It has been forty-four
years since the Islamic Revolution of Iran. And with it, the Pakistan- Us
Islamic Jihad against the Soviet forces in Afghanistan is also almost forty-four
years old. The United States and NATO were fighting against the same Islamic jihadists,
now the Taliban in Afghanistan for twenty years to eliminate them, while Pakistan
is still facing them. The Islamic Revolution of Iran has not changed the region
in 44 years as much as the Islamic Jihad in Afghanistan has changed the region.
The war to democratize Afghanistan has weakened the democratic process in
Pakistan. The Afghan war has plunged Pakistan into corruption. While in Iran,
there is a successful continuation of the Islamic constitution and democratic
process. Elections in Iran have never been delayed and they have been held
despite the severe economic sanctions imposed by the United States. For 44
years, Iran and America consider each other their enemies. The Israeli has been
at war with Iran since King David's Kingdom when Iran was the Persian Empire. And
it will continue like this for the next five thousand years.
Iran has kept its Islamic
revolution within its borders for 44 years. Iraq has a Shia government, but
Iran has not spread its ideological revolution in Iraq. But to keep the Arabs
afraid, it is propagated that Iran’s influence is increasing in the Arab world.
As the Arabs were threatened during the Cold War that the Soviet Union wanted access
to the warm waters of the Gulf. But today the warm waters of the Gulf are
occupied by the fleets of the United States. Perhaps one day Israel will have
the same intentions. By scaring the Arabs, America started selling billions of dollars
worth of arms to the Arabs, and America kept its arms industry afloat. When Saddam
Hussein was in Iraq, the Arab rulers were afraid of Saddam Hussein. The Arab
rulers had never used their wisdom that we have to live with everyone in this
region. Why will Iran destabilize the region? What will Iran gain from this? If
Iran destabilizes the region, it will also be destabilized. The Arab rulers had
authorized the war against Iraq. Then the Arab rulers gave permission to attack
Libya. Arab rulers participated in destroying Syria. These preemptive wars were
destabilizing the Middle East. But if the Arab rulers were listening to America
and Israel, it was Iran that was destabilizing the Middle East. Arab leaders
who used their wisdom in the Middle East were to become the first victims of regime
change.
During the Bush administration, Arab rulers
were US allies against al-Qaeda in Yemen and were fighting against terrorists.
But in the last days of President Obama’s administration, the Arab rulers were
given the war to fight the Houthis in Yemen. For seven years this bloody war
was going on with the poor Yemenis. America kept selling them weapons and they
kept killing each other. America and Israel continued this propaganda that Iran
was arming the Yemenis. America made about one trillion dollars from this war. What
was being spent in Afghanistan was covered by this war. When President Joe Biden
came to power, he ended the Saudi-Yemeni war in 48 hours. And Iran did not see any
role in the ceasefire. In order to divert attention from the Palestinian issue,
Israel started calling Iran a major threat in the Middle East. However, the evidence
was to the contrary. The major threat in the Middle East is the Palestinian-Israel
conflict. But making it small has made Iran a big threat.
Islamic Revolution Iran has gone through great
ups and downs. In the early years of the revolution, Iran was forced to go to
war with Iraq, which was fought for ten years. And more than a million Iranian
soldiers were killed in this war. There was a shortage of men for Iranian women
to marry. Several thousand Iranian soldiers were injured in this war. Therefore,
after this war, the Iranian government does not want a war with anyone in the region. The Israeli government killed Iran’s nuclear scientists. The Israeli
government attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities. The Iranian government did not
consider it appropriate to respond to these provocative actions of Israel. The Iranian
government tolerated them with great patience because Iran did not want a new
war in the Middle East.
America is the only
country in the world that has continued to fight battles since the Vietnam War,
and it can afford wars. President George Bush said, “We can go to war with 60
countries at the same time.” Iran has survived among venomous snakes under
difficult conditions. The United States has responded to reports from the
Israeli government about Iraq having a stockpile of deadly weapons. But America
ditched Iraq and lethal weapons were nowhere to be found. When Ayatollah Khamenei
issued a fatwa that making lethal weapons is prohibited in Islam. After this
fatwa, the Iranian government cannot make lethal weapons. This can only happen in a dangerous situation when venomous snakes come to regime change. Iran doesn’t
want to waste resources on lethal weapons, in principle, let us live, and you too
live.
