By the time this article gets printed the war might get over. But whether it is over or not it is important
for the citizens of the world to know why this ware took place and whether such wars can be stopped
once and for all. At present we have three major conflicts in the world: the ongoing war between,
Russia and Ukraine, war between Israel and Palestine (Hisbulla), war between America, Israel on one
side and Iran on the other.
The Cult of Militarization and Global Impact
Our younger generation will need to know the cult of militarization. We are living in a world where
there are countries which are friends and those which are enemy countries. Our politicians tell us that
Pakistan is our enemy. Another politician comes and says China is a greater enemy than Pakistan. If we
analyse the trade relationship between India and other countries signed by Modi, almost all these are
primarily focused on purchase of arms and missiles. Our country would like to buy better and ultra-
modern war planes and weapons than the ware machines our enemy countries have.
If you listen to the nonpartisan news, they will tell us that the present war will bring the world to a
standstill. We have already began to feel the impact of the war in West Asia ; scarcity of cooking gas,
not to speak about the price rise of cooking gas ; crude oil prices going up to $180 per barrel leading to
high rise of petrol and diesel.
The war is not fought on American soil. The whole of West Asia is burning resulting in deaths of
innumerable people, women, and children. We are told that Israel has killed 60,000 Palestinians. This
should make us think what could have led these people to such an insanity. They have lost their power
of thinking how their action holds the whole world to ransom.
America’s Addiction to War
This led me to study the causes of such wars. If we analyze the history of world from 1960 till now, we
will find that Us has been involved in more wars than any other country. America is addicted to war. It
takes on the most active, powerful, and destructive force in the world. We are not talking about the
World War II.
As I have stated America has been always the main figure in all these wars. It is not just Trump who is
addicted to war. The history of America will tell us that even the great and respected leader such John
Kennedy was a leader in the war. Starting from Cuban crisis to Vietnam war he had been the president
of America. I would like to restrict to the war in west Asia, between America and Iran. I am aware that
the present war was started by Israel. But the agenda was that of America.
Historical Roots: Foreign Interference in Iran
If you look into the history of Iran, we will know that there were many leaders who had great dreams
for Iran. Before the Shah regime most people refer to (the Pahlavis), Iran was ruled by the Qajars
(1796–1925). This era was marked by The Great Game; a struggle for influence between the British
and Russian Empires. Iran lost significant territory in the Caucasus to Russia. Tired of royal corruption
and foreign interference, Iranians forced the Shah to establish a parliament (Majles) and a constitution
during the Constitutional Revolution (1905–1911). It was the first movement of its kind in the Middle
East.
After WWI, the country was in chaos. In 1921, a military officer named Reza Khan staged a coup,
eventually deposing the last Qajar king in 1925. Reza Shah Pahlavi (1925–1941) aimed to turn Iran
into a modern, secular state like Turkey. He built the Trans-Iranian Railway, founded the University of
Tehran, and famously banned the hijab in 1936 to Westernize the public. He was forced to abdicate
by the British and Soviets during WWII due to his perceived sympathies for Germany.
In 1953 Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh assume power in Iran. He nationalized Iranian oil,
which had been controlled by the British. In response to this, the CIA and MI6, (foreign, secret
intelligence service of UK), orchestrated a coup to reinstate the absolute power of Shah who could be a
puppet ruler for America. This event became the foundation that shaped the hostile relationship
between United States and Iran.
The 1979 Revolution: Choosing the Lesser Evil
During the period of Shah there was a presence of strong Marxist force in Iran. Iran shared boarder
with the erstwhile Soviet Union and ideologically Iran ruler was much closer to the Soviet Union. The
Marxist movement played a critical role in destabilizing the Shahs regime. While the revolution is
often remembered as purely Islamic, it was actually, a coalition of the unwillings that included a
massive secular and leftist presence.
There was a massive revolt against the America’s stooge, Shah of Iran. There was a strong possibility
that the power from the Shah would be taken over by the Marxist. America preferred that the Islamist
fundamentalist take power than the Marxist start ruling Iran. America helped in butchering and
decimating the Marxist. America made it possible that the lesser evil (Khomenei) come to power.
Ayatollah Khomeini regime was very hostile to America.
The Present Conflict: Nuclear Fears and Proxy Warfare
Coming to the present situation: The relationship between Israel, the United States, and Iran is one of
the most complex geopolitical conflicts in the world. We can break down the reasons for these attacks
into a few main categories:
A primary reason for the friction is Iran’s nuclear program. Israel and the U.S. have long expressed
concern that Iran is working toward developing nuclear weapons, which they view as a major threat to
global and regional stability. Israel sees a nuclear-armed Iran as an existential threat (a threat to its
very existence). The U.S. aims to prevent a nuclear arms race in the Middle East and protect its allies
and interests in the region. America has massive investment in Middle oil east business, Eg. Aramco.
