US and its Allies Are Behind Instability OF the Region
By: Hamdollah Emadi Heidari
An IPRI Analyst told siasat rooz that the expanding instability in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Xinjiang (China) and Central Asian countries is the result of what US and its coalition forces and their intelligence network are doing.
Muhammad Munir*, Islamabad Policy Research Institute Analyst believes that the West and the USA would never like to see a Muslim country such as Iran to develop its nuclear program even if it is for peaceful purposes.
Following is the text of the interview:
How the problematic situation in Afghanistan could be resolved Regarding the neighbors?
The problematic situation of Afghanistan cannot be resolved as long as the neighboring countries do not evolve conenoses on the issue. All the neighboring countries must understand the dangers of presence of Western/US forces in Afghanistan that is considered a destabilizing factor in the region.
The expanding instability in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Xingjian (China) and Central Asian countries is the result what US and Coalition forces and their intelligence network is doing. One thing that must be understood by the neighboring countries is that big powers such as USA are not so naive, they first create a problem and then try to resolve it according
to their interests.
How Iran and Afghanistan can help stability of Afghanistan?
Iran can play a very critical role for the stability in Afghanistan by involving all the important neighbors of Afghanistan for developing a coalition government representing all the ethnic groups in Afghanistan. Efforts should be made that no one be allowed to exploit the ethnic diversity in Afghanistan.
How a Tehran-Washington cooperation in Kabul can be achieved?
The regional approach to resolve the Afghan issue provides an opportunity for Iran to cooperate with USA. Pakistan and Iran are the two key countries for the resolution of the Afghan problems. Both should oppose the involvement of various countries, like India, in negative activities for destabilizing the region.
Can a Tehran-Washington cooperation in Kabul affect other issues like Iran peaceful nuclear activities?
The West and the USA will never like to see a Muslim country such as Iran to develop its nuclear program even if it is for peaceful purposes. I personally think US-Iran cooperation on Afghanistan would not change the approach of USA toward Iran’s nuclear program.
What is your prediction of the 5+1 group recent session on Iran nuclear activities?
The 5+1 group in its session on Iran’s nuclear activities has threatened Iran of more sanctions if it does not stop uranium enrichment. It seems to be pressure tactics for stoppage of Iranian nuclear program.
