This article is not about the history of the age old hostility between Iran and Israel. It is about the current armed face up between the two acrimonious nations, and the position of many Arabian countries in the region, and Africa.

The Arabs, in both the Middle East and Africa, lost, and have been exposed by the current military conflict between Iran and Israel, as the losers over the years. They have been indirectly funding Israel to KILL their fellow Arabs in Lebanon, by frequently giving the US, UK, and France the use of their military airspace from where they attack Iran. The Middle East Arabs also give huge amount of money as well as other ‘gifts’ periodically ’. And the trio are the sponsors of Israel in cash and war equipment, all the times.

Shame is on countries like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, many of whom provided logistics support to the West to attack Iran, or to defend Israel against the Iranian attack. Though they belong to the same religion, but differ in sects. While Iran is mainly a Shi’a country, the Arab countries are Sunni Muslims. The two sects are diametrically opposed to each other.

In a previous article, I expressed my reservation that the United Kingdom and France would “call Israel to order” over her many transgressions in the region. The two countries had announced to the world that they would do that. But my reservation came to pass, when Israel launched the FIRST strike on IRAN. The rest, as the saying goes, is history.

The three nuclear nations, not only assist Israel in her warmongering campaigns, they also undertake direct military engagements on her behalf. Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, to name a few Muslim dominated countries all fell victims of this
for no justifiable reason other than the fact that they are a Muslim dominated independent states that allegedly possessed ‘weapons of mass destruction’.

Long before Iran, Saddam Hussain of Iraq and Muammar Gadaffi of Libya had been framed, subsequently attacked and murdered by the leading countries of the so called NATO coalition. If was orchestrated to protect Israel from the two nations, who had the power and mind to fight the warmongering Israel under the leadership of the Zionist Netanyahu.

Years after he was disgraced from office, former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, admitted that the intelligence reports received by NATO about Iraq, and Libya possessing the so called ‘weapons of mass destruction’ were proven to be false. This is as a false statement, because the ‘coalition’ knew that Saddam and Gadaffi did not possess, nor were they near possessing ‘weapons of mass destruction’ (chemical weapons).

The committee headed by the renowned British scientist, Professor David Kelly, a renowned expert in biological warfare, had cleared the two heads of government of possessing ‘weapons of mass destruction’. But the the three governments of US, UK, and France, not only engineered the murder of the two Muslim Heads of state, but callously murdered the British scientist for exonerating the duo and destroyed the committee’s report. They told the world that “Dr. David Kelly tragically died”, while in the real sense he was murdered, because he said they were wrong.

Even Israel herself was later to declare that “the region was safer with Saddam in charge of Iraq, not the warring warlords that are currently fighting for control of the country”. The aftermath of the deliberate ‘taking out’ of Saddam became too dangerous for Israel, and chaotic for the region. In the end the US imposed its stooges, with Nouri al-Malik as Prime Minister, and Jalal Talabani as the President of Iraq.

For most parts of the 20th and 21st centuries, the US has bombed (and counting) more countries in the world than all the other ‘powerful’ nations combined. Her victims include Japan, China, united Korea, many Islamic counties, other than those mentioned earlier, and a host of others. US’s life is soiled by many dirty military incursions into weaker foreign countries.

The ongoing war has demystified Israel’s as the only powerful nation in the region. It may be the only atomic power, but the possession of weapon of ‘mass destruction’ is not comforting enough. The effects and the aftermath of atomic weapon cannot be limited to the intended target.

Russia, the US, China, France, the UK, India, Pakistan, North Korea a few other countries are also armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons. They give the possessor a bragging right of being a nuclear power nation, an exclusive club whose members number about (14). But it does not give the license to use them. Nuclear weapon war is a war to end all wars, otherwise known as Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD).

The Western media is bombarding the world with the propaganda that Israel is winning the war, and Iran is losing out. But there is an irony in the propaganda, because in the same breath, the shameless Western media is calling the ‘loser’ (Iran) to stop raining missiles on its poster child, Israel, the country that is supposed to be ‘winning the war’.

It is akin to the use of propaganda in Nigeria to run a failed regime. The economy is improving, the regime’s propagandists keep telling the world, even as more and more citizens join the club of the destitute, who can hardly afford a decent meal in one day. It is a country where indolence (that is what majority of the so called legislators are), psychopathy and praise singing are more considered and rewarded (handsome) than doctors, university lecturers and their likes.

The Western world mainstream Media, and Financial institutions are in the hands of, and controlled, by the Zionists, who prepare to remain the unseen kingmakers rather than be the seen king in the Western. They prefer to be given the foreign affairs ministry, or to operate from behind, wielding enormous influence in the places of interest to them, such as the docile Middle East and the gullible Africa.

A one time President of the USA, Bill Clinton alleged that the warmongering Israel leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, had long wanted “to fight Iran so that he can stay in office forever”, hence his resolve to engage in war of attrition with Iran, before the current armed conflict.

Nigeria was ‘ordered’ by her Western masters to send a letter to the two warring countries, to express displeasure over the war. The regime of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the letter offered to mediate in the raging conflict between the two countries.

The question is why did the president failed to caution Israel, who started the war but decided to intervene when Iran answered her in kind? It
may e perceived as be the regime’s continuation of its subtle war on Islam. In Nigeria, if one happens to be a Hausa/Fulani Muslim such a person is like a second class citizen in the country of his own birth, as far as the Sheriff in town is concerned.

The fact can be seen from the many anti Muslim policies of the regime. Most of the president’s ministerial, parastatals, and other agencies’s appointments, and the 2025 Democracy Day honourees are dominated by followers of a particular faith in the country, and the so called human rights activists from the president’s tribe are found missing in action. They are very loud by their silence.

Muslims organisations such as Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) and Muslims in the South West (MUSWEN ), have each written to the Nigerian leader complaining of the noticeable marginalisation of Muslims in the constitution of members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC), many other appointments of the heads of federal parastatals and agencies, among others.

In its letter, MURIC alleged that despite the president’s majorly rejection at the 2013 polls by Southern Christians, his appointments to date favours them over Muslims who overwhelmingly supported and cast their votes to him during the said presidential election.

MUSWEN wrote to the number one citizen complaining of the same thing. The organisation complained to the president of favoured the Christians over Muslims in all his appointments despite the huge contributions they made to ensure that success of his electoral victory.

The newspaper, ThisDay, during his attendance to the inauguration of the present Pope, said somewhat proudly in a screaming headline that the Nigerian president had made 62% of his appointments from the followers of the Christian faith.

In fact, if the Tinubu regime had its way, it would introduce a TRIBAL and RELIGIOUS bent to the FREE AIR citizens of Nigeria breath. The regime would ASK all Hausa/Fulani Muslims to pay, before being allowed to breath in the country.

Some notable, and not so notable people in the Christendom, stated unambiguously that Christians’s initial opposition to the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the president and his Vice was with the benefit of hindsight really misplaced, because the “president is actually working for us”, they claimed.

It is to be noted that Israel is NOT a Christian country, nor Iran an entire Muslim nation. Israel is made up of 73.6% Jewish people, 18.1 Muslims, 1.9%, Duruz 1.6. and other religions make the rest of the % 4.8% of the population.

Iran, on her part, is populated by 99.98% Muslims (89% of whom are Shia), and 0.02% other religions, which includes Zoroastrianism, Christianity, Jewish and Baha’is believers.

May God give victory and success to those who are always with Him, and obey His commands at all times. Not to those who perpetually oppose Him and go against His ways.
