|| Dr.  Firoz Mahboob KamalThe US demand of surrender and the Iranian defiance The joint US and Israeli war is purely a war of war crimes.  Committing all catastrophic forms of war crimes is the declared war policy of the US and Israel.  The desperate war criminals like Donald Trump and Netanyahu know that no one on the earth can prevent them from committing such horrendous atrocities.The whole world looks hostage and helpless to these worst evil monsters on the earth.  Therefore, more war crimes, more genocide and more destruction in Iran continue. Israel has opened another war front to commit further genocide and destruction in Lebanon. The Israeli Army is now on a mission of making Lebanon another Gaza.President Donald Trump repeatedly declared the US victory in the war and has asked Iran to surrender and accept 15 points demands. Otherwise, Iran is threatened with unleashed hells.  The arrogant evil powers always speak with such a hawkish tone against the weak. But Iran shows its defiance and continues to keep its existential fight.In a recent meeting, the UN Security Council condemned only the Iranian missile attacks on neighbouring countries but didn`t utter a single sentence against the unprovoked Israeli and US attack on Iran. This is the most ugly biased posture of the UN body. Recently, the Foreign Ministers of Muslim countries like Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt and Gulf States met in Riyadh to condemn only Iran for its missile attacks but failed to condemn the US and Israeli attack on Iran. This exposed the moral bankruptcy of these Muslims countries.The Gulf States claim that they are not a party in the current war. But the truth tells otherwise. The Washington Post reported that Netanyahu and the Saudi Crown Prince persuaded President Trump for the war against Iran. Today on 25.03.2026, Trump himself said that Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain are helping the US in the war. Why is Iran attacked?In the last hundreds of years, Iran didn`t invade any other country. But the US and its allies don’t like Iran because the Islamic rulers of Iran  want to stay independent and keep dignity. Iran is the only country that stood in support of the Palestinians against the Israeli occupation and gave assistance to Hamas and Jihad  in Gaza. Such support and assistance for the Palestinians are enough to become the target of the US and Israeli attack. The US and its allies want that no country on the earth should support the Palestinian resistance struggle. The Iranian nuclear bomb issue is used as a pretext to justify the planned attack.The prime agenda of the warThe prime agenda of the war is to destroy and decimate the economic, military and infrastructural backbone of Iran.  Therefore, both the US and Israel are bombing the power stations, oil and gas refineries, water plants, Army cantonments, military academies, schools, even residential apartments all over Iran. Both the US and Israel are bent on only to inflict more pains, genocide and destructions.The Islamophobes like President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu are full of hatred against Islam and Muslims. This war gives them enormous opportunities to execute their venomous vengeance against the Islamic Iranians who call the US a great Satan and chant “Down with US” in their daily prayers.  So, these warmongers have no slightest mercy for the people of Iran. Therefore, they could kill 68 children in an elementary school without slightest remorse.   Iran`s strength and option Surrender is not an option. And slavery doesn`t cost anything. Ceasefire is not an option either. Ceasefire will give some time to refuel its war machines. Iran wants an end to all wars against it. But standing with a high head and dignity has a price to pay. Now the question arises how much the Iranians will pay to preserve their dignity and liberty.Iran has a huge strength. It is a geographically fortified country with huge high rocky mountains. Iran has a population of 90 million people. The US couldn’t subdue the 30 million Afghans, how can they wish to subdue 90 million Iranian. Moreover, Afghans didn’t have Hormuz Strait, nor had supersonic missiles.  Iran has a glorious history of wars of resistance against foreign invasion. The Islamic people in Iran welcome martyrdom instead of surrendering to the enemies.  So, one can easily understand that the brave people of Iran will take the path of their existential war -which is imposed on them.  Trump’s frustration and empty cryPresident Donal Trump shows his extreme frustration with the outcome of the war. He shows a huge underestimation of the Iranian psyche of resistance. He thought, with the decapitation of the supreme leader and the senior commanders, Iran would quickly surrender to the US and the people would take over. But that didn’t happen.  The war is now in its fourth week. The US navy stands 5 thousand miles away from the Iranian shore. The US Army can’t dare to put their feet on Iranian soil. The US Air Force can drop bombs only from a high altitude. Iranian defence already gunned down a few of the US fighter jets.Trump repeatedly declares victory but begs other countries to help open the Hormuz Strait. If any effort is made to take over the Kharg Island and Hormuz Strait, it will be another Gallipoli for the US -where the Turkish Army killed more than 150 thousand enemy soldiers in a single ambush in World War I.  Probably Doanld Trump and his generals are fearful of that. Hence, he preferred staying far away from the shore of Iran and making an empty cry for the US victory and Iran’s surrender. 25/03/2026.
