The unprovoked war of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran may have set in motion a series of events that will lead to what has long been referred to as the “final war of liberation”. Although this may seem hyperbolic, if the war does not end soon, the only end is regime change in Iran or regime change in occupied Palestine.
The Zionist Entity appears to have fallen to its own propaganda and went too far with its attack on Iran, believing that what it sought to achieve would cripple the Iranian capability to quickly mount a solid response and lead to a somewhat limited exchange. It is clear that this was a catastrophic miscalculation.
Throughout the 20 months of genocide that have been inflicted against the people of Gaza, the Zionist regime has failed to find an image of victory. Despite inflicting occasional tactical defeats against the Palestinian Resistance, Iran’s IRGC and most notably Hezbollah, through assassinations and intelligence operations that use terrorist tactics, the Zionists hadn’t strategically defeated any of its opposition.
Instead, Hamas and all of the other Palestinian armed groups in Gaza are still alive and well. Hezbollah survived. Despite the existential threat posed to the Lebanese Party, they still managed to defeat the Israeli ground invasion of southern Lebanon under the worst possible circumstances. Yemen, on the other hand, forced the US military to back off and continued firing upon the Zionist regime on a daily basis in support of Gaza.
While failing to win on any front, the despicable slaughter of innocent people, most notably in Gaza, but also in Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, turned most of the global public against the Israeli regime. This, as the Zionist project saw the closure of tens of thousands of businesses, the loss of investments, the escape of around a million citizens, and a steep economic decline.
Combined with all of this, the regime’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, began purging all critical voices of his rule and replacing senior officials with yes men and personal allies. Meanwhile, cracks within Israeli society began growing and periodically causing bursts of unrest.
The Israeli military never actually went after Hamas and the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza on the ground. Until this day, there is virtually no footage showing Israelis carrying out close quarters offensive combat missions and clashing directly with Palestinian fighters. Instead, they hid like cowards in their armored military vehicles, rushed into areas to set up secure positions and used their Air Force as cover, only occasionally launching special forces operations.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian armed groups launched daring ambushes against the invading occupation forces, as the Israelis almost always concluded their “operation” with an invasion of a major hospital that they took over and used as a military base.
Instead of fighting head on like a real army, the Israeli participation trophy force – which grants 19-year-olds the rank of Sergeant – carried out a genocide instead. Their goal? To solve the Gaza question. By expelling and exterminating the civilian population, while making Gaza uninhabitable, they foolishly believed this would eventually lead to the collapse of the Resistance. To their surprise, the Resistance only recruited more into its ranks and, with limited means, continued to resist.
The Zionists briefly paused their genocide, but soon after violated the ceasefire they agreed upon, only to escalate their daily slaughter of civilians. “Operation Gideon’s Chariots” was sold to the Israeli public as “phase 2” of the war on Gaza, yet it quickly became clear that it was simply more of the same. The difference being that the highly degraded Israeli army now sought to use the so-called “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” to aid a new displacement and starvation agenda, while contracting ISIS-linked gangsters to do their dirty work for them.
In Syria, the Zionist Entity continued invading new territory in the south and frequently committed bombing campaigns throughout the country. This is despite the new Syrian leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, working with the Israelis on security coordination and even signaling his intent to normalize ties.
In Lebanon, the Zionist regime refused to leave the south and committed well over 3,000 violations of the ceasefire since November 27, 2024. It continued to kidnap Lebanese civilians, carry out assassinations, bombard the south, Beqaa Valley, and even occasionally strike civilian buildings in Beirut. Israeli drones and fighter jets roamed the skies of Lebanon every day, and the Lebanese Army did not resist them with a single bullet.
The unhinged settler-colonial entity made its expansionist endeavors crystal clear and its leader, Netanyahu, constantly mouthed off about “total victory” in a “seven front war”. Meanwhile, the United States and most Western European leaders stood by and watched it all happen, not even bothering to condemn, let alone halt all trade or apply sanctions.
The Israelis stood plausibly accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and its Prime Minister became a wanted war criminal by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Every major rights group, including B’Tselem, accused the Zionist entity of Genocide in Gaza. Millions around the world took to the streets, week-in week-out, pleading with their governments to take action. The students across North America and in different nations in Europe stood up, many sacrificing their degrees and possible future employment.
In the end, the Zionist Entity faced no real punishment from the so-called “international community”, beyond occasional statements and a few brave leaderships that took limited actions to impose a price.
What happened in the past 20 months is the death of International Law and Human Rights, these concepts now rest under the rubble of Gaza, along with the bodies of thousands of children who are yet to be recovered.
Iran finally took off the gloves
During this period of time, Iran received blow after blow. Its embassy in Damascus was bombed, Hamas leader Ismail Hanniyeh was assassinated in Tehran, and top IRGC officials were assassinated time and time again.
Then came the terrorist pager attacks in Lebanon, which injured thousands, including many civilians, and even killed women and children. The cornerstones of the West’s so-called “liberal free press” who we have been told uphold the gold standard of journalism? They praised the pager attack that even former CIA Director Leon Panetta called terrorism.
Donald Trump took office, his campaign bankrolled by a who’s who of Zionist billionaires like Miriam Adelson, then proceeded to threaten taking over Gaza and turning it into a sleazy ruling class casino. The unserious, mentally incompetent front man for the war machine only encouraged Israeli militaristic-adventurism further.
For some time, it appeared as if Gaza was going to be continuously crushed without anyone stepping in to stop it, beyond Yemen, which proved itself the only nation on earth to be dedicated enough to the cause of justice to wage a military intervention with its limited means from so far away. Fatigue and a sense of hopelessness swept its way across the region, especially after Hezbollah exited the fight.
But when all else seemed lost, one power remained standing in the way of the bloodthirsty Zionist regime’s plot, as its US allies frothed at the mouth, waiting to prey on the remains of the steadfast Palestinian people: that power was Iran.
