By Santiago Vera GarciaThe commander of the Iranian Navy, Rear Admiral Shahram Irani, announced that Iran and several countries in the region, including Saudi Arabia, plan to form a new naval alliance to ensure the regions security, primarily in the Persian Gulf and the northern Indian Ocean.Today, the countries of the region have realized that if security is to be established in the region, it can only be achieved through cooperation and collaboration, the Iranian Navy commander said in an interview reviewed by IRNA, the Iranian state news agency.The rear admiral noted that a joint naval coalition would soon be established between Iran and other regional neighbors, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Iraq.Tehran has welcomed the agreement with Riyadh, with officials repeatedly proclaiming it a major diplomatic victory against Washington (Photo internet reproduction)The alliance will also include India and Pakistan.Previously, Iran and Oman have conducted several joint naval exercises and are expected to be part of them.New coalitions are emerging in and outside the region, said the Navy commander, who added that the naval alliance would pave the way for removing unjustified forces from our region.The people of the region will be able to ensure their security using their forces, he emphasized, alluding to the Iranian desire to run the US out of the region.He further noted that the countries involved will play a dominant role in the security field through the deployment of their military personnel.Commander of the Iranian Navy, Rear Admiral Shahram Irani (Photo internet reproduction)Forming this new coalition that includes traditionally confrontational countries may mark a potential shift in the geopolitical dynamics of the Middle East, with significant implications for regional security and cooperation among the participating nations.This new coalition deals a blow to the Israeli government, which is working to form a so-called Middle East NATO, along with the United States and Persian Gulf Arab countries, to counter Iran.During Trumps tenure, the Abraham Accords were signed, which normalized relations between the Arab and Jewish worlds for the first time.However, the arrival of Joe Biden in the White House completely broke with this dynamic, and, following the influence of China, Saudi Arabia moved away from its reformist path and decided to settle its differences with Iran and re-engage.Recall that in March of this year, Saudi Arabia and Iran ended years of hostility under an agreement brokered by China, whereby the two countries restored diplomatic relations and pledged to cooperate on economic and regional security issues.Tehran has welcomed the agreement with Riyadh, with officials repeatedly proclaiming it a major diplomatic victory against Washington, as it constitutes another step toward its goal of driving the United States out of the region.We should recall that the United Arab Emirates unexpectedly announced on May 31 that it had withdrawn from the US-led Combined Maritime Forces coalition, which, if confirmed over time, would be another sign of the weakening of the US position in the Middle East.Joe Biden, President of the United States, and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates (Photo internet reproduction)As a result of our ongoing assessment of effective security cooperation with all partners, two months ago, the UAE withdrew its participation in the Combined Maritime Forces, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.However, the US 5th Fleet refuted the UAEs claim and asserted that the country was still a partner in the multinational coalition.Based at the US naval base in Bahrain, the Combined Maritime Forces task force works on security, counterterrorism, and counter-piracy in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf.With information from La Derecha DiarioNews Iran, English news Iran, Iranian diplomacy
