News:
Trump stated that the United States might carry out another round of operations against Iran, saying, “We may do another little Epic Fury,” referring to the name of the American military operation against Iran. This statement is a threat of potential escalation, not a declaration of an attack's commencement. In a statement issued by White House Spokeswoman Anna Kelly on Thursday, 22 October, she said, "The United States will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the midterm elections" She added that the blockade would remain in effect.

Comment:
Observers are accustomed to the fact that what Trump says and what is announced does not necessarily correspond to what will be implemented and adhered to on the ground. The US government, headed by the narcissistic Trump, is a pragmatic entity that deals with reality in a manner that serves its interests at any given moment, and it is not necessarily committed to the objectives announced in the media or officially. As for the recent moves America is making and its announcements of readiness to strike Iran, these preparations have consisted of the following:
- Strengthening the American naval force by sending the aircraft carrier “Theodore Roosevelt” to the region, along with Marine reinforcements.
- Preparing ships for combat and rearming them with long-range missiles and bunker-buster bombs.
- Intensifying air drills for America and the Jewish entity, including sorties over Iraq to simulate offensive operations.
- Raising the level of military and intelligence coordination through the visit of the US Secretary of War to the Jewish entity and discussions of strike plans.
- Updating the target bank of the Jewish entity and preparing options for a campaign lasting several days, which may include nuclear facilities, missile capabilities, and petrochemical sites.
- Taking precautionary measures to protect American forces and diplomats, including relocating some forces and reducing the diplomatic presence in countries in the region.
Regarding timing, reports indicate the possibility of execution after the Congressional elections on 3 November, but there is no announcement of a final decision to attack or a specific date for it.
Although America has mobilized what it can to confront Iran and its proxies in the region, enabling it to inflict severe harm on Iran and its proxies in Yemen—including activating the so-called Makkah Alliance consisting of Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Pakistan, in addition to the readiness of the Pharaoh of Egypt to send Egyptian forces to participate in the war on Yemen—despite all these large mobilizations, America has not utilized these forces. Had it wished to, it could have decisively won the battle in Iran and Yemen and become the sole hegemon over the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab al-Mandab Strait. If Trump were truly the master of the White House and a rebel against the deep state represented by the capitalists in the country, his administration would have used these mobilizations and settled the matter, which would easily enable him to succeed in the upcoming midterm elections. However, it appears that Trump, who seems to be a rebel in public, is a tame cat before the deep state in the US.
The sole beneficiary of the continuation of the war and the cutting off of oil supplies to the world, especially to Europe and China, is America and its companies, and no one else. Europe is drowning in darkness and economic depression due to the scarcity of oil supplies, and this situation has affected the general public in Europe, which has exploded from the intense pressure it faces. The ongoing protests these days in European capitals, including the French capital, are an example of this. Europe’s condition has become similar to its state during the Second World War, awaiting a new Marshall Plan to come from the very one who causes its current starvation. As for China, its situation is no less dire than Europe's, except that the only difference is that the Chinese people are accustomed to poverty and hunger and do not take to the streets to protest for a reason they have become used to over decades, or even more than a century, due to the policy of the Chinese government which enslaves the people and suppresses them with the worst suppression if they protest. Therefore, it does not appear to the distant observer that there are major problems in China, while the reality is completely different. The number of Chinese companies and factories that have exited the market and ceased operations is estimated in the thousands across various production sectors, in addition to the layoffs of workers, creating a state of economic and employment depression.
It does not seem that America is intent on decisively ending the war in the Gulf, not because it is incapable of doing so—though it is incapable on its own of achieving any victory for itself over the Ummah—but because it has a sufficient reserve of agents and armies of the Ummah to enable it to do so if it wishes. Instead, it wants the global energy crisis to persist in order to inflict the greatest harm upon its rivals in Europe and China, after it has preoccupied and drained Russia in Ukraine, and to seize control of global energy contracts. Through this, the US becomes the unrivaled, sole dominant force in the international arena. Unless the Islamic Ummah takes charge of itself, overthrows these agents from among the rulers of the Muslims in Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, and appoints a Khaleefah Rashid (rightly-guided caliph) who will expose America’s true strength and reveal it to be a paper tiger; unless this happens, then America is heading toward sole dominance over the world and the Ummah. One can only imagine what the wolf will do if it becomes the shepherd of the sheep.
