Pentagon says, US doesn’t want to pursue war with Iran after bombing 3 of its nuclear sites. (AP News)

Comment:

“The Pentagon says the U.S. doesn’t want to pursue war with Iran” — this, after dropping fourteen bunker-buster bombs on three nuclear facilities deep inside Iranian territory. Such a statement is not merely hypocritical — it is grotesque. It reflects an arrogant, colonial mindset. How can any sane person believe that war is not the intention when a nation carries out coordinated strikes on another nation?

Yet, what is even more disturbing than this administration’s deceit is the silence and paralysis of the world in the face of such open aggression. The recent U.S. operation, dubbed ‘Operation Midnight Hammer’, is not a testament to American strength — it is a humiliating exposure of the political impotence and disunity that plague the Muslim Ummah. Not because the Ummah lacks the means to stand up for its rights — but because the will is scattered across fractured borders, ruled by regimes more concerned with preserving their own thrones and loyal to Washington’s interests rather than to their own people.

The Pentagon openly boasted that U.S. bombers flew undetected into Iranian airspace. This moment must serve as a time of deep reflection and reckoning. The Muslim Ummah spans continents, commands vast wealth, controls strategic maritime chokepoints, and possesses some of the world’s largest armies. Yet these immense assets are rendered useless — not by the strength of the enemy, but by the absence of political unity and representative leadership.

Allah (swt) has endowed this Ummah with every ingredient necessary for sovereignty, revival, and global leadership. However, our resources remain fragmented, and our armies restrained by artificial borders. The attacks on Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan are not merely tactical — they are symbolic. They send a clear message to every Muslim regime: submit, disarm, negotiate, or face destruction.

Therefore, the call for the Islamic Political System — the Khilafah — to bring justice, balance, and mercy to humanity, as it once did, is not an ideal. It is an obligation. It is a necessity. And it is the only viable path forward. The Khilafah would reshape global dynamics and once again become the best nation to carry the message of Allah to humanity.

[وَأَطِيعُواْ اللّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلاَ تَنَازَعُواْ فَتَفْشَلُواْ وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْ وَاصْبِرُواْ إِنَّ اللّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ]

“And obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not dispute (with one another) lest you lose courage and your strength depart, and be patient. Surely, Allah is with those who are As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.).” [8:46]
