Is Tehran's Bombing of the Al Udeid US Air Base in Qatar a Repeat of the Previous Scenario?

Is Tehran's Bombing of the Al Udeid US Air Base in Qatar a Repeat of the Previous Scenario?

News:

During the war between Iran and the Jewish entity, America bombed Iranian nuclear facilities with B-2 aircraft. Iran responded by bombing the Al Udeid US Air Base in Qatar with missiles.

Comment:

Firstly, Iran's attack on the Jewish entity and its bombing of the American base in Qatar is reassuring; however, considering the events that have unfolded with Iran's attack, the following question arises: Are these Iranian attacks evidence of its entry into a real war with the Jewish entity and America, or are they merely a repeat of the previous scenario?

In order to understand the truth about Iran, let us take a quick look at its past and its relationship with America:

From here began its role in the region, but when America helped Khomeini overthrow the Shah and bring him from Paris to take over the reins of power when he pledged to follow its orbit. When the first Syrian revolution broke out in the 1980s, Iran supported the American-affiliated Assad regime, and forced Islamic factions in Lebanon, such as the Tawhid Movement, to surrender to it. In the second Syrian revolution, which broke out in 2011, it sent its soldiers and followers to fight the Muslims of Syria who were revolting against the regime and calling for the establishment of the Caliphate and God's rule.

Iran supported America in its occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq and made its followers support the occupation, and since 2014 it has made them fight alongside it the Muslims who are revolting against America and its agents, and it supported the Houthis, whom America supported to seize power in Yemen.

In addition, Iran's failure to carry out any harmful attack against the Jewish entity since the beginning of the war on Gaza, the failure of the Houthis, whom it supports in Yemen, to carry out any attack against the Jewish entity despite their declaration of standing by Gaza, and the lack of any impact of the missiles fired by the group that deters the Jewish entity or harms it, all this is another proof that confirms the reality of Iran's position.

In fact, America has made many statements indicating that all of Iran's actions in the region were carried out with its knowledge. For example, during his election campaign, US President Donald Trump made the following statement to his supporters in a video clip released on June 11, 2023: "Iran asked us after the killing of Soleimani to launch missiles at our bases because it needed to save face in front of public opinion," and said: "The Iranians contacted us, and said we have no choice, we have to hit you to save face. And I understood that. We hit them, they have to do something, and they said we will launch 18 missiles at a specific military base you have, but don't worry, the missiles will not reach the base," and added: "Do you remember that night, I was the only one who was not nervous because I knew what was going to happen, 5 of the missiles launched by Iran flew over the base and the rest of the missiles exploded outside the base area, I have not talked about this story before, and I am talking about it now so that you know the extent of respect for our nation and our country." This is the other reality that shows the extent of Iran's relationship with America.

Now we move on to Tehran's bombing of the Al Udeid American base in Qatar with missiles; in order to clarify this issue completely, we present a news item published by the New York Times on 2025/06/24 and signed by the newspaper's correspondent in the United Nations office and the person in charge of news about Iran and the Middle East, Farnaz Fassihi: "Iran was looking for a way out before launching the missiles that targeted the American base in Qatar. Even the Iranian Supreme National Security Council held an extraordinary meeting yesterday morning to discuss how to respond to the American attack. Iran does not want to be in a weak position. Indeed, according to information provided by four Iranian officials familiar with the war plans, who were not disclosed, Khamenei wanted the responses to the United States to remain within certain limits, thus avoiding entering into a comprehensive war with the United States. The authorities confirmed that Iran wants to strike an American target in the region, but it also wants to prevent any new attacks from the United States. Two members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard also reported in statements to the newspaper that Al Udeid Air Base was bombed for two reasons: The first reason is that this base is the largest American base in the region, and it is believed that this base is used to coordinate the attacks of B-2 aircraft that were launched on the weekend. The second reason is that Qatar is a close ally of Iran, so it was believed that the damage could be kept to a minimum. Again, one of the officials confirmed that the plan before the attack on the American base in Qatar was not to kill any American soldiers, because there was concern that any loss of life on the American side might push the Americans to retaliate, which could lead to a new cycle of attacks. In the statement made by Trump following the attack, it was confirmed that 13 out of 14 missiles launched by Iran were shot down, and there were no fatalities or injuries, and that the damage was minor. Trump even made an interesting statement, thanking Iran for "sending an early warning," and stressed that there were no casualties as a result. The Tehran administration presented the attack to the public as "the price of the Americans' attack on Iran." The spokesman for the Iranian armed forces said in front of the cameras that the Revolutionary Guard carried out the attack, adding: "We warn our enemies: the era of hit and run is over." The scenes broadcast by Iranian state television also praised Iran's victory over the imperialist powers." (End of quote from the newspaper).

