A Muslim View Of The Conflict In Iran And Tehran's Theocratic Regime

 

In the past few days we have seen the world divide into the usual binary over the US / Israeli attacks on Iran. People on the more conservative end of the political spectrum are supporting Trump's bid to bring down Iran's brutal, theocratic regime, at the other end leftists are in the streets protesting in support of Iran and Gaza. And in the middle, where the balanced, common sense view of the situation should be is the usual void.

 

Now this blog hsas spent the past few days trying to report on the development of the conflicts and its likely effect on the prospetity and lifestyles of people in the east and west, particularly as, with support from China, Iran has the ability to close the sea route throug the Stait of Hormuz which is vital for oil transportation. 

 

Our neutrality was not because we did not want to take sides, although we always try to avoid taking sides in international squabbles, but because the situation is for more complex than we in the west, with only the limited and extremely biased information provided by mainstream media to inform us, can be aware of.

 

As usual the "We're the god guys, they're the bad guys," approach from both sides is totally inadequate. Fortunately  we spotted this post from somebody who does understand the situation on Facebook and as there is an open invitation toshare the post for information, we bring it to you today.

For days now, I have been watching a strange narrative spreading across Western media and social networks: the claim that the confrontation with the Iranian regime is somehow “Israel’s war” and that the United States was dragged into it.

As a Moroccan Muslim and an Arab who has spent years studying the politics of our region, I can say clearly: this argument is not only false—it is intellectually dishonest.

Let us start with a simple fact. The Islamic Republic of Iran has not spent the last four decades declaring war only on Israel. Its leaders openly speak of fighting the “Great Satan” — the United States — and the “Little Satan” — Israel. For 47 years, their ideology has been built around exporting revolution, destabilizing the Middle East, and spreading militant networks across the region.

This is not an Israeli fantasy. It is Iran’s own declared doctrine.

Iran finances militias, trains terrorist organizations, and builds missile and nuclear capabilities while threatening not only Israel but also Arab countries, American forces, and global stability. From Lebanon to Iraq, from Yemen to Syria, the fingerprints of Tehran are everywhere.

So when the United States acts against that regime, it is not acting on behalf of Israel. It is acting to defend its own strategic interests and the stability of the international system.

The idea that Washington needs to be “manipulated” by Jerusalem into recognizing this threat is absurd. 

Every American administration of the 21st century—Republican or Democrat—has stated clearly that preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons is a fundamental national security priority.

The debate in Washington has never been about whether Iran is dangerous. The debate has only been about how to stop it.

Some believed diplomacy and concessions would change the behavior of the clerical regime. Others believe that a regime driven by revolutionary ideology and apocalyptic theology will never voluntarily abandon its ambitions.

But pretending that the Iranian threat exists only in Israel’s imagination is a dangerous illusion.

There is also another uncomfortable truth: Iran today is not an isolated regional actor. It is deeply connected to the broader geopolitical challenge facing the West. 

Tehran has become a strategic partner of Russia and an economic partner of China. Chinese purchases of Iranian oil have helped keep the regime alive despite international sanctions, while Iranian drones have played a central role in Russia’s war in Ukraine.

This is not a local Israeli issue. It is part of a global strategic confrontation.

Those who repeat the slogan “this is Israel’s war” are ignoring the obvious: a nuclear-armed Iran would not threaten only Tel Aviv. It would threaten the entire Middle East, including Arab countries, and it would destabilize global security for decades.

And yet, instead of confronting this reality, many prefer to blame Israel. They claim that the Jewish state somehow controls American policy, pushes Washington into wars, or manipulates global politics behind the scenes.

These accusations are not serious geopolitical analysis. They are recycled conspiracy theories that have circulated for generations.

Criticizing governments is legitimate. Debating military decisions is legitimate. But reducing complex strategic decisions to the idea that “Israel controls America” is not criticism—it is propaganda.

Israel does not need to invent the Iranian threat. Iranian leaders themselves have repeatedly called for the destruction of the Jewish state. They openly describe Israel as a country that could be erased with a single nuclear weapon. No responsible nation would ignore such threats.

