Persist throughout the year as if it was a daily event. Saudi Arabia was ready since two weeks to create an intensified media escalation in this regard coincident with the first anniversary of the Iranian presidential elections”.

European sources in Brussels revealed that clear and explicit instructions issued by the Saudi authorities were given to the media people and centers for studies funded by them, to work on putting an extensive media plan in order to exploit the first anniversary of the Iranian presidential elections, which will take place early next week.

The said authorities want mass media to carry out the wider and most ferocious media campaigns, including comments, analysis, and interviews with opposition people and with those experts of the Iranian political affairs. The media campaign should also include covering the analysis and commentary published on the Iranian opposition’s websites. The aim of all this is to benefit from this chance to launch a wider media and political campaign against the Islamic Regime and against the government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The European sources told “Nahrain News Net” that, “The office for Iran of the Saudi intelligence service, submitted on the beginning of last May an evaluation report to the senior leaderships in this service, on the performance of the systems and mass media funded by Saudi Arabia and working in Gulf, Arab, and other foreign countries. The report evaluates their method of facing the Islamic Regime and supporting the opposition, particularly the reformers. Based upon the report, what has been achieved in this regard during the past year in making the challenging of the results of the “Iranian presidential elections” last long and in supporting the reformers is considered “a success and a great achievement”.

The report considered that this achievement is an ongoing news event that keeps on reminding the world and the Iranians that there is a “real” political crisis in Iran.
The office for Iran of the Saudi intelligence service- which includes Saudi experts, who speak the Persian language and who had been trained in Britain and in the United States- strengthened its evaluation results of the project of “the media and political campaign” against Iran by the views and assessments of the Iranian opposition.  Additionally, the evaluation report included the evaluation of Iranian and Arab political and media figures, those who are interested in this Saudi media campaign.

The European sources stated, “We are concerned that this media escalation and Saudi confrontation with Iran might produce more tension in the Gulf region, and might push towards creating the phenomenon of polarization and axes in the region.

This comes especially that some Gulf States do not accept to be dominated by a Saudi leadership. Moreover, some of the Gulf States are worried about the Saudi attempts aiming at withdrawing their leaderships and at supporting rival ones in order to take hold of the power therein. The said fears and concerns might lead them to develop relations with Iran and/or to take a position rejecting any Western or Gulf escalation plans against it”.

The said European sources added, “This media and political Saudi project against Iran was directly supported by the results and decisions of coordination, cooperation, and meetings that were taking place between the office for Iran of the Saudi intelligence service and the experts of the Iranian affairs”. Those experts work in the American and British intelligence service, are living in the Gulf region, and are closely following up the Iranian affairs”.

The sources stressed the fact that “The European intelligence services working in the Gulf have accurate information that confirms that the Saudis have put a budget of hundreds of millions of dollars to support the Arab and foreign mass media.

In fact, they are doing so in order to destabilize Iran and to undermine the Islamic Republic Regime. This comes after Riyadh realized that Saudi Arabia, through the media supported directly by it, was alone able to keep Iran’s crisis, after announcing the results of the elections, hot and to make it persist throughout the year as if it was a daily event. Saudi Arabia was ready since two weeks to create an intensified media escalation in this regard coincident with the first anniversary of the Iranian presidential elections”.

On the other hand, the Oriental radio station, which broadcasts from Oslo, the capital city of Norway, stated, “Iran has faced over the past year that followed the announcement of the election results, the deadliest media and political attack during the last two decades.

This comes because the Western states and at the forefront America and Britain, as well as some Gulf States, particularly Saudi Arabia, believe that the political and military force of the Islamic Republic is growing more and more.

They were also aware of the seriousness of the challenging mood of the administration of the President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during the four years of his reign. He was challenging the Western pressure and he has fiercely faced the risks and threats that his government was facing during that period.

Thus, President Ahmadinejad succeeded in gaining the support and the backing of the Islamic Republic Leader. Additionally, the poor and middle classes in Iran supported his domestic and foreign policies”.
