The Pentagon: The United States does not want to go to war with Iran after bombing three of its nuclear sites. (AP News)
Comment:
The Pentagon says the United States does not want to go to war with Iran; this is after it dropped fourteen bunker-buster bombs on three nuclear facilities deep inside Iranian territory! Such a statement is not only hypocritical, but it is also outrageous. It embodies an arrogant colonial mentality. How can any sane person believe that war is not the intention when a country launches coordinated strikes on another country?!
But what is more disturbing than this administration's deception is the world's silence and helplessness in the face of this blatant aggression. The recent American operation, called "Operation Midnight Hammer," is not evidence of America's strength, but rather a humiliating exposure of the political impotence and division that plagues the Islamic nation. It is not because the nation lacks the means to defend its rights, but because the will is scattered across fragmented borders, governed by regimes whose primary concern is to maintain their thrones, and whose loyalty is to Washington before their own people.
The Pentagon openly boasted that American bombers entered Iranian airspace undetected! This event should be a moment of deep reflection and serious reckoning. The Islamic nation spans continents, possesses enormous wealth, controls strategic sea lanes, and includes some of the largest armies in the world. However, this enormous potential is paralyzed; not because of the enemy's strength, but because of the absence of political unity and leadership that truly represents the people.
Allah Almighty has bestowed upon this nation all the elements of sovereignty, advancement, and global leadership. However, our resources remain scattered, and our armies are confined by artificial borders. The attacks on the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan facilities are not just tactical strikes, but clear symbolic messages; they are messages directed to every regime in the Muslim world: Surrender, give up your weapons, negotiate on our terms, or face destruction!
Therefore, the call for the Islamic political system; the Khilafah (Caliphate), to restore justice, balance, and mercy to humanity, as it did in its past, is not just an idealistic dream, but a duty, a necessity, and the only possible path towards the future. The Khilafah would reshape the global balance of power, and bring the nation back to being the best nation brought forth for mankind, carrying God's message to all of humanity.
"And obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not dispute, lest you lose courage and your strength depart; and be patient. Indeed, Allah is with the patient."
