The diplomatic posturing by Iran through the platform of Non Aligned Movement (NAM) is least to say having it's effects on the western bloc and their Middle Eastern protege Israel. What's most troublesome a thought for the latter group is the inability or further delay in their assault plans at Iran due to the successful diplomatic coup by Iran in the shape of the NAM's latest episode. The Iranians deserve due credit for the aforesaid success.
It is indeed true that the Iranian designs to achieve the nuclear power and aggressive posture towards Israel is in continuation to the dream which reignited after the revolution at Iran. A dream which envisages glory and global power status like their past days of the Persian Empire. It is also a fact that the Iranians hegemonic designs for the middle eastern region in particular and rest of the world in general are despised by the wealthy Wahhabi Empire of the kingdom of Suadia Arabia, where it's rulers, the House of Saoud are putting in unlimited amount of finances to fight the Iranian Shia influences all over the world, in particular middle east and Pakistan. It is evident that this fight is bloody and lethal in nature. The Iranian defiance to support the ruling Shia clan of Bashr Al Asad at Syria and resultant Russian backing is also not being seen in kind by the Sunni majority in the Middle East, especially when Iran supports the Shia dictator being opposed by the Sunni majority of the country but most vocally and actively support the Shia population at Jordan in their fight against the Sunni king and his government in the name of "democracy". This hypocritical attitude is badly hurting the Iranian repute amongst the Muslim states in the region. The Turkish efforts to accept and advocate the American agenda in the Middle Eastern Region is also a direct result of such insolent behavior by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Having said all above and keeping the ground facts in view which includes the Israeli aggressive designs against the Iranian nuclear program backed by the US, the Islamic Republic of Iran looks in a thick soup here. The Iranian determination to retaliate against any move by Israel or US is commendable when seen as a tribute to their defiance to the super powers in defence of their proclaimed sovereign rights but is equally rather more worrisome a scenario for global stability. Clandestine operations by the Israelis backed by US are well underway against Iran in this direction which is off course being reciprocated by Iran in kind at the best of their capability. The ingress by western block led by Israel on ground is deep rooted and having it's desired effects on Iran but, still lacks any decisive force.The western controlled global media is day in and out proving and paving ways and opinions against Iran. To an average Joe, the global media mandated by their bosses has like always created the desired effect of that of an evil monster, as and when he hears the word "Iran". The effect on a common man around the globe is on the surface the ridiculously high and rising petroleum costs and it's resultant fallout on the economies making the life of a regular Joe a nightmare to begin with.
The question arises is, that in the light of all the above discussion does Iran qualifies to be the number one Villain in the Middle East as accepted as such by the majority of people??????
The answer to the above posed question is NO. Though Iran is neither considered nor is a saint in the realm of the world geopolitical scenario, the Iranians are not viewed by the majority of the Middle Eastern public and those around the world having some brains and access to uncensored information as the "top threat" to world peace and stability.
Having said that, very honestly if you have an insight to the mass public views, the top threat in the middle east in particular and the world in general is "Israel backed by US". The Israeli's self proclaimed right to maintain the only nuclear arsenal in the Middle East in defiance to the international laws and the American unconditional support through hook or by crook obtained by the Israelis is the number one threat to world stability, we can easily conclude. The Israelis cruel initiatives to bomb the Palestinians at will any time they wish to and her repeated assaults against Lebanon are being seen as the most critical villain like behavior by the masses around the globe, in particular at Middle East. The Israelis continuing Jewish settlements in the occupied territories is another thwart in any peace initiative between the Israelis and the Palestinians, hence the Muslim world. The aggressive military posturing by the Israelis and the religious fundamentalism is only having a tit for tat response by the rest of Muslim world. The situation only presents the doomsday scenario so frequently discussed by the end of the world philosophers and religious zealots of all three monolithic faiths who are related with the land of Israel by their beliefs and history.
The aim of this article is neither to blame Israel for her indifferent behavior backed the the USA, nor to support the insane rhetoric by the Iranians to wipe Israel off the world map. The main issue is to present a picture as to where this all fiasco being created by the Global Powers is leading the world to, which is chaos and destruction, less we give peace a "real chance".
