I'm not repeating what the Zionists say, but I have a realistic perspective on regional events. Nothing is stopping me from saying whatever I want, so if I hated your country or Sunni Muslims, I would say it directly. FYI, to be clear, when I talk about Sunni Muslims, I mean specifically and strictly their leaders and those referred to as Wahhabis or Salafis (as I hold a different religious perspective regarding non-Shia Muslims). Therefore, concluding that this is hatred is simply false. I indeed have differences with your leaders on several points—and, with all due respect, that seems to be what you cannot accept. I know, but we must stay vigilant. Last time, after the US withdrawal from Iraq, it was a problem for them because they wanted to stay near the Iranian border, so they created ISIS—and that was when there was no war between them. Now, I am not optimistic, and I am concerned about their withdrawal; they are definitely plotting something evil right now. That is very clear, and I saw it, but they never stop trying to polish their public image—though it doesn't seem to be working very well.

Repeated accusations without evidence and meaningless personal attacks. You consistently evade objective discussion and instead resort to tactics like trying to intimidate or label the other person as cowardly. With all due respect, this is who you are.

This and other indicators show that the new Syria has become a real problem for the Axis of Resistance. What is the solution?

After a failed attempt to direct the new Syrian administration toward Lebanon to counter Hezbollah—which was thwarted by Iranian threats—the new Syrian authority asked Iraq to release nearly 4,000 prisoners following the Syrian president’s visit to Saudi Arabia. However, Iraq refused. Nevertheless, Ahmed al-Sharaa may send foreign fighters to Yemen, allowing him to get rid of them. It has now become evident that the new Syria was established to confront the Axis of Resistance.

I know, but do not forget that Ansar Allah's power rests on three pillars: human crowds, military hardware, and media influence. The crowds and media are ineffective if Saudi Arabia and its allies can gain full control over the military hardware. Also, do not forget that Yemen has two governments: Ansar Allah and the so-called "legitimate government." Since the international community supports the latter, it makes neutralizing Ansar Allah much easier. Unfortunately, this will not happen either. The Iraqi Kurdish forces are legal and recognized under the Iraqi Constitution. Therefore, eliminating these forces would require a constitutional amendment. It is unlikely, but if it happens, Iraq would have no choice. The entire Iraqi Air Force is US-made, and conducting air raids against Israel would require green lights or operational clearances from the US for every single mission. The remaining options would be either requesting Iran to defend us—which is the most likely scenario—or having Iraqi faction leaders launch drones or missiles, provided Israel does not target them first.

1. This has been very clear from the very beginning of events. All Arab and Muslim leaders are seeking to appease the United States and Israel, while keeping their own people under the influence of religious scholars to guarantee continuity within their borders. Since October 7th, they have tried to prevent the conflict between Hamas and Israel from expanding. However, in the end, Israel attacked Qatar, which resulted in a Qatari casualty. These leaders view Israel and the entire US agenda as an unchangeable reality, believing that engaging in war against them would be nothing short of mass suicide. Nonetheless, they still try to improve Palestinian lives by encouraging the world to recognize Palestine. 2. These leaders cannot be strictly considered hypocrites, because they simply do not offer or support any real resistance. What they do is nothing more than an attempt to contain the Arab public or appeal to Muslim voters and populations abroad who genuinely support the Palestinian cause. For example: A. Turkey: In fact, they do not have a real issue with Israel or Netanyahu himself; everything they do is merely to compete with Iran and what they perceive as the Iranian axis, while appealing to Muslim sentiment. B. Pakistan and other nations: It is foolish to think that a government possessing atomic bombs—which has done nothing for the Palestinians or the Palestinian cause over the past 78 years—actually cares about them, despite the strong support for Palestine among its Muslim population. 3. These nations that accept Israel do not treat Iran and its axis the same way. They view Iran as similar to Israel, or perhaps even worse. They question themselves—and are questioned by America—about Iranian attacks on US bases, their failure to protect those bases, and the bases' failure to protect them. This pushes them to confront the axis, as they cannot attack Iran directly. As is widely known, Hamas agreed to disarm, and there are reports indicating that Hezbollah also agreed to disarm. We lost Syria, they are now attacking Yemen to crush the Houthis, and Iraq has been forced to disarm its armed factions. So, who is left at this moment? Naturally, only Iran. The conclusion is that they are not fighting Iran directly, but rather cutting off its hands.

Bad news. Reportedly, the so-called Mecca pact has recently been activated to face Ansar Allah in Yemen.

During World War II, the Soviet Union (an officially atheist state) and China united with the Western Christian nations to fight Nazi Germany and its allies, putting aside profound religious and ideological differences to face a common threat. Meanwhile, we fail to unite even in the face of a common enemy. Maybe we should have allied with them based on the fact that we share the same enemy, instead of doing what we did. This and a lot of horrible things have been happening to the Shia for a long time, and none of them empathized with us. The issue isn't just limited to Palestinians, but most Sunnis. Before I begin, what is happening in Gaza is a genocide that is breaking the world's heart. But if their brothers in faith—across 53 countries—haven't done anything for them and have abandoned them, how irrational it is for a single state and a few groups to put their own interests at risk! Respectfully, you talk about 'on their free will'—excuse me, when was the last time Hezbollah leaders held a referendum to find out whether the residents of the South wanted that or not? Do you know what has been happening up to this moment? 1. 'On their free will', and after engaging in war, Israel bombed South Lebanon, and as a result, Sayyid Hassan and many of their leaders were killed. 2. Shia villages are being destroyed, and people have been forced into displacement. To make matters worse, no one in Lebanon from other sects is ready to host them, out of fear that a Hezbollah member might be among them and Israel will bomb the area.

