I will not go into the historical details, the dust of the drawn maps, and the orientalists’ designations regarding the Arabian Gulf or elsewhere, as such arguments have another place. What really matters to me is the timing used by Iran to raise a topic that has been dead for years, and each of Iran, the Gulf states, and Iraq use the name that suits them around the Gulf, whether from the stomachs of history or from the evocations of the present, and this difference did not lead to wars or clashes!
Since 24 Arab Gulf Championships, Iran has not protested once morest the naming, as it is not one of the Arab Gulf countries, and therefore we have the right to call it the Arab Graduate Championship.
The strangest thing is that the protest came from the Iranian parliament, according to Fars Agency, which headlined its news as follows: “Iranian parliamentarians condemn Muqtada al-Sadr’s recent statements.” And all that the man did in his tweet was that he congratulated the launch and success of the Arab Gulf Championship. Was he supposed to even take permission from them? Say what they want!! The Arabian Gulf was mentioned in the opening speech delivered by the Prime Minister, Mr. Al-Sudani, and the representative, “Wali Allah Bayati,” considered that the mention of the word “Arabian Gulf” in the words of Al-Sadr and Al-Sudani was “a strange procedure.” While the Iranian Football Association sent FIFA a note of protest once morest naming the Arabian Gulf, although FIFA The championship is not officially recognized and does not mean anything from the naming order!
However, the insolence of the representative who took on behalf of God and the Iraqi people referred to “the recent statements made by Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the Sadrist movement in Iraq and the prime minister of this country.” This is how he came with the text “this country” by which he means Iraq! While he declared his guardianship over the Iraqis by saying, “The Iraqi people are not satisfied with the use of such terms.” I do not know where he came from with this funny and strange substitution, forfeiting the opinion of the Iraqi people, who revealed from Basra their true identity, which may have disturbed the Iranian leaders or some of them who did not express an opinion on The Iranian Parliament bypassed leaders such as Mr. Al-Sadr, whom Parliament demanded to apologize to Iran, and this apology includes Mr. Al-Sudani, as stated in the text of the Fars news agency, “The Iranian parliamentarian called on these two people to apologize to please the Iraqi and Iranian peoples.”
Notice “this country” and “these two people.” What disrespect and disrespectful language this representative is marketing, as if they are nothing but political and religious personalities who have their respected positions and represent large segments of the Iraqi people.
If we are not waiting for an apology from the Iranian Parliament or the government, then the Iraqi people have the right to wait for a position from the Iraqi government to restore honor to Messrs. Al-Sadr and Al-Sudani. Most likely, our wait will be long until we read a new title for Samuel Beckett’s play, whose events revolve around two men waiting for a person called “Godeau.” “It never arrives!!

For several months, China has been showing growing aggressiveness towards Taiwan, which is disrupting the peace and stability of the region.
Yesterday, the Chinese military concluded large-scale military exercises deploying warplanes and warships around Taiwan.
Beijing wants to reclaim the island – a thriving and innovative democracy – which refuses to be integrated into China. Starting today, Taiwan is in turn organizing military exercises to showcase its defense capabilities.
Japan is also on the alert. Japanese and US defense ministers are meeting this week, and Japanese Prime Minister Kishida will meet with President Biden in Washington on Friday.
He will be in Ottawa tomorrow. Tokyo is doubling its military budget and carrying out a major overhaul of its armed forces. A new security strategy that moves away from post-WWII Japanese pacifism.
The US and Japanese armed forces are integrating their command structure and engaging in combined operations to confront China in a possible conflict, according to the commander of the Marine Corps in Japan.
Aid to Taiwan like that to Ukraine
Lieutenant General James Bierman said in an interview with Financial Times from London that Washington is preparing for a war in Asia as it did, as early as 2014, for a conflict in Ukraine.
Following Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the Russian-speaking Donbass region of eastern Ukraine, the Pentagon began preparations to confront Russia: training Ukrainian military personnel, prepositioning equipment for support future operations, Russian attack simulations and target identification.
In Australia, the United States is also increasing its land, sea and air forces, including B-52 strategic bombers.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Washington will deploy more Marine Corps personnel there.
As with the Pacific War once morest Japan, the Marines will be at the center of military operations once morest China.
The Pentagon has embarked on a program to make their amphibious units capable of moving quickly and safely around the western Pacific islands while within range of Chinese missiles.
The United States also wants to preposition weapons and equipment in the Philippines.
Canada is also involved
Rising tensions in the Western Pacific and the South China Sea are already involving Canada.
A little over a month ago, Ottawa accused the Chinese air force of making numerous “dangerous interceptions” of a Canadian Forces reconnaissance aircraft.
The CP-140 Aurora was flying surveillance missions from Japan in support of UN sanctions once morest China’s ally North Korea.
Growing tensions with Russia and China and a desire to stay in Washington’s good graces in these uncertain times also partly explain the Trudeau government’s decision to acquire F-35 multirole jets.
