Abdullah al-Nafisi is a university professor and political analyst, and a former member of the Kuwait National Assembly and political advisor to the Speaker. He believes that the hypothesis of overthrowing Iran, which began with the US and Israeli attack on Iran, is a false notion, and Americans know that it is unreal and Israelis know that it is not real, and the Iranian government since the Islamic Revolution has been institutionalized and the continuity of the state and its institutions in the face of any assassination is guaranteed. From his viewpoint, the popular base was the backbone of Iran's military power in the 12-day war.

Biography

Abdullah bin Fahd al-Nafisi was born in 1945 in Kuwait. To complete his preliminary education, he entered Egypt in 1951, and due to the military atmosphere of the political structure of this country, in 1961, he traveled to Manchester, England to study medicine. In the first days of his presence in Manchester, after reading a book titled "Atheism", he realized that he knew nothing about Islam, so he decided to abandon his medical studies and return to Kuwait to learn about Islam, and applied to study at Al-Azhar University in Cairo and the Faculty of Sharia in Damascus, but his application was rejected due to studying in British schools. Al-Nafisi then decided to study political science at the American University of Beirut and received his bachelor's degree in 1967 from the American University of Beirut and his PhD in political science in 1972 from Churchill College, University of Cambridge.

Intellectual Developments

Al-Nafisi went to Egypt during the era of Gamal Abdel Nasser but did not become a Nasserist. He studied in the fortress of Arab nationalism in Beirut, but the ideology of nationalism did not convince him. However, during his stay in Beirut, he noticed that the Muslim university students were academically outstanding and morally committed, and he began to imitate them. He became more Islamic in his fourth year of university, but did not join any Islamic movement. His Islamic thought crystallized during his doctoral studies at the University of Cambridge, where he met several prominent Islamic thinkers, especially Abul Ala Maududi.

The Unrealistic Nature of the US Claim Regarding the Overthrow of Iran

Dr. Abdullah Al-Nafisi stated regarding the US claim about the overthrow of the Iranian government: There is a distinction between the ambitions of Donald Trump, President of the America, and Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel. He noted that Trump seeks international hegemony and intends to weaken China by controlling Iran's oil. And Netanyahu seeks to remove Iran from the regional balance of power, destroy its nuclear program and missile capabilities, and dismantle its regional proxy networks, such as Hezbollah, Hashd al-Shaabi, and Ansar Allah. This Arab strategic thinker said: The hypothesis of overthrowing Iran is unrealistic, and the Americans know that it is unrealistic, and the Israelis know that it is not real. He pointed out that the Iranian government has been institutionalized since the Revolution, and the continuity of the state and its institutions is guaranteed in the face of any assassination[1].

Iran's Popular Base

Dr. Abdullah Al-Nafisi, analyst and professor of political science at Kuwait University, said: Netanyahu's insistence on Trump was to stop the war (12-Day War), because missiles began to cause destruction and devastation in Tel Aviv and Haifa. Our media here are biased and propagate against Iran; throughout the Arab region, not just in Kuwait, the media space is against Iran; the Iranian system is very powerful and relies on extensive popular support[2].

The Importance of Iran for Russia and China

Al-Nafisi, after the veto by Russia and China of the proposed Bahrain resolution regarding the status of the Strait of Hormuz in the Security Council, said: For China and Russia, support for Iran is more important than the Arabs. Last night's Russian and Chinese veto revealed two points:

  1. The interests of Russia and China in Iran are deeper and more important than their interests in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries;
  2. Iran enjoys international political coverage that will positively affect its future role-playing[3].

Al-Aqsa Storm a Severe Blow to Israel

Dr. Abdullah Al-Nafisi said: The issue of Palestine has been the central point in the Middle East region, and Operation Al-Aqsa Storm was a severe blow to Israel. And stability in the Middle East region will not be achieved unless the issue of Palestine is resolved. He emphasized: Arabs were initially committed to the cause of Palestine, but when they observed that the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was disappearing and internal differences were eroding the core of this organization, many Arabs, including Habib Bourguiba, President of Tunisia, abandoned it. This Kuwaiti thinker said: He himself was among the students who marched in the streets of Cairo and threw stones at Bourguiba, because he had advised the Arabs to seek political understanding with Israel. This Kuwaiti thinker said regarding Operation Al-Aqsa Storm: There are significant considerations regarding it because this initiative was taken by specific individuals in the resistance, including Yahya Sinwar, Marwan Issa, and Mohammed Deif. Meanwhile, the political leadership of Hamas Movement did not support this operation and was even unaware of its execution the day after. He added: What happened created a reality in Israel that is not in favor of the Arabs and caused doubt in Israel that this attack threatens the existence of Israel in the region. He noted that the October 7 operation was a powerful blow that forced Israelis to reconsider the security framework that protects Israel from attacks that threaten its existence.

Iran's Role in the Region

Al-Nafisi regarding Iran's role in the region said: Iran is a major regional power with strategic capabilities, abundant water resources, agricultural potential, and significant oil reserves exported to global markets. He also noted that Iran is a neighbor to Arab countries and a reality and a central country in the Middle East, and Saudi Arabia's understanding with it is a one hundred percent correct step, and stability in Iran is to the benefit of Arab countries, provided that the United States monitors Iran's role[4].
