Though it is widely known that the script is written in Tel Aviv by a wanted war criminal facing charges at the Hague for genocide in Gaza, the execution of the war on the Islamic Republic of Iran by the Trump administration in cahoots with the Zionist regime follows a pattern of racist white supremacists.
The target is Iran. The price is a bloodbath. The goal has precedence in a history of vile hatred against Islam and Muslim nations that refuse to be vassals of the West.
Independence and self-determination by the only Muslim state in post-colonialism, founded on values of human rights and justice, for itself and oppressed people across the globe, has posed a threat to corrupt Western domination since the groundbreaking Islamic Revolution of 1979 led by Imam Khomeini, which toppled an Israeli/American lackey.
Since then, every trick in CIA and Mossad's books has been tried to remove Iran's principled Islamic government and replace it with the corrupt dictatorship that will be subservient to the Western hegemonic powers, as it was before the 1979 revolution.
Puppets like Reza Pahlavi do not operate in a vacuum. As a committed Zionist, his political orientation to serve US/Israeli interests has been incubated in Washington and Tel Aviv. He accounts not to Iran but to those who manipulate him: CIA and Mossad.
In his folly, he forgets that the history of his family's repression and tyranny was orchestrated by the British colonial empire during the 1920s and culminated in the infamous coup against the democratically elected government in the mid-1950s.
Reza Pahlavi's vain hope to be installed on the despised "Peacock Throne" relies on the US and Israel’s war on Iran - in other words, at gunpoint in typical gangster style.
The collective memory of millions of Iranians who remain faithful to Islam and the revolutionary ideals of the Islamic Republic will recall how Britain orchestrated a coup to install his notorious grandfather Reza Khan.
They forcefully imposed a loyal secular dictator not to serve Iran, but to secure Britain's oil interests and to disrupt any efforts by Persia, as it was known then, to unite with the Muslim Caliphate.
Indeed, in March 1924, just days after Kamal Ataturk abolished the Ottoman Caliphate, Reza Khan attempted to declare a "Persian Republic" on the Turkish model. When that failed, he crowned himself the new Shah, officially severing Persia's religious, cultural and political links to the wider Caliphate.
Serving British interests, he set out to erase Iran's Islamic identity and replace it with a pre-Islamic nationalist one, dividing Muslims along racial and ethnic lines.
Another important era that is reduced to marginal footnotes is that of Mohammad Mossadegh, who became Prime Minister of Iran in 1951 and was hugely popular for taking a firm stand against the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.
As soon as he nationalised British oil, the CIA and MI6 orchestrated a coup to overthrow him. Reza's notorious father, the Shah, was installed as a puppet, exactly what's being plotted today to ensure that Iran's resources are directed to fill Western coffers.
While the unelected self-anointed "crown prince" waits to be parachuted into power, Trump and Netanyahu’s Operation Shield of Judah and Operation Epic Fury have led to doubts about any likely success of their dubious, illegal war on a sovereign country.
Between glaring contradictions of war goals and the day after, the world, especially the Global South, is acutely aware that while negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program between Washington and Tehran were underway, diplomacy was exposed as deception.
The plot hatched under the pretence created by Trump that he would provide his team more time, instead gave Netanyahu the go-ahead with CENTCOM to unleash terror.
Iranian policymakers had already and rightly accused the US of bad faith after the June 2025 strikes disrupted previously scheduled talks.
Two days after the cowardly assassination of Iran’s Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Tehran has not folded nor collapsed.
To the dismay and shock of the US/Israel calculations, Iran has escalated its retaliation, demonstrating its continued ability to maintain operational command and control across its military assets.
As per the latest reports, Iranian armed forces have inflicted massive costs on the Israeli regime and the United States by targeting with high success their bases and assets in the region, including both in the occupied territories and countries across West Asia.
Iranian missiles have pounded Israeli military installations in different parts of the occupied territories as well as US bases from Bahrain to the UAE to Qatar, demonstrating that despite the assassination of the country’s top leader and key military commanders, Iranian armed forces are firmly in control. An
Contrary to expectations that the Supreme Leader’s death might trigger immediate paralysis, the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran remains firmly in control and the process to elect Ayatollah Khamenei’s successor has already started.
Analysts point out that the scope and depth of Iran’s retaliatory attacks confirm that the system and its institutions remain rock-solid rather than disrupted.
As the country’s leadership has warned, they started it and Iran will decide how and when to end it.
