Iran War Reveals Limitations of US Military Capabilities
(Translated)

News:

The Wall Street Journal reported that the war in Iran provided China, Russia, and North Korea with a rare opportunity to witness the capabilities and limitations of the US military. (Al Jazeera Net, May 2, 2026)

Comment:

The US president and other officials frequently use the term “paper tiger” to describe Europe and NATO, but these countries don’t dare use the same term to describe the US military. Every time this military enters a war, its limitations and weaknesses are exposed. It’s like the Jewish army, hiding behind a shield, rarely engaging in ground combat, relying instead primarily on airstrikes because American technology is superior, thus concealing the army’s weaknesses, as long as it fights from the air.

However, when it fought in Iraq, it was defeated on the ground and was only saved by Iran and its allied groups in Iraq, and later by the tribal fighters known as the Sons of Iraq, or Al-Sahwah (Awakening). In Afghanistan, America and its allies fought for twenty years without achieving victory, ultimately withdrawing in defeat. In its last war against Iran, the American army did not achieve victory, despite the war lasting forty days.

In every war America wages against Muslims, its weakness and limited power are exposed. Shouldn’t Muslims firm their resolve and establish their state, which will make America forget its arrogance and hubris?
