It is a testimony to Iran, the state, the nation, and the revolution, that it broke through bipolarity and accomplished its Islamic revolution with different goals and under different titles and slogans. It also revived the Islamic awakening and established a true religious reference.
It is a testimony to it that it revived the Palestinian cause, commemorated al-Quds Day, and created a force in its name. It also allocated a portion of the state’s revenues and distributed the Khums funds, zakat, and resources from shrines to the resistance.
It is a testimony to it and not against it that it has aided the resistance factions in and around Palestine. It endured the accusations, aggression, siege, and wars, and fulfilled its obligations towards Gaza and its factions, even though Gaza and its people are not Shiite. Islamic unity is one of Iran’s obligations.
It is a testimony to it that it took advantage of all the opportunities available and played on regional and international contradictions. It gained from America’s invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, supported Syria, fought with it, and did not hold back. Moreover, Yemen was not left to pandemics and tribulations.
A testimony to it that it stood firm, fought, negotiated, and did not compromise. It is a sovereign, independent, regional power that has taken its position as a nuclear and space state and a manufacturer of advanced weapons.
It is a testimony to it and not against it that it did not compromise nor accept temptations and offers to abandon the Palestinian cause and al-Quds. After the Al-Aqsa flood, it decided to be in the second row for support and work as a balanced and influential regional force committed to the victory of Gaza and Hamas and did not advance against them.
With this, the unjust campaigns that used to accuse it of trading in the Palestinian cause and the issues of al-Quds and al-Aqsa were dropped.
As for the issue of liberating Palestine, it is not its responsibility. If Iran does not do it, no one will accuse it or even blame it for that.
Israel, its plan, America, its alliance, and its Anglo-Saxon world targeted and are targeting the Arabs, their countries, entities, systems, wealth, geography, and seas.
What is constant in the Gaza war is that the displacement of Palestinians aims to blow up Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon, but not Iran.
Iran is not and will not be harmed by Zionist Israel, nor by American control over the Arabs, their regime, and their elites. America and Israel are begging Iran for an agreement and share of influence, and it is the one that refuses to abide due to its values, doctrine, and the slogans of its revolution.
Rather, it paid a heavy price because it committed itself to supporting Palestine, raising its flag, and defending its cause. It paid a lot since Arab and Islamic regimes and elites have conspired against it in response to American dictates, and in the service of Israel’s dominance over them and the region. However, it did not give up or compromise.
Given the above, Iran has the right not to rush into a stormy war that might lead to its destruction, even if the price is the liberation of Palestine in a short time.
If delegated, Iran has the full right to decide when, how, and by what means, arenas, and fronts to begin liberation, even if it postpones it until it sees different. No one has the right to impose timing, fronts, or means. It does not work for anyone or under his dictates, plans, interests, or timing.
Don’t Arabs believe that never scratched like your fingernail.
Let those in need attend to their needs and stop wailing, screaming, insults, and waiting for others.
Where are the Arab regimes, peoples, armies, political and armed Islam movements, and the countries and kingdoms targeted by the plan to Zionize Palestine… Where are Egypt and Jordan? Both of them are threatened with their entities if Israel wins, and Gaza is fighting to protect them, empower them, and preserve them.
Is it acceptable to attack Iran because it did not rush to launch a huge war? While the others, the most affected, support Israel, finance its war, and provide it with equipment, ammunition, food, and its requirements, as it slaughters Gaza, destroys it, and annihilates its population.
Palestine is a national and Arab issue first, and supporting its resistance and liberation is in the interest of the Arabs. Second, it is Islamic, and the people of its religion are obliged to liberate and support its people. The majority of Muslims are still watching, if not participating, in its Judaization, slaughtering Gaza, and displacing its people. At the forefront are Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Turkey, Pakistan, Indonesia, and others. Add to them the Sunni political and military Islam movements from ISIS to Al-Nusra, Al-Qaeda, Wahhabism, Salafism, and the Muslim Brotherhood movement…
Iran provided a lot, it paid the price and did not give up. It fights to the extent it deems appropriate to secure Gaza, its victory, and the victory of Hamas.
If Gaza is victorious and seeks to restore the liberation of Palestine through rounds or the armed intifada of the West Bank and 48 Palestine, then Iran is a partner and a winner.
But if Israel wins – and it will not win – then Iran is the least of the losers if it loses!!?
