Is Eu continuing its empire era policy of "Divide and rule"?!
It seems although the life facilities and life standards has been elevating after enlightenment era,and multi steps of industrial revolutions after them,the policies for governing world has not changed yet,their core are remained the same.
One of these policies is changing the territories of nations.
For example changing the territories of Ottoman Empire after its disastrous defeat in World War I.The main winners of that war(i.e. England &France)before ending the war by Sykes-Picot Agreement: 1916(after the name of their two diplomats)sat and divided the Middle East as their later named colonies to newer name of sphere of influences after nationalist movements in that territories.By treaty of Sèvres (1920),France took control of Syria and Lebanon, and England gained control of Iraq and Palestine and Ottoman Empire became today's Turkey.The new countries gained some of their liberties after their national movements. Iraq (gained independence in 1932),Lebanon (gained independence in 1943) and Syria&Jordan (gained independence in 1946).
But what is happened now,which is the reason of writing this article by me as a common Iranian, is this Joint Statement in 1st European Union-Gulf Cooperation Council Summit in 16 October 2024
Apparently something like Sykes-Picot Agreement: 1916 is done about Iran's territory!!

{In it's part D. Iran 45} it says:" We emphasize the importance of adherence to international law, including the UN Charter, based on respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity, non-interference in internal affairs, and refraining from the use of force or threats.
we call on Iran to end its occupation of the three islands of the United Arab Emirates, Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, and Abu Musa, which constitutes a violation of the sovereignty of the UAE and the principles of the Charter of the UN."
In the name of supporting a so vulnerable city-state- which its life has been began in the late 1960s as On December 2, 1971, six of the seven Trucial States (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, and Fujairah) jointly declared their independence and formed the United Arab Emirates ,and the seventh emirate, Ras Al Khaimah, joined the federation on February 10, 1972, completing the seven-emirate union- EU is apparently under the hypocrisy of precious phrase of"international law, including the UN Charter, based on respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity, non-interference in internal affairs, and refraining from the use of force or threats",which are apparently vital elements of sustained peace and stability and prosperity of nations , wants deepen the cracks among Iran and GCC in place of GCC's pursuing its only effective lever that have in this situation, i.e. fuel card.
Surprisingly,EU along with continuing its arm and force backing of Israel for ethnic cleaning of Palestinians says "38. We reaffirm our unwavering commitment to the realization of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination through the Two-State solution where Israel and Palestine live side by side in peace within secure and recognized borders, along the 1967 lines, consistent with international law and relevant UN resolutions and the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative. We will continue to work together towards reviving a political process to this end, including by supporting the Palestinian Authority in its reform plans. Actions weakening the Palestinian Authority must stop"!!
If EU truly wants to stop Israel's ethnic cleaning of Arabs in the region and its brutal project ,why it does not stop its arm and force backing of Israel after one year apparent genocide of Arabs?!And instead of it,EU stirs the illegitimate assertions between neighbors on a stabilized part of the world to spread adversity in that region?!That is definitely continuation of old policy of "Divide and rule" under the mask of friendship which Arab World must have been more alert than this!!
