News:
The comprehensive US sanctions campaign recently imposed on Iran and its economic partners has provoked a challenge from Tehran. High-ranking Iranian officials have vowed that the US economic pressure will ultimately fail. The semi-official Iranian news agency Tasnim quoted Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf on Tuesday, 25 August, as saying that after the US's defeat “in the military and political war,” it will also be “defeated in its economic measures.”
Comment:
It is true that America alone cannot subdue Iran, but, as is its desire, it is not waging this dirty war alone. The largest and most vital role in this war is played by the oppressive rulers of the Muslim World, especially those countries bordering Iran. The alliance of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey is but one of these dirty tools that America uses against Iran, in addition to using it to impose economic sanctions on Iran. The situation will worsen with the joining of other countries loyal to America, such as Egypt, Jordan, Bangladesh, and others. Therefore, anyone who thinks that America can subdue Iran without these Ruwaibidhat (lowly incompetent rulers) and these alliances, which were formed only to carry out America's dirty work against Iran, is deluded. Such alliances are absent when confronting the Zionist entity, which continues to crush the people of the blessed land of Palestine, in Gaza and the West Bank.
Conversely, what options does Iran have to confront America and its allies? The truth is that the Iranian leadership possesses no tools or leverage other than to endure and absorb the blows. Closing the Strait of Hormuz harms Iran as much as it harms others, with the exception of America, since America does not import oil from that region. Therefore, this is not a means of exerting pressure on America, but rather a slow death for Iran, just as happened with Gaza and its people. They endured the brutality of the Zionist entity while their neighbors and surrounding countries watched, leading them to their current predicament: accepting all the dictates of America and the Jewish entity regarding them and their resistance in the ongoing negotiations in Cairo.
Similarly, for Iran, a look at the new measures within the framework of an “economic onslaught” campaign launched by the Trump administration—a campaign described by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as an attempt “to sever every economic lifeline” supporting the Iranian government—reveals that this campaign, along with the military option, will prove extremely difficult for Iran. Whilst announcing Operation Economic Outcast on 24 August, Bessent stated that “The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned nearly 60 entities, individuals, and vessels in multiple jurisdictions that enable the Iranian regime’s recklessness, including illicit nuclear and missile technology procurement, cyber operations, and oil‑revenue generation networks.”
He also mentioned, “Treasury is expanding the categories of Iran-related conduct that may be subject to secondary sanctions in the future, making it easier to take action against those facilitating the regime. Treasury has issued determinations against five critical sectors––digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping––that the Iranian regime uses to try to prop up its failing economy.” Bessent also clarified, “Every country will be given a defined timeline to shut down the Iran-related activity we have identified. If they fail to act, Treasury will act.” He claimed that, “Treasury has mapped the networks, facilitators, and financial channels that Iran uses to smuggle oil, evade sanctions, and fund terror,” and pledged to pursue a “economic onslaught” to cut off funding sources for the Iranian government and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The worst is yet to come. It will happen if America subdues Iran, allowing it to consolidate its power and establish itself in the region, supported by these alliances. America, which seeks to create a new Middle East tailored to its own interests and those of the Zionist entity, will, if it subdues Iran, be in a position to make any geopolitical changes in the region that serve its interests. More importantly, it will be able to plunder the wealth of Muslim countries, weaken and dismantle them, and prevent their unification under a Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided Caliphate). Furthermore, it will use this region to subdue China, contain Russia, and weaken and marginalize Europe. This is America's plan: to create a new unipolar world order and achieve complete global dominance.
Therefore, unless the sincere people in these countries allied with America rise up, overthrow these corrupt rulers, and give their military support (nussrah) to Hizb ut-Tahrir to establish the Khilafah, something worse is coming—worse than the old British invasion of this region. Britain, which occupied the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent, plundered its wealth, and made this region one of the poorest in the world while becoming the richest state itself for a while, enjoying the riches of these colonies until now. America will do something even worse, or at least something similar.