If we pay attention to the texts in the newspapers, we find that Iran builds all its moves on America's reaction. As stated in the news above, the fact that 13 out of 14 missiles launched by Iran were shot down and that there were no fatalities or injuries is the best evidence of this. This actually indicates that Iran did not carry out a serious attack that would harm America, but rather carried out these attacks only to maintain its reputation in front of its people. Trump, who is indeed an enemy of Islam and Muslims, revealed this fact in his statement about Iran's attack on the American military base, when he said: "I thank Iran for the early warning, so there were no casualties." Where is it seen that an enemy thanks for the attack that was made on him, for God's sake?!

 Unfortunately, all of these indications suggest that Iran has not entered into a serious war against America and the Jewish entity, that it has betrayed God, His Messenger, and the believers, including the people of Gaza, and that it is acting only for its own personal interests, and never cares about the blood of innocent Muslims. Therefore, all Muslims must realize this fact, and immediately pledge allegiance to a righteous Caliph who will take revenge on the Jewish entity and America, protect the blood, souls, and honor of Muslims, and respond with huge armies to the cry of a single Muslim anywhere in the world.

Turkey and Arab Regimes Asked Hamas to Lay Down Their Weapons

Turkey and Arab Regimes Asked Hamas to Lay Down Their Weapons

Turkey and Arab Regimes Asked Hamas to Lay Down Their Weapons

(Translated)

News:

The high-level United Nations international conference entitled "Finding a Peaceful Solution to the Palestinian Issue and Implementing the Two-State Solution" was held in New York on July 29 and 30, led by France and Saudi Arabia. Following the conference, which aimed to recognize Palestine as a state and end the war in Gaza, a joint declaration was signed. In addition to the European Union and the League of Arab States, Turkey also signed the declaration along with 17 other countries. The declaration, which consisted of 42 articles and an annex, condemned Operation Al-Aqsa Flood carried out by Hamas. The participating countries called on Hamas to lay down its weapons and demanded that it hand over its administration to the Mahmoud Abbas regime. (Agencies, July 31, 2025).

Comment:

Considering the countries running the conference, the presence of America is clearly evident, and despite not having the authority or influence to make decisions, the Saudi regime, its servant, accompanying France is the clearest evidence of this.

In this regard, French President Emmanuel Macron stated on July 24 that France would officially recognize the Palestinian state in September, and would be the first G7 country to do so. Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barreau held a press conference at the conference, announcing the goals of the New York Declaration. In fact, in the statement issued after the conference, the massacres of the Jewish entity were condemned without taking any punitive decision against it, and Hamas was asked to disarm and hand over the administration of Gaza to Mahmoud Abbas.

In the new Middle East strategy that America seeks to implement based on the Abraham Accords, the Salman regime represents the spearhead. Normalization with the Jewish entity will begin after the war, with Saudi Arabia; then other countries will follow, and this wave will turn into a strategic alliance extending from North Africa to Pakistan. The Jewish entity will also receive a security guarantee as an important part of this alliance; then America will use this alliance as fuel in its conflict against China and Russia, and to include Europe completely under its wings, and of course, against the possibility of establishing the Caliphate.

The obstacle to this plan currently is the war in Gaza and then the anger of the Ummah, which is increasing and is about to explode. Therefore, the United States preferred that the European Union, the Arab regimes, and Turkey take the initiative in the New York Declaration. Thinking that accepting the decisions contained in the declaration would be easier.

As for the Arab regimes and Turkey, their mission is to please the United States, protect the Jewish entity, and in return for this obedience, protect themselves from the anger of their peoples, and live a humiliating life with the crumbs of cheap power until they are thrown away or afflicted with the torment of the afterlife. Turkey's reservation on the declaration, on the condition that the so-called two-state solution plan is implemented, is only an attempt to cover up the real goal of the declaration and mislead Muslims, and it has no real value.

