A former member of the UAE parliament has called for a tougher stance against Iran, saying the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has 'hijacked Iran from its people' and only understands force.

A former member of the UAE parliament has publicly called for a tougher approach toward Iran, saying the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has 'hijacked Iran from its people' and that the regime 'only understands force.' The remarks, reported Sunday evening, reflect growing frustration in Gulf states over what they describe as continued Iranian aggression and provocations in the region.
The statement comes amid a backdrop of heightened tensions between Iran and Gulf Arab states, as well as with the United States and Israel. The IRGC has in recent weeks issued multiple threats against Gulf states regarding US military bases, and has been involved in maritime incidents in the Gulf of Oman. The former MP's call for 'teaching them a lesson' signals a hardening of sentiment among some Gulf elites, though it remains an individual opinion rather than official UAE policy.
As The Zioneer has reported, the IRGC has repeatedly warned Gulf states against hosting US bases and has enforced maritime restrictions in the Gulf of Oman. The current frustration appears to stem from a perception that diplomatic efforts have failed to curb Iranian behavior.