Standing against the Iranian regime is not about serving Israel. It is about preventing a radical theocracy from acquiring the most dangerous weapons on earth and using them to reshape the Middle East through intimidation, violence, and nuclear blackmail.

If that threat disappears, Israel will be safer. But so will Arab nations, Europe, and the United States.

Recognizing that reality does not require being Jewish or Israeli.

Sometimes it simply requires honesty.

And as an Arab Muslim who believes in stability, sovereignty, and the future of our region, I refuse to repeat narratives that protect the most dangerous regime in the Middle East while blaming the only democracy in the region for defending itself.

With Energy Stocks At End Of Winter Low And Europe Vulnerable To An Energy Crisis, Putin Says Russia May Pull The Plug On Gas Supplies

 

Russia has threatened to cut off  gas supplies to Europe, just as energy reserves are at an end-of-winter low, and as markets experience a spike ‌in energy prices triggered by the Iran crisis. President Vladimir Putin warned of potential action from Russia on Wednesday, linking the possible decision to the European Union wanting to ban purchases of Russian gas and liquefied natural gas. 

 

Oil and gas prices have soared in global commodity markets following the U.S. and Israeli attack on Iran and Tehran's strikes on Gulf Arab neighbours. The conflict has  almost halted the flow of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz through which about 30% of the world's oil passes, ​and forced the shutdown of Qatar’s LNG production and Saudi Arabia’s largest oil refinery.

 

This threat to Europe's energy security comes as Iran tightens its chokehold on the the marine gateway to the Persian Gulf oil ports through the Strait and Trump's Iran regime change strategy for weakening China by taking out its middle east proxy and main supplier of crude oil and petroleum products seems set to turn into another 'forever war' quagmire.

 

It is also worth  thinking about the effect this Iran skirmish would have on China.  Other commentators also seem to be waking up to the idea  this has been part of Trump’s explicit strategy all along. Iran in the Middle East, China in the East, were always the main villains in American eyes. The tariff gambit weakened China enough for them to realise that their economy relies on trade with the West and back off their tactic of disrupting western consumer markets.

That gave Washington space to turn its attention to Iran.  His brash and bombastic smoke-and-mirror tactics in the arctic, Caribbean and middle east were not just to trigger TDS meltdowns in liberals and lefties for the entertainment of people like me. He had to keep foes and allies alike guessing about what he was really up to. 

Trump is now demanding Iran’s unconditional surrender. At last! The only way to break the appeasement stranglehold of the so-called liberal rules-based world order delusion of the Western elites, is the firm hand.Show the upstar BRICS bloc that despite the pussyfooting of a few decades of weak, virtue sgnalling leaders, the west is not finished.

An appeasement strategy and a virtue signalling philosophy of lets-all-be-one-big-happy-global-nation attracts toadies whose inadequacyis quickly exposed when they have to make tough decisions, and they turn into crybullies, coercing their own people into bowing before the threats of tyrants; but it also attracts the amoral charlatan, and the society becomes riddled with bribery and extortion. As we have observed in Europe and the USA

In addition to potential Iranian control of the Gulf, Russia is already a no-go area for western land and air traffic and Iranian-sponsored Houthis have the potential to control shipping transiting the Red Sea. On top of this, China now poses a threat as it has a naval base at the mouth of the Red Sea at Djibouti and is building a string of dual-purpose ports along the East coast of Africa. Collectively, this choke point and who controls it is known as the 52nd Meridian East Challenge.

Given this context, it's hardly surprising that the US wants to neutralise the threat from China's middle east proxy Iran. It's vital to ensure western Europe-Asia trade, supply chains, and military movement.Somebody, and due to European pussification it could only have veen the USA, had to move to stop the advance of China, which in addition to having become, with the aid and complicity of European and previous US Presidents, the world's leading industrial nation, has also been planning to replace the $US with its own reserve currency and has ben infiltrating and undermining wetern political systems, particularly that of the UK, without opposition for far too long.

Having Earned The Contempt Of Trump, Starmer Offends Brits As He Praises Muslims And Defends Iran At Ramadan Event

 

Keir Starmer, a man so out of touch with reality it seems, that he is incapable of learning from his mistakes, has sparked another outrage by hosting a Ramadan event at Westminster Hall, where he hailed the UK’s 4 million Muslims as the "face of modern Britain" and empathized with their "pain" over Gaza to an applauding crowd.

