Today, Muslim countries appear largely unmoved by the US–Israel war imposed on Iran. Now, President Donald Trump has declared that Iran will be taken “back to the Stone Age” if it does not agree to a ceasefire on US terms.
In the past, we have witnessed the devastation of Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Lebanon—largely enabled by the apathy of the Muslim world. With little to no resistance, these nations were left vulnerable to destruction. There seems to persist a misplaced belief that such turmoil will engulf others, but spare one’s own country.
Israel, with the backing of the United States, continues to pursue the idea of a “Greater Israel.” Yet, despite decades of sustained pressure, neither Israel nor the United States has succeeded in bringing Iran to its knees.
It is a stark reality that no Arab monarchy would be able to withstand a combined US–Israel assault even for a few hours.
Let it be said plainly: if Iran is destroyed, the entire Arabian Peninsula could be exposed to occupation, paving the way for the realization of the “Greater Israel” ambition.
