The Qatari government has confirmed, in an official document submitted to the ITU, that Iran’s defensive strikes against American forces stationed on Qatari soil "were directed towards US military facilities. […] No civilian areas have been targeted.”
The sole exception alleged by Qatar was an attack against a gas facility on 18 March. It should be recalled, however, that the facilities struck that day were serving US military aggression against Iran.
This stands in stark contrast to the United States’ long record of deliberate attacks on civilian targets - schools, hospitals, residential neighborhoods, wedding ceremonies, bridges, and more.
There is a vast difference between a civilized nation that has learned the importance of adhering to moral and humanitarian principles even under the most distressing circumstances, and warmongering rulers who observe no rule of law or ethics in their projection of power.
The US Secretary of the Treasury has boasted of “suffocating” Iran through economic sanctions.
Beyond its sheer pathos, the claim is a stark testament to America’s compulsive addiction to sanctions. Whenever Washington proves itself incapable of pursuing diplomacy, it retreats into sanctions; and whenever those sanctions fail to produce results, it simply increases the dose.
This is no longer 'policy'—it is 'habit'; and more dangerously still, it is an addiction that has displaced thought itself.
Iran has demonstrated over decades that it will not be strangled by these exhausted refrains. The real risk is that American politicians, clinging to this bad habit, will instead strangle their own remaining chances of a less humiliating exit from a crisis of their own making.
Coinciding with the start of the third year of Dr. Pezeshkian’s Presidency, Imam Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, met and spoke with the President about economic and military matters.
Dr. Mohsen Rezaee, I am hopeful that you will achieve great successes in carrying out this important responsibility [Leader's representative in the Supreme National Security Council].
“To the victor belong the spoils,” the U.S. President has declared. “We’re taking a lot of oil from Venezuela—billions and billions of barrels of oil… And we’re doing the same in the Islamic Republic of Iran", he has added.
One cannot help but think of Joseph Heller’s Catch-22, in which Milo Minderbinder, an opportunist profiteer, turns war into a profit-making venture. The Novel portrays an absurd world where 'war' and 'profit-making' become so deeply entangled that one can see folks are fighting for their own selfish financial interests rather than for their country.
The U.S. President appears to be lifting that same logic straight out of the world of fiction and place it at the heart of American foreign policy.
Regarding Iran, he says they'll do the same as they allegedly did in Venezuela. There’s just one small problem, though; before you claim the 'spoils of war', you actually have to win the war—not get stuck in a strait, fall short of your stated (malign) objectives, run low on weapons, and lose credibility along the way.
So far, the “spoils of Iran” amount to nothing more than a paper trophy for a victory that shows no sign of materializing.
Milo at least knew how to make profit out of war؛ these people are busy dividing the spoils in front of the cameras before they’ve even laid hands on them.
Iran's Powerful Armed Forces have shown their readiness, capability, and might in face of the world's most expensive military.
When Muslims stand together, we can face every challenge by malicious outsiders head-on.
Time to rely only on ourselves and embrace true brotherhood.
“Massive attack coming… wait, never mind, they want to negotiate.”
That’s theater diplomacy on loop.
Using bullying + broken promises + fake news as leverage is a failed strategy.
Acknowledge the facts and fulfill your commitments. We don’t need more theater.

فَكِد كَيدَكَ وَاسعَ سَعيَكَ وناصِب جَهدَكَ، فَوَاللَّهِ لا تَمحُوَنَّ ذِكرَنا، ولا تُميتُ وَحيَنا، ولا تُدرِكَ أمَدَنا، ولا تَرحَضُ عَنكَ عارَها، وهَل رَأيُكَ إلّا فَنَدٌ، وأيّامُكَ إلّا عَدَدٌ ، وجَمعُكَ إلّا بَدَدٌ، يَومَ يُنادِي المُنادِ: ألا لَعنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الظّالِمينَ.
فَالحَمدُ للَّهِِ الَّذي خَتَمَ لِأَوَّلِنا بِالسَّعادَةِ وَالمَغفِرَةِ، ولِآخِرِنا بِالشَّهادَةِ وَالرَّحمَةِ، ونَسأَلُ اللَّهَ أن يُكمِلَ لَهُمُ الثَّوابَ ويوجِبَ لَهُمُ المَزيدَ، ويُحسِنَ عَلَينَا الخِلافَةَ إنَّهُ رَحيمٌ وَدودٌ، حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ.
(خطبة السيدة زينب الكبرى عليها السلام في مجلس يزيد بن معاوية في الشام)
ای يزيد! هر كيد و مكری كه داری بکن، هر كوششی كه خواهی بنمای، هر جهد كه داری به كار گير؛ به خدا سوگند هرگز نتوانی نام و ياد ما را محو كنی، وحی ما را نتوانی خاموش کنی، به نهایت ما نتوانی رسيد، و هرگز ننگ اين ستم را از خود نتوانی زدود. اندیشه تو سست، و روزگار قدرت تو اندک، و جمعيت تو رو به پراكندگی است؛ و روزی منادی حق ندا دردهد كه: لعنت خدا بر ستمكاران باد.
سپاس خدای را كه اول ما را به سعادت و مغفرت رقم زد و سرانجام ما را به شهادت و رحمت فائز گرداند. از خدا میخواهيم كه ثواب آنها را كامل كند و بر ثوابشان بيفزايد، و برای ما نيكو جانشين باشد، كه اوست خداوند رحيم و پروردگار ودود، و خداوند ما را بس است و او چه نیکو وکیل و تکیهگاهی است.
(بخشی از خطبه حضرت زینب -سلامالله علیها- در روز اول صفر سال ۶۱ هجری در دربار یزد بن معاویه در شام)
