Mohseni’s Explicit Criticism of the U.S. Military Presence; “Security Is Either for Everyone or for No One.”
Baqer Mohseni, a political activist, in a recent note described the U.S. military presence in Persian Gulf countries as a “direct factor of instability” in the region.
He believes that American bases have not only failed to create sustainable deterrence, but have also turned these countries into potential targets in any regional tension.
According to Mohseni, the continuation of this situation could seriously shake the security equations of the Persian Gulf.
Referring to the relations between the Persian Gulf countries and Iran, he emphasizes that existing differences were manageable and that by focusing on energy cooperation, trade, and religious tourism, a less costly path for regional stability could have been chosen.
Mohseni claims that “Iranophobia” has become a tool for attracting large financial resources by the United States, while in military base agreements, no explicit and comprehensive guarantee has been defined for the security of host governments.
This political activist also described the current war as merely the beginning of a long process and warned that Iran’s attritional approach could change balances in the long term.
He described the idea of targeting Iran’s leader by the United States as a “costly miscalculation” and believes that such actions could expand the scope of tension and instability.
Mohseni concluded with a clear statement: “Security is either for everyone or for no one.”
Meanwhile, Baqer Mohseni, a political figure, was among the serious critics of the Taliban in the early period of their rule and, following these critical positions, was detained and imprisoned for a period of time.