The issue is not whether the Sunni population cares or not—no one asks for their opinion anyway, and they are easily manipulated on social media through all their US-puppet governments. What makes this even easier, especially right now, is that countries like Saudi Arabia and Türkiye are presenting themselves as key players, promoting the idea that they are leading the global campaign for the recognition of Palestine.

1. Direct Iranian intervention is not expected. If it happens, most people will side with Saudi Arabia because it will leverage Mecca and other holy sites, framing the conflict as a sectarian one. In the end, no one benefits from this except anti-Islamic groups. @Abu Nur, unfortunately, none of them will collapse. They are playing multiple options: first, what I mentioned above; second, international law and freedom of navigation. 2. I think it is now very clear that this pact was formed solely to target the Axis of Resistance, under US-Israeli orders.

A second forced landing involving a plane with Israeli passengers occurred in Saudi Arabia following a dispute between the pilot and co-pilot. The first incident happened due to a medical emergency involving a passenger. My opinion: Before I begin, I have no issue with helping anyone facing a difficult situation, as taught by my religion. However, given the current events in the region, I see these incidents as nothing more than signs of normalization.

Flights between Najaf and Iranian airports have officially resumed following popular public demand and protests in Iraq. As the popular Iraqi saying goes: "إيران والعراق لا يمكن الفراق" (Iran and Iraq are inseparable).

Their level of subservience has reached an all-time high. I heard they complied with the US decision regarding the Iranian flight ban. This cannot continue!

Unfortunately, some thoughts here bring to mind the Arabic saying, "The worst calamity is the one that makes you laugh"—meaning, it’s so bad, it’s funny. From a biological standpoint, humans are the most complex of all animal species. Yet, we live as if in our own jungle. Therefore, any charters, laws, agreements, or even religious teachings regarding human rights become practically powerless during wartime, where the primary objective of any party becomes pure SURVIVAL. Let me review why I say this: Over the past period following Hamas's attack against Israel on October 7, 2023, military escalations and strikes have impacted multiple countries across the region: A. Gaza and the West Bank: Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed—with official estimates exceeding 40,000 to 70,000 depending on reporting frameworks—and thousands more remain missing, presumed dead under the rubble. Around 10,000 to 20,000 Palestinians have been detained from Gaza and across the occupied territories within the 1967 borders. Human rights organizations have documented severe torture, abuse, and systemic mistreatment against male detainees. Meanwhile, infrastructure across Gaza and parts of the West Bank is being systematically destroyed, effectively undermining the establishment of an independent Palestinian state and denying their fundamental right to existence. B. Lebanon: Thousands of Lebanese civilians and fighters have lost their lives, and roughly 1.2 million people have been forcibly displaced due to heavy bombardment and ground incursions that destroyed entire border villages. Israeli strikes continuously target the South and other regions using heavy modern munitions—a scale and density of bombardment that, according to analytical reports, has in specific operational phases exceeded the daily strike density seen in the Russia-Ukraine war. C. Syria: Following political shifts and the fall of the Assad regime, Israel launched hundreds of air strikes—with reports counting hundreds of sorties—targeting military assets and strategic locations across Syria. Ground incursions escalated with Israeli armored forces advancing deep into Syrian territory, establishing military positions within driving distance of Damascus. Security checkpoints were set up to inspect residents, alongside military operations in provinces such as Daraa, Quneitra, and Rural Damascus, while strategic high ground on Mount Hermon (Jabal al-Sheikh) remains under Israeli military control. D. Regional Escalation (Qatar & Egypt): Strikes and targeted assassinations have reached host nations like Qatar during diplomatic negotiations involving Hamas leadership, resulting in casualties. Furthermore, intelligence operations and surveillance activity continue to target neighboring regional states, including Egypt. E. Iran: Major escalations occurred targeting Iran as a primary axis of regional resistance, leading to the targeted assassinations of senior political and military figures, including high-ranking leadership. Joint US-Israeli military signaling and strategic strikes included heavy civilian casualties in regional air raids, accompanied by explicit threats from Washington targeting Iranian critical power infrastructure, oil facilities, and nuclear sites to force political concessions. They have engaged, are engaging, and will continue to engage in these actions without facing enforcement from international law or human rights bodies. Why? Because nuclear deterrence and unconditional geopolitical alignment allow strategic survival motives to override international treaties. In response to these strikes, retaliatory missile and drone attacks were launched from Iran and regional allies, resulting in thousands of casualties and injuries inside Israel, following the initial casualties from the October 7 attack. So where do international law and human rights stand when these events occur? Do global powers condemn these breaches with the same urgency as they would a block on key maritime routes like the Strait of Hormuz without international legal authorization? I can anticipate the answer: usually, they do not. This clearly demonstrates that in modern global politics, power and strategic deterrence outweigh legal agreements.
