AhlulBayt News Agency: The world continues to ignore the turmoil created by the United States and “Israel” across the so‑called Middle East, a region rich in resources and strategic importance. While global powers quietly wait for circumstances to shift in their favor, Washington aggressively mobilizes on behalf of its protégé, “Israel,” as Arab populations cling to the hope of a savior who might end decades of war, destruction, and recurring explosions.
For years, Zionist narratives have portrayed the Islamic Republic of Iran as a threat to humanity. Iran has drawn intense American and Israeli focus because it embodies two elements feared by the Zionist project: its identity as an Islamic state in both form and substance, and its growing strength—combined with advanced weaponry capable of threatening the Israeli entity.
Today Is No Longer Like Yesterday Former U.S. President Trump continues to hope he can achieve his goals without direct confrontation—not out of moral restraint, but because he fears the consequences of provoking Iran. Observers widely agree that any Iranian response would be devastating and would shatter what remains of Washington’s regional prestige.
For decades, the United States relied on its military superiority, pouring enormous budgets into weapons development and using them to impose its will globally. But this advantage is no longer exclusive. International assessments—including American ones—now rank Iran among the world’s advanced military powers, possessing deterrent capabilities capable of delivering harsh lessons to both the U.S. and “Israel.”
What Observers Failed to Analyze Washington demands that Iran dismantle its defensive capabilities while simultaneously seeking control over its oil and mineral wealth—an approach analysts describe as brazen interference in Iran’s internal affairs. A recent White House claim that “Iran is squandering its wealth” stunned observers, who noted that such statements exceed all diplomatic norms and intrude into matters that are none of Washington’s concern.
Pro‑U.S. voices further argue that Iran’s wealth does not benefit its people—an assertion critics describe as arrogant and dismissive of Iran’s sovereign right to manage its own resources and development strategies.
The U.S. That Will Be Targeted A painful reality persists: the Arab and Islamic world remains largely passive in the face of threats to regional security. Analysts say this political ignorance has contributed to the region’s weakness and inability to deter aggression. Even if American actions ignite chaos across the region, some regimes will merely polish their outdated weapons while waiting for a “reckoning.”
Iranian leaders have repeatedly warned that any U.S. attack would engulf the entire region, especially countries hosting American bases. They stress that Iran will not remain idle and will respond with deterrent strikes, noting that U.S. forces are spread across bases, aircraft carriers, and naval vessels throughout the region.
Despite American pressure, Tehran does not expect Arab governments to intervene. The consequences of U.S. escalation are inevitable, and Iran—according to its leaders and as demonstrated in the 12‑day war—will retaliate if attacked. Iran did not build its military capabilities for display; it built them for real confrontation.
Even as negotiations continue, Iran remains wary of American duplicity. According to Reuters, citing an Iranian diplomatic source, Iran has placed its armed forces on “maximum defensive alert,” preparing for all possible scenarios.
