Default Arab radio pirates-is 7245 not a ham band now?

Depends upon where you are. In Europe and Africa, and western Asia,
7.000-7.100 is an exclusive ham band. 7.100 to 7.200 is also NOW an
exclusive ham band, but stations that were there have time to move,
they are not being forced to.

7.200 on up is a Shortwave broadcasting band.

Note that not all countries enforce these rules and some places let you
operate on whatever frequency you want.

7.000-7.300 is a ham band in the Americas, but as you wrote, it's shared
with SWBC stations.

I have no idea of what's allocated in eastern Asia, Oz, etc.

Just because someone is broadcasting in Arabic does not mean they are in what
is traditionaly considered an Arab country. For example, there is an Indian
language longwave station in the middle of England.
