Hezbollah neMuslim Hama nehama sevanyori uye nemagandanga, vanoratidza Saudi Arabia neUAE chete sevanyori vehugandanga nemubatanidzwa mumatanho anotungamirwa ne "US" ekurwisa mhosva dzehondo.
Meseji yemapoka aya akazvipira ku "kupikisa kunyanyisa" iri pachena uye hapana akanyanyisa kuchenjera: Saudi Arabia neUAE vanogara vari vabatsiri veUS uye vanobatwa nechisimba, haimbove dambudziko kana honzeri yenjodzi, mhirizhonga kana mhirizhonga. Nyika yatinofanira kunge tichinetseka nezvayo ndeye - iwe wakazvifungidzira - Iran. Iwe haugone kubhadhara propaganda seizvi! Asi kune rimwe divi, kana iwe uri Saudi Arabia kana United Arab Emirates uye une makaro, maAmerican ane huwori achigogodza pasuo rako vachida kutengesa kuvimbika kwavo, pamwe unogona.