The Prime Minister addressed Muslim MPs and community figures at an Iftar" event in Westminster Hall, organised by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims, on Tuesday night. The fast-breaking evening meal of Muslims in Ramadan is the second meal of the day; during Ramadan, the daily fast begins immediately after the pre-dawn meal of suhur, ending at sunset.

Starmer spoke about Gaza, the US-Israeli attack on Iran and rising anti-Muslim hostility. He told the crowd that Ramadan strengthens "the bonds of community and decency that unite us all", describing it as a time "of great generosity, of service and of celebration too". 

He also characterised the UK as "a community of communities where Muslims are at the forefront of Britain's story".

People from traditionally British backgrounds will understabdably be disturbed by his language which sounds as if this treasonous leader is trying to promote Islam as the UK's main religion while marginalising the Christian - humanist majority 

Starmer, who this week single - handedly wrecked the UK/US 'special relationship and earned the contempt of President Trump by refusing to support the US attack on Iran's barbaric Islamist regime or allow American planes to use the Chagos Islands air base, also addressed the plight of Gaza's Palestinians, saying: "We must not lose sight of them and the need for peace, justice and security in Palestine and Israel."

He completely failed to acknowledge the suffering of Israeli citizens affected by the October 7 atrocities committed by members of the fanatical Islamic terrorist movement Hamas, which for many years has in effect been the governing power in Gaza. 

This alignment is deeply concerning to many, given that a majority of British Muslims support the Gazan dictatorship despite its recent atrocities, and Starmer himself has a record of defending Islamic interests in Iran and Qatar and in his role as a 'human rights' lawyer was instrumental in winning the right to remain in Britain for many known terrorists posing as asylum seekers, while demonstrably failing in the past few days to protect British territory or support US military cooperation.

With Pew Research highlighting a rapidly growing Muslim population in the UK that has already achieved near-total domination in specific regions, Starmer’s decision to court this demographic - while overlooking their support for theocratic, Muslim extremist regimes - raises even more questions about the future of British sovereignty and security as long as Labour, the party of treason and traitors, remain in power.

Military Analysis Say Prepare For Long War As Iran Proves To Be No Pushover

 

On Day 5 of the Trump's ridiculously named Operation Epic Furry which was conceived to prepare Iran for regime change, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared the US is "winning,"  signalling that additional American forces are ready to be deployed to Iran and vowing Washington will take "all the time it needs" to secure 'victory'. But but a major public backlash against the campaign is gathering momentum rapidly as the reality that Iran is proving no pushover (as this blog warned last year) is beginning to dawn on the American population.

President Trump himself suggested an open-ended timeline, but expressed that four or five weeks should do the job. Americans, however, might recall similar pledges were made at the start of the Iraq war, which ended up being a 20 year occupation and bloody quagmire. Recall that in 2002, Bush's then Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld declared of impending Iraq operations: "Five days or five weeks or five months, but it certainly isn't going to last any longer than that...It won't be a World War III." With that in mind, Hegseth for the first time Wednesday suggested up to eight weeks.

Iranian state media is reporting that the death toll from U.S.-Israeli strikes has climbed to at least 1,045. US losses stand at (at least) six service members killed, with several critically wounded, but CENTCOM has yet to issue a new Wednesday casualty update. It also announced that a planned late-night ceremony in Tehran honoring Iran’s slain supreme leader was abruptly postponed, officially due to "logistical issues".

The problem is US government and military leadrs in The Pentagon did not think though the attack properly. They assumed a quick campaign of air strikes to soften up the Iranians, then the ever aggressive Kurds in northern Iran being activated to commit suicide against the Iran's Republican guard, and with the theocratic regimes best troops otherwise occupied a surprise incursion by Israel's IDF to take Tehran and game over. 

Well that's my guess, but if it's anywhere near right the Americans did not factor into their plan the Strait of Hormuz. 