In conclusion, the path to liberating Gaza and all of Palestine is not through a fictitious state in which Jews live. The Islamic solution for Palestine is the rule of Islam in the usurped land, which is to fight the usurper, and to mobilize the armies of Muslims to uproot the Jews from the blessed land. The permanent and radical solution is to establish the Rightly Guided Caliphate and protect the blessed land of Isra and Mi'raj with the shield of the Caliphate. God willing, those days are not far away.

The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "The Hour will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims will kill them, until the Jew hides behind the stone and the tree, and the stone or the tree says: O Muslim, O servant of God, there is a Jew behind me, so come and kill him." (Narrated by Muslim)

What America Wants is Official Recognition of the Jewish Entity, Even if Weapons Remain

What America Wants is Official Recognition of the Jewish Entity, Even if Weapons Remain

What America Wants is Official Recognition of the Jewish Entity, Even if Weapons Remain

The News:

Most of the political and security news in Lebanon revolves around the issue of weapons targeting the Jewish entity, without any other weapons, and focusing on it by most political analysts and journalists.

Comment:

America is asking for the weapons that fought the Jews to be handed over to the Lebanese army, and it does not care about any weapons that remain in the hands of all the people, which can be used internally when it finds an interest in doing so, or between Muslims in neighboring countries.

America, the greatest enemy of us Muslims, said it frankly, even rudely, when its envoy Barack stated from Lebanon that the weapon that must be handed over to the Lebanese state is the weapon that can be used against the Jewish entity occupying blessed Palestine, and not any other individual or medium weapon because this does not harm the Jewish entity, but rather serves it and serves America and the entire West in inciting it to fight between Muslims under the pretext of takfiris, extremists, reactionaries, or backward people, or other descriptions that they fuel among Muslims under the pretext of sectarianism, nationalism, or ethnicity, or even between Muslims and others who have lived with us for hundreds of years and found nothing from us but the preservation of honor, money, and life, and that we were applying the laws to them as we apply them to ourselves, they have what we have and they are obligated to do what we are obligated to do. For the Sharia ruling is the basis of governance for Muslims, whether among themselves, or between them and other subjects of the state.

As long as our greatest enemy, America, wants to destroy or neutralize the weapon that harms the Jewish entity, then why focus on that among politicians and media professionals?!

Why are the most important topics raised in the media and in the Council of Ministers, at the request of the American enemy, without examining them in depth and clarifying the extent of their danger to the nation, the most dangerous of which is the demarcation of the land borders with the Jewish entity, that is, the official recognition of this occupying entity, in a way that no one after that has the right to carry weapons, any weapons, for the sake of Palestine, which is the property of all Muslims and not only the people of Palestine, as they try to convince us as if it belongs only to the people of Palestine?!

The danger lies in presenting this matter sometimes under the title of peace, sometimes under the title of reconciliation, and at other times under the title of security in the region, or under the title of economic, tourism and political prosperity, and the prosperity that they promise Muslims in the event of recognition of this monstrous entity!

America knows very well that Muslims can never be satisfied with recognizing the Jewish entity, and that is why you see it creeping into them through other things to distract them from the most important fateful matter. Yes, America wants us to focus on the issue of weapons, but it knows that weapons, no matter how powerful, will not work and cannot be used against the Jewish entity if official Lebanon recognizes it by demarcating the borders with it, and thus recognizes it and its right to the land of blessed Palestine, under the pretext of the Muslim rulers and the Palestinian Authority.

This recognition of the Jewish entity is a betrayal of God, His Messenger, and the believers, and of all the blood of the martyrs that has been shed and continues to be shed for the liberation of Palestine, and despite all that, we still hope for good in our nation, some of whom are fighting in Gaza, Hashim, and in Palestine, and they say to us with their blood: We will never recognize the Jewish entity, even if it costs us all this and more... So, do we accept in Lebanon to recognize the Jewish entity, no matter how difficult the circumstances are?! Do we accept to demarcate the borders with it, that is, to recognize it, even if the weapons are left with us?! It is the question that we must answer before it is too late.
