AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Eric Walberg, a Western author, emphasizes in his article the inefficacy of international systems, from communism to imperialism, and argues that the 21st century was the century of Islam and Iran.
He contends that despite the collapse of major ideological frameworks, Islam has emerged as a defining force in global politics and cultural identity during this period. Iran stands out as a pivotal nation whose revolutionary trajectory and resistance to Western hegemony have symbolized a broader shift in global power dynamics:
The war on Iran is the 21st “Ten days that shook the world”. That was John Reed's account of the 1917 Russia revolution, that defined the 20th c. Communism was the secular utopian that defined world politics for the entire century, defeating German fascism, and liberating the colonial world, from Africa to Asia.
The imperialists finally defeated communism, but its goals – security and peace for the masses – remain unfulfilled. They are the goals of Islam, which took the communists' torch, holding it higher than atheism ever could. Supersonically high. Ballistically high. And it is the Persians leading the way.
The Arab Sunnis were enslaved in the 19-20th cc and are still the plaything of US-Israel, but the Shia, the conscience of Islam, were never cowed. Shia Iran was manipulated by the British and Americans, but never fully occupied, leaving their culture and religion in tact. The CIA-inspired overthrow of Mossadegh in 1953, installing a puppet king, bore its bitter fruit in the 1979 Islamic revolution.
That epochal even is now bearing its explosive fruit, raining down on US-Israel, its Arab satraps and Israel itself, which is getting the same treatment that Israel has inflicted on Gaza for 2 1/2 years. Correction: Iran's treatment is civilized, with hardly any humans killed, only military installations and tit-for-tat infrastructure destruction. God has blessed Iran with brilliant scientists and farsighted leaders intent on defending Iran and ending Israeli apartheid, while respecting the value of human life, even the enemies’.
Finally, the Arab world is finding its soul in this world-shattering conflagration. Bombs only go so far. It is via culture, 'hearts and minds', that the real victory occurs. The song ''Take me to the streets of Tehran'' has gone viral, exploding on the Internet, where US-Israel hegemony struggles with genuine emotions of the masses: the honor of Arabness has been lost. It is Persian hands that raise the bands of honor.
The learning curve is steep for Sunnis, pampered by oil wealth and US-Israeli slick seduction, but the kowtowing leaders fear their masses, who long to free Palestine of the Jewish invaders, not to become their slaves. The Saudi Wahhabis are happy to be controlled by the Epstein class; indeed MBS and Emirati sheikhs have intimate pictures with their friend Epstein.
This is anathema to believing Muslims. They are giving notice to their leaders who continue their perfidy in working hand-in-glove with US-Israel, even as Iranian bombs target Dimona nuclear arsenal and US aircraft carriers threatening the Strait of Hormuz and Iran. Demonstrators in Bahrain are being quelled by Saudi troops. In videos online, you can hear the people cheering on the Iranian bombs falling around them. Saudi and Kuwaiti leaders hesitate to join their overlords in attacking Iran.
US conned into fighting Israel’s war
The US has been sucked into Israel's plan for first, Middle East hegemony, with the ultmate goal of world hegemony, as Zionist fanatics happily admit. For them, in their perverse world, goys were created to serve Jews, and their lives are worthless. The plan is to convince their 'collective West' goys to hand them this hegemony on a gold platter, decorated with gold pagers.
This explains how Israelis can sit on their balconies drinking toasts as they celebrate and watch Gazans being murdered, how they can daily arrest, humiliate and torture Palestinians and not feel remorse. They have been doing this since 1948, the Nakba, when 100.000s of Palestinians were dispossesed and murdered, their homes and belongings stolen and appropriated by Israeli settlers, fresh from Europe and America. I can't imagine enduring this. Palestinians have endured for 78 years.
Is this just a war for land? No. The Jewish invaders were and are mostly secular, as are most people of the 'collective West’ and are happy to steal land in the imperial tradition. But this could be better described as the ‘Jewish West’, as Jews were embedded in their empires from the start, and today control the levers of economic and hence political power in the old imperial countries, culminating in US-Israel. And the Jews frame the conflict in religious terms, using the Old Testament as a real estate manual, 'proving' God gave them the land that Palestinians have lived on for millennia.
This sleight of hand convincing gullible Christians to support them, culminating in US President Trump's war which Israel believes is necessary to complete its world-hegemonic ambitions. Defeating Iran, turning it into another Egypt or Jordan, whose leaders signed agreements with US-Israel acknowledging US-Israeli hegemony in the region, a phony peace, a violent peace, the peace of ruthless victors.
But Iran is the oldest civilization on Earth, flourishing long before anyone spoke Hebrew or laid claims to world control. Persia was the seat of empire but was never as vicious as Greek and Roman empires were, and eventually embraced Islam, unlike the 'Jewish West', which abandoned all religion, worshipping instead money and brute power.
Battle for al-Aqsa is jihad
So while the enemy, the 'Jewish West', is happy to think in godless terms, using the Bible as a gimmick to paper over their open theft, Iran and the Islamic world as a whole, sees everything through the light of morality, genuine spirituality, excepting of course the coopted Sunni leaders, who instead hide behind the skirts of US-Israel. This is a battle to defend the sacred site of al-Aqsa,
Which brings us to the key to this 21st c ‘ten days that shook the world’. It is the threat to destroy Islam's greatest, holiest site after Mecca and Medina, al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, immortalized in the Quran's Surah al-Isra, the Prophet's night journey, confirming his prophethood, that lights the fire of jihad, struggle, in Muslims' hearts.
Jerusalem's hard-fought liberation, now in process, is a recapitulation of the Christian Crusades of the 11th—13th cc, this time, not by the knight on a white horse of legend, but through the long march of guerilla warfare by the much-maligned Shia. This follows on the liberation of Iran from its Judeo-Christian yoke in 1979 and Iraq 25 years later, ironically by the US, forming the second Shia majority state. But it is the Shia minority of Lebanon that holds the keys to Jerusalem. Their 40% of the Lebanese population punches well above their weight in a fractious country split among Christians, and Sunni and Shia Muslims.
Netanyahu dealt them a terrible, inhuman blow with the now notorious pager scandal, exploding cellphones in the pockets of thousands of Lebanese, civilians and fighters, young and old, alike. This was admired by Trump and Netanyahu presented him with a gold-laminated pager as a paperweight, harking back to Nazis celebrating their genocide as festivals with drinking and dancing.
That was only the beginning of US-Israeli atrocities since 10/7 2023, when Hamas launched al-Aqsa Flood, the defiant, heroic battle for al-Aqsa. It was only Hezbollah, the Yemenis and Iran that supported them, closing down the Red Sea and now the Strait of Hormuz, bringing world commerce to its current state of crisis.
For it is only by economic stranglehold that the world can be brought to its senses, courtesy of the Muslim Shia masses and leaders, and increasingly the Sunni masses, despite their craven leaders. Iran is dragging the latter in the 21st c, which will be the century of Islam, taking over the mantle of the defeated communists, and inspiring the world to end imperialism, to make the economy serve the people, not a tiny Epstein elite.