Some 20% of the global supplies of oil, LPG and fertilizers have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran had long announced that the Strait would be closed if the country would come under attack. It has held to its promise. A few small ships have since tried to pass through the Strait but were stopped by Iranian strike impacts. Ship insurance companies have stopped to provide cover for any passage of the Strait.

After occupying Iraq for 20 years in this century Washington appartently still does not understand the geographic facts of the Hormuz. Here it is in picture form:

 

Given the geography of the area it is easy to see why even with more that half its navy subk or disabled Iran can effectively close the strait to large ship and keep it closed. The terriain on either side of the waterway is mountainous and barren, idea for mounting a stealth campaign using mobile artillery and drones to attack shipping, do the damage and then move quickly leaving western aircraft to bomb rocks and hills.

Trump is talking crazy nonsense when he floats ideas like providing US and NATO warships to escort commercial vessels through the strait? Even crazier stuff like US boots on the ground when anyone with the slightest understanding of US force levels in the region know it would take half a year of build-up to make that even a remote possibility?  

Well, we can assume everyone in the Administration and the Pentagon are a bunch of idiots who leap before looking. This view is compatible with the delusions of a certain population that is victim to a particular mass psychogenic illness. They find this view comforting since it means that simply changing which team has the ball in the US political show will fix everything.
 
Or we could assume that the Administration never really intended things to turn into a shooting war and the whole naval and air power buildup was just a bluff to add leverage to imperial bluster. But then something happened and the bluff was called. But who called it? Not the Iranians, of course. I think it is fairly obvious who forced the Empire’s hand, but I will leave that as a question for discussion. I’ll just say that it is a really bad idea to bluff like that when you are partnered with the very most psychotic of psychopaths. 

We Boggart Bloggers are not seeing any viable way for the West to engage in a land war against Iran. Based on the adage that a ship cannot beat a fort and that air-only campaigns don’t win wars it then the decisive means comes down to economics and by close association logistics. The West was convinced that economic means we’re going to crush Russia, it has proven to be a failure. Unless someone can show how Iran can be defeated via economic means, when Iran's biggest customer for its oil and produce is China there is no way for Iraq to be defeated quickly.That said, Iran cannot defeat the West.

 Israel could be the key, via air strikes. However air strikes can have a significantly greater affect on Israel’s (and the West’s) ability to wage war on Iran.

Individual battles are great for conversation pieces but the true objective is the war. Russia has shown that the West is incapable of militarily defeating a true opponent; and for the economic angle it is the same (Iran has weathered and adjusted to economic forces against it). Strategy matters. 

Support from Russia and China is there as needed to win the war , logistics, strategy and intelligence. Unlike with Syria, Iran WILL accept support.  Assad’s mistake was that he thought he could get back into good graces of the West and feared that having any significant support from Russia would negatively affect that pursuit- Assad, educated in an elite English school had too much of a Western brain, a problem he shares with US and European leaders who simply do not understand the fanatical mindset of Islamists.

Trump's Four Week Timeframe For The US Proxy War With China Is Not Looking Good

 

The war on Iran is spreading out of the Gulf region and escalating – and will continue do to so for a while. Tehran is being bombed to smithereens, and the Iranian navy is (soggy) toast, but the Strait of Hormuz, the key sea route though which 30% of the world's oil flows is closed the hydrocarbon infrastructure in the Gulf is shutting down or gets damaged, the economic pressure on the global economy is starting to show. Iran does not need warships to keep the Strait closed, just some mobile missile launching rigs and a load of cheap but highly effective drones.

Speculatig about the likely length of the war does not answer the question of why the U.S. decide to attack Iran now. U.S. President Trump has give about a dozen different reasons none of which holds up to scrutiny. Iran wasn’t making nukes, didn’t build intercontinental missiles and had no intend to attack anyone. Its internal situation was and is stable.

The reason that makes most sense, although it has not been given by Trump himself so far, is that the US campaign against Iran is a proxy war with China, part of Trump's Grand Strategy to halt the rise of the communist state to true superpower status. 

The goal is to obtain control via a puppet government in Tehran over Iran’s enormous oil and gas reserves so that they can be used as leverage against China for coercing it into a lopsided trade deal that would derail its economic expansion and thus restore US-led unipolarity.

