Region: Commonwealth of Liberty

| NADA AL-UHMABI VS KOBRINA NOURI |

27th of February, 2023

| Currently the Commonwealths of Iran have very specific yet major powers at their disposal, with only the power over foreign affairs, military and economics out of their control. Recently, Prime Minister Nouri announced that she will seek to curb certain powers from commonwealths which had instantly triggered a response from the Prime Minister of Persian Gulf States, Nada Al-Uhmabi who accused Mrs Nouri of trying to destroy the democratic process the commonwealths operate by and the compromise of 1978. The compromise of 1978 had given all Persian Gulf States large devolved powers which have been granted to them after they re-joined in 2016.

Soon after, Mrs Al-Uhmabi through the Arab Youth Movement within the National Parliament, proposed the Persian Gulf Liberation Act which would grant the Persian Gulf States a special status of the Persian Gulf Republic, grant the PGU ability to govern it's own economy and foreign affairs but remain linked to Iran through military and an alliance. Of course the Act failed in the first vote but the message sent was clear, we're ready to fight should we be provoked to do so. It's very important to note, however, that the two opposing sides are led by two very similar leaders.

Mrs Kobrina Nouri is a leader that follows strict Beninism rules, militarism and is at core an Iranian-Liberal. Her idea of leadership is based on conviction, strength and charm. Mrs Nouri has made it clear several times that she will not allow any referendums for independence, and that her ultimate goal is to curb the powers of commonwealths to a more centralised power. On the other hand, Mrs Nada Al-Uhmabi is a leader that follows Persian Gulf Arabism*, pro-democratic leadership and secularism. Her idea of leadership is, like Nouri's, based on conviction, strength and charm. Al-Uhmabi made it clear in her last campaign that she will aim for another independence referendum should her terms not be met. Al-Uhmabi leads the Persian Gulf Commonwealth since 2019, for the past four years and has won the last elections with a majority.

The major confrontation has, however, took a major turn when on 26th of February, Prime Minister Nouri announced that she will construct a new military base in the Arab Persian State whilst her proposed act has moved onto the second vote after a narrow pass in the first vote. In very quick response, Prime Minister Al-Uhmabi openly attacked Nouri in her conference and had rallied the Arab Youth Movement to step onto the streets to protest against a new military base.

    [ Prime Minister of Persian Gulf States, Nada Al-Uhmabi ]: "We do not need another Persian military base on our territory. We are protected as it is, and I view the latest actions of Prime Minister Nouri as provocative and absurd-like. We will not allow our powers to be taken away from us and I urge other Commonwealths to unite with us in that matter. We cannot and will not be ruled directly from Tehran as they do not understand our problems as well as we do, and that is simple as that. Mrs Nouri needs to reevaluate her recent actions."

The Western-Iranian Commonwealth, the Azerbaijani Commonwealth, the Eastern Commonwealth and the Caspian Sea Commonwealth leaderships have also responded positively to the appeal of Al-Uhmabi, sending a sign to Mrs Nouri. Some experts predict that the recent tensions between Nouri and Al-Uhmabi are due to Nouri testing her grounds as to how far she could curb the powers of the Commonwealths. However, other political observers are suggesting that in fact Nouri is starting an internal campaign to take down Al-Uhmabi. "...Nouri is a Shia Muslim, Al-Uhmabi is a Sunni Arab Muslim...they both fight for very different causes, but the issue is that both are wanting to be the powerful Muslim leaders of Iran...Al-Uhmabi held that title until Nouri came along, and Nouri is determined to become the sole source of power within Iran...Al-Uhmabi is a very big obstacle that in her eyes has to be destroyed..." On the other hand, according to Arab-Iranian Politics Expert, Shahram Reza the situation is on the contrary "...it's not Nouri that is trying to bring Al-Uhmabi down, it's Al-Uhmabi that is trying to destroy Nouri...Al-Uhmabi was the most powerful Muslim Arab politican of the country, now she's just the most powerful Arab leader...Nouri's appearance on the stage gives many Muslims within the country the ability to focus on a strong leader and not be mixed in the Arab cause or issues, like Al-Uhmabi tries to do...in my view Al-Uhmabi will do all she can to bring Nouri down..."

Whatever may the be case, it's clear that this is only the start of a conflict between the most powerful Muslims of Iran and the Middle East.
