The United States is once again playing the role of a “global bully” in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict.
Before launching its recent offensive against Iran, the “Zionist state of Israel” reportedly informed the U.S. of its intent to strike. On Friday morning, Israel carried out a deadly attack on Iranian soil. The strike resulted in the martyrdom of civilians, including women and children, as well as military personnel—among them, Iran’s Chief of Staff and key scientists.
In response, Iran declared this act of aggression a “declaration of war”.
U.S. President Donald Trump hailed the Israeli attack as “decisive” and suggested that Iran should come to the negotiating table. But how can a country that has just suffered a military onslaught, civilian casualties, and a targeted attack on its leadership be expected to engage in peace talks?
Once again, Washington’s “blatant pro-Israel bias” is on full display. After Gaza, Syria, and Iraq, Israeli aggression has now escalated toward Iran—with the “clear backing of the United States”.
This dangerous alliance is pushing the region toward chaos and destruction. The Zionist state of Israel is actively undermining regional peace.
Iran responded with “Operation True Promise III”, yet Israeli aggression continues unabated. While Pakistan has strongly condemned Israel’s actions, the broader Muslim world remains silent. Organizations like the “Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC)” appear “ineffective and irrelevant”. At a time like this, the OIC must raise a unified voice against Israeli aggression.
It’s important to note that “Iran has not attacked its neighbors”, whereas Israel has repeatedly done so with impunity. Iran remains a signatory of the “Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)”, yet Israel refuses to even acknowledge or sign it.
Israel is believed to possess “up to 400 nuclear weapons”, but has the world ever found concrete evidence of Iran developing such an arsenal? Absolutely not. For four decades, Israel has waged a systematic “disinformation campaign”, crafting a narrative that paints Iran as a nuclear threat—despite a lack of proof.
Iran doesn’t want nuclear weapons. Iran’s neighbors like the Saudis and others in the gulf don’t want Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Iran’s major ally Russia doesn’t want Iran to have a nuclear weapon ,& Iran doesn’t want nuclear weapons. But Iran doesn’t want to be defeated militarily by Israel and doesn’t want to be bombed to hell by Israel. Also does not want to be sanctioned to death economically by the U.S. which the U.S is doing now for endless years.( Jeffery Sachs) No sovereign state can be expected to tolerate such barbaric behavior.
The violation of Iran’s sovereignty through targeted strikes is not just an act of aggression—it is a direct violation of international law and norms.
At the core of this escalating crisis lies a deeper issue: “the geopolitical mindset of both the United States and Israel”, who appear unwilling to accept the technological, scientific, and strategic advancement of any state outside their sphere of influence. Their fear is not rooted in security but in “the erosion of their monopoly on power and innovation”. Any emerging regional power—especially one from the Global South—is viewed not as a potential partner, but as a threat. This mindset has led to decades of containment policies, propaganda, and preemptive aggression, particularly against nations like Iran that challenge the status quo.
The “United Nations Security Council (UNSC)” must intervene with full zeal to halt Israel’s ongoing “barbaric behavior” and prevent further escalation. Silence or selective diplomacy in the face of such aggression only emboldens the perpetrators and undermines the credibility of international institutions.
Moreover, the “Muslim world must stand firmly with Iran” in this critical hour not just out of solidarity, but out of a clear understanding that “no state is safe” if such actions go unchecked. “Today it’s Iran; tomorrow it could be another.” Unity, not silence, is the only path to resisting oppression and restoring regional stability.