Trump claimed that the US’ military campaign against Iran is to “defend the American people”, while many critics have alleged (whether in jest or not) that it’s to distract from the Epstein Files, but a few astute observers have realised that it’s actually about China. It was explained here that Trump 2.0 “decided to gradually deprive China of access to markets and resources, ideally through a series of trade deals, in order to imbue the US with the indirect leverage required to peacefully derail China’s superpower rise.”

To elaborate, “The US’ trade deals with the EU and India could ultimately result in them curtailing China’s access to their markets under pain of punitive tariffs if they refuse. In parallel, the US’ special operation in Venezuela, pressure on Iran, and simultaneous attempts to subordinate Nigeria and other leading energy producers could curtail China’s access to the resources required for fueling its superpower rise.” The resource dimension that’s relevant to Iran is a major part of the US’ “Strategy of Denial”. 

The decision by USA and Israel to go to war against Iran was, according to Alistair Crooke speanking on  Andrew Napolitano's YouTube show today, confirmed at the end of December, coinciding with Treasury’s attack on Iran’s currency/economy. The economic attack was followed by the orchestrated protests within Iran, which was accelerated by violent elements seeking to escalate violence on all sides, coordinated with external propaganda networks. 

  Current indications are that the Americans are trying to get some kind of ceasefire put in place, but their track record of negotiating in bad faith is severely limiting any progress there. Israeli hubris appears to have gone mute – three days ago they were joking about bomb shelter “pajama parties”, and now the joke is on them and they have yet to be seriously targeted. There is a very high chance should matters proceed as currently, that some sort of “doomsday” weapon will be employed by US and/or Israel (nuclear bomb, neutron bomb, etc)

There are also rumours that China is supplying Iran with weapons and technical support. What The Pentagon appears to have overlooked in their plan of campaign is that they are not fighting an ordinary enemy in Iran, they are fighting an ideology.  

Meanwhile after an incursion by Israeli forces in Lebanon, an announcement was made that the Tehran - funded terror group Hezbollah had been “disarmed” in the south. As for Gaza, the Board of Peace looks sure to be dead after a single meeting.

Iran Carries Out Threat To Close Strait Of Hormuz And Disrupt Global Oil Traffic.

 

 

A European Union communique said on Sunday that vessels have been receiving VHF transmission from Iran's Revolutionary Guards saying "no ship is allowed to pass the Strait of Hormuz".

The strait is the world's most vital oil export route, which connects the biggest Gulf oil producers, such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates, with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.

The official, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said Iran had not formally confirmed any such order. Tehran has for years threatened to block the narrow waterway in retaliation for any attack on the Islamic Republic. 

The latest Automatic Identification System (AIS) vessel-tracking data, via Bloomberg, shows that tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has been paralyzed, with only a few tankers still transiting the critical maritime energy chokepoint.

Though the USA claims to have disabled more than half the Iranian Navy The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) threatened today to set fire to any ships trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, according to state media.

Around 30 per cent of the world’s oil travels through the narrow shipping lane, bordered by Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Oman, each day and around 30,000 boats pass through it each year.

Prior to the IRGC’s announcement, tankers were still moving through the Strait but in much smaller numbers, with 150 vessels anchored just outside its mouth.

Three vessels were hit off the coast of Oman, although the circumstances remained unclear. However  maritime sources confirm the oil tanker Athen Nova stopped in the Strait of Hormuz after being reportedly struck by two drones launched by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.

Swiss bank UBS advised clients that "Iran's Revolutionary Guards commander said the Strait of Hormuz is closed and they will set any ship on fire that tries to pass through, Reuters reports, citing Iranian media. WTI crude oil is now up more than 7% following the headlines."

Bloomberg Headlined:

• IRGC ADVISER SAYS WON'T LET OIL LEAVE REGION: IRAN STATE TV

However, the loss of IRGC naval power should not lead investors to discount the regime's asymmetric capabilities, such as using missiles and drones to target tankers in the narrow waterway. 

