FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda In a Wednesday interview, Hisham Jaber, Director of the Center of Middle East Studies in Beirut, described Bahrain as “a military platform to the US” and “the main gate to Saudi Arabia” and argued that, due to such a geopolitical position, the Manama regime “is under the pressure of first Saudi Arabia and second, the US.”
Emergence of “democracy in Bahrain” is “not convenient” for Saudi Arabia as such popular movement may spread to Saudi Arabia and “especially to the eastern region” in the country, he pointed out.
The analyst went on to say that the US is unwilling to support the popular demands in Bahrain as promotion of democracy in the Persian Gulf Kingdom poses grave risks to America’s main military base in the region, which enables Washington to organize its military operations near strategic countries such as Iran and Afghanistan.
Bahrain is the location of the Middle East headquarters for the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet. The Bahraini royal family is closely allied with the United States.
People in Bahrain have been staging anti-regime demonstrations since mid-February 2011.
Bahrainis hold King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa responsible for the death of protesters during the popular uprising in the country over the past 14 months.