Iran supports several proxy groups, militant organizations that share its goals, across the Middle East.
These include Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Houthis in Yemen. Israel and the U.S.
have targeted Iranian military infrastructure to disrupt the flow of weapons and funding to these
groups. Often, an attack is actually a counter-attack. In October 2024, Israel launched strikes on
Iranian military sites specifically in response to a massive ballistic missile barrage Iran had fired at
Israel weeks earlier. In June 2025, joint operations (like Operation Midnight Hammer) targeted Iranian
nuclear and military facilities following a breakdown in diplomatic negotiations and renewed regional
hostilities.
The 2025-2026 Escalation and Operation Epic Fury
Israel was feeling very insecure because they had been attacking Palestine and Gaza. They had killed,
according to some estimate, 60,000 Palestinians. Iran has been supplying arms and money to the
Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Houthis in Yemen. They pressurized Donald Trump to
joined Israel in attacking Iran.
June2025 Trump had claimed that US had completely destroyed Iran’s nuclear sites. Despite that
Trump claimed Teheran was only weeks away from developing a nuclear bomb. Contradicting Donald
Trump’s justification for ongoing war US intelligence, Director of National intelligence Tulsi Gabbard
testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Capital Hill in Washington DC. Gibbard
was a Congress woman. She had opposed war with Iran and resigned, stating there was no imminent
nuclear threat from Iran. She stated Trump has been misled by Israel.
The most recent and significant military action by the United States against Iran occurred on February
28, 2026, as part of a joint campaign with Israel known as Operation Epic Fury. This operation marked
a dramatic escalation, moving from years of proxy conflict to direct, large-scale combat operations.
The decision to launch the February 2026 strikes was driven by three primary factors:
* Nuclear Persistence: Despite the damage from the June 2025 strikes, intelligence indicated
Iran was attempting to reconstitute its nuclear program and barred IAEA inspectors from
verifying their progress.
* Internal Instability: The Trump administration cited the Iranian regimes harsh repression
of its own citizens during the January 2026 protests as a sign of the regimes weakened
legitimacy, viewing it as a strategic window for intervention.
* The Decapitation Strategy: US and Israeli officials stated that the timing was specifically
tied to intelligence regarding the location of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The goal was to
eliminate the regimes leadership before they could move into more secure, hardened facilities.
The God Father Complex and the Failure of Regime Change
American functions as God Father. It pretends to be taking care of the world, particularly the weaker
countries. But this is totally wrong. America at first wanted to protect the countries from being
captured by the communist Soviet Union. They formed into North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It
made other countries believe that the communist countries are evil empire and the member countries
should protect themselves from the communists. But NATO has functioned more for the interests of
America.
America wants all the countries to become democratic. But it had turned democratic countries or
functioning autocratic countries into Oppressive Dictatorial countries those serve American interests.
The example is Marcom regime in Philippines. It wants to develop the middle east or east Asia into
democratic countries. The path they have adopted is by changing the regimes in these countries.
In Afghanistan They wanted to put an end to Soviet Union guided government into democracy. They
chose Saudi Arabian man, Osama bin Ladin. They funded him and supported his al-Qaeda and Taliban
and succeeded into ousting the USSR back government. The result is that Osama bin and alcaide
became international terrorist regime and too their revenge on America by pulling down the twin tower
in New York which was housing International Trade centre.
In Iran the Americans wants regime change. Since there were massive unrest and the regime handling
this unrest with hard hand America thought it was an excellent opportunity to attempt to change the
regime. They killed the supreme leader of Iran and trump told the agitating people to go and capture
the state power. It is yours to take.
When there was a quick anointing of the new leader it dashed the hopes of regime change. On the
contrary scores of people came on the streets in condemning the attack on their supreme leader and in
support of their new leader. They attacked the new leader too. They killed another very powerful
national security chief and de facto leader overseeing the country’s decision making person. America is
systematically decapitating the Iran’s power structure to ensure regime change. But this does not seem
to give desired results. The organization of top power structure is very efficient. If the top official is
eliminated then there a next equally competent person to take place of the previous.
America seems to believe in democracy and wants to export democracy to other nation. But their idea
of democracy is so fraught that they impose leaders on the nation who would function as puppets of
America. These puppets far from being democratic rule with iron hand to make sure that America finds
it easy to plunder that country.
In all these great designs’ ultimate interest is to gain total control on oil Energy and become supreme
power in the world. On January 3, 2026, the US launched Operation Absolute Resolve, a military raid
in Carcas that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia
Flores. The main intention is to capture the oil production, with the intention of invest billions of
dollars to revitalize the oil production.