Oil prices had already surged before the closure of the Strait, with Brent crude oil jumping 13 per cent to around $82 (£61) a barrel when markets opened on Sunday night. The increase took prices to a seven-month high. Coming so soon after Trump's 'regime alteration act in Venezuela disrupted tanker traffic from that oil exporting nation, this latest development is likely to cause a global crisis.

Iran has continued striking targets across the Gulf in response to a military campaign by the US and Israel, which killed Ali Khamenei, the Iranian supreme leader, on Saturday. Having already struck well defended US Naval and air bases in the gulf region, the Iranians have shown through the effectiveness of their lo tech drones that loss of marine power will not prevent them closing the strait.

After Hitting US Navy Bases, Next Logical Targets For Iran Are Target US Warships: Retired Russian Navy Captain

 

 
USS Abraham Lincoln in the Straits of Hormuz (Picture: US Navy)

 Russian military expert and retired Captain First Rank Vasily Dandykin, commenting on Iran’s retaliation to the US and Israel’s  strikes on Iran's capital Tehran and other cities and industrial hubs around the country said, “Judging by satellite pictures, one thing is certain: some of [Iran’s] missile strikes hit their targets, including the base of the US 5th Fleet,

“While there were no ships there, it’s clear that the strike itself was significant. It’s clear the base’s famous radar dome – one of the most important and expensive elements of the US missile defense system, was damaged. Some estimates suggest it cost over $1B, and detects missile launches at long ranges. This is a major loss for the US, and because it probably works in Israel’s interest, theirs as well.”

 

Iran’s targeting of US bases also included “real losses” of personnel, something the administration may try to minimize, Dandykin believes.

 

Going forward, Iran could launch additional strikes on the bases it already hit, find new targets, and, “most likely,” target “American naval forces,” according to the observer. It seems the retired officer knows a thing or two because almost as soon as his comment had hit the online news sites we were hearing that Iran's Revolutionary Guard says it has targeted the massive US aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln which was sent to Middle Eastern waters by President Donald Trump as part of its pressure campaign aimed at bringing down the Islamic theocracy that has ruled Iran for almost 50 years.

 

But it has often been said that a ship cannot defeat a for and air raids alone do not win a war. Iran is on a position to block the Strait of Hormuz and cause economic chaos.

 

 Iran's  forces launched four ballistic missiles toward USS Abraham Lincoln today (Sunday 1 March),  the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp said in a statement reported by state media. It seems likelt the carrier was heading to the Gulf to prevent Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, through which 30% of the world's oil moves in huge, vulnerable tankers.

The giant warship is one of two aircraft carriers deployed to the region in recent weeks, and the only one relatively close to Iranian shores.The attempted strike is part of Iran’s revenge attacks after the US and Israel killed  supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei. 

The US military said it hit an Iranian ship as part of its ongoing operation.

"The ship is currently sinking to the bottom of the Gulf of Oman at a Chah Bahar pier," the US military wrote. "As the president said, members of Iran's armed forces, IRGC and police 'must lay down your weapons'. Abandon ship."

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer who spent the past week trying to appease President Trump and save his disatrous Chagos deal while simultaneously sucking up to the Iranian regime,  today abandoned this futile attempt to ride two horses with one arse, especially as he's better known as a sausage jockey than an equestrian stunt man, and declared UK support for the US / Israeli campaign.

It has often been said common sense is an uncommon quality. You can already see how the US and Israel are losing the plot in a conflict many fear could escalate into nulear war. Trump talks about four weeks, while Iran is ready to fight US and Israel for months, maybe years, and even US lawmakers can feel their president is in deep trouble, with no real plan after the first strikes. Needless to say, a prolonged war with Iran around the Gulf will lead to an energy crisis in the developed nations

It is the same show as last year when the US and Israel bombed Iran's nuclear plants, but decalred victory too soon: chest beating, “shock and awe,” TV bragging, bombs, planes, fireworks in the sky, but no real strategy and no way out. We saw this in Iraq, we saw it in Afghanistan. That is why I am sure US and Israel will end up stuck and bleeding.

And somewhere, Putin is watching all this, smiling, counting every mistake, knowing Washington is burning energy, money, and power in another endless war it cannot win.
