    Iran: If not for Iran’s support of Hamas, we’d be closer to Mideast peace

    Bahraini Foreign Minister Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa has said that if it were not for Iran’s support of Hamas and other armed groups in the Gaza Strip, Israel and the Palestinians would be nearer to peace.

    Iran is a backer of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s armed wing, and the al-Quds Brigades, Islamic Jihad’s military branch.

    “We don’t want to let this issue [of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict] continue to be used by countries or terror groups that seek dominance in the region. And that will bring us to the issue of Iran,” the top Bahraini diplomat said Wednesday at an Atlantic Council event in Washington, DC.

    “If it wasn’t for Iran being present — Iranian soldiers, Iranian money, Iranian support for Hamas and jihadis that take control of Gaza — we would have been much closer to achieving a better peace between the Palestinians and Israelis and we would have a better chance,” he said. “But that role was so toxic that it would make things difficult every time.”

    Do you think Iran should stop sponsoring terrorism in the Middle East?

    They should be sanctioned until they do stop.

    Dumbest statement ever.

    They're not close to peace because Israel wants to eradicate any Palestinian land.

    It's pretty hard to see how there's any potential for lasting peace while Israel goes around offensively existing. That simply isn't a tolerable state of affairs for the Islamist nations in their vicinity.

    They support more terrorists groups in yemen. Though the saudis is not doing a very good job there either with their shitty bombing runs.

    The United States has zero room to talk. We have spent billions upon billions to promote terrorism in the Middle East.

    Oh, and the title is completely wrong. Once again, the OP is pushing nonsense.

    I suppose Israel is at fault for Iran's meddling in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen as well. Why point the finger at theocratic fascism when you can just blame the jews, amirite?

    But if they eradicate the Palestinians who will Israel's far right government blame all their problems on?

    Conflict is a powerful political tool, the longer Netanyahu and co. can drag this out the better, I mean it's not like there is any danger of them actually losing.

    Might wanna read the title and the OP. Supporting "Hamas", "Peace in the middle east". Iran literally is doing what everybody else is doing in the region. Singling them out is pointless, Saudi Aradia is even worse, but our "Ally". Oh no Iran meddling in those small scale skyrmish in shitholes, if it wasent for them, there would be peace! Nvm the fact theres multiple other bigger players there doing the same shit. Even if Iran never existed, there is no peace. Israel is not the "jews", just like Italy is not "the christians".

    We just fought ISIS, funded by Saudi Arabia our good friends, you know ISIS an enemy of Iran. Mabye wrap your simpleton head around that?

    It's hilarious that Iran gets a free ride on this forum. I can always count on some nitwit to regurgitate some RT talking points at me when I point out that Iran is literally fucking cancer in the middle east. Fuck off with your whataboutism.

    yh no they shouldn't, Palestinian people already living like they are in prison.If there were no Hamas im pretty sure that Israel will simply take over rest of Palestine areas and make them they own like they have done in the past and still doing now.

    Cause the US have good relations with the Saudis.

    If America had good relations with Iran, then Iran would be the evil kingdom.

    The only difference between Iran and Saudi Arabia is one is Sunni and the other is Shiite.

    Pretty much and both are shit, infact the entire area is shit. Doesent matter if one of the player is gone, theres still an entire league of shit stain that would fight. So that bullshit idea that somehow Iran is what stopping peace is downright idiot bait. What next Italy was the reason WW2 continued for years!

    Iran isnt MAKING them fight
    its just giving them the means to do so with something beyond rocks and sticks

    so no, we wouldnt be closer to "middleeast peace" if Iran didnt supply them, cause if people are willing to fight and die for something, they will, the only question is how effective will they be in doing it
