A week passed-by since the war on Iran by the United States and Israel. It began with a bang on the 28th of February, 2026, by killing Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Komani and some members of his family. Along with them there were some more who held top positions in the politics, government departments, and in sensitive areas. The rage continued with such fury as the initial strikes on the first day dozens of fighter jets pounded the campuses and other locations including a school killing 160 young school children in Tehran and areas around erasing and decimating everything to the ground.
The devastations showed the fury and violence of those who ordered the strikes and sitting behind the war machines.
When asked about the war objectives, the American President Donald Trump said Iran should be restrained from enriching uranium the vital component for the production of nuclear bombs and missiles. So, the entire program and process by all means should be obliterated. Then its nuclear capability be totally destroyed, so that, Iran as the sponsor of terrorism be nullified. In this way the world would obviously become safer as it loses it capacity to developing nukes and thus spread terrorism across the world. Along these the American and Israeli leaders wanted the regime to be changed right from the top leadership and the entire coterie of the regime was evil as they want and, in their action, carry out that America and Israel should never exist.
After the initial strikes by Israeli and American forces, the scenario changed. The warring leadership thought that Iran would hesitate to act like the previous attacked in June, 2025 that took 12 days wherein Iran did not go with full throttle. As against it, this time after a big pause has started its campaign till this day sending barrage of missiles against all those countries that lend support both military and economic to the United States. Iran is now engaged in its fight to regain dignity and valour in the Middle-East and the world unleashing its fire power in all directions.
The rationale and justifications of the American administration seem to have been flawed and bizarre. As the negotiations were going between American and Iranian negotiators in Switzerland the Israeli and American leaderships came to a conclusion that Iran would not agree to the conditions and so went ahead for military solutions. Here we need to connect that has a lot connection. Even in prior to aggression in June, 2025 by United States and America and now whenever peace talks and negotiated settlement was about to reach Israeli PM Netanyahu breaks that by manoeuvring tactic pushes Trump to go for military solutions. It was the repeat this time too as Netanyahu diverted and went ahead for war at the cost destroying peace.
For his objective to realising Greater Israel (from river to sea metaphor) and to exerting the authority in the Middle East having United States as a iron-clad most dependable ally and the number one power both militarily and economically in the world, and Israel being the nuclear power, the only power that comes in between is Iran. Israel is aware of the fact that Iran has the capability and capacity to militarily outwit Israel in any given situation except Israel’s proximity of Israel with America, and so, the brute state Israel ruled by the far-right Jewish Zionists more particularly would never allow Iran to enrich uranium and the capability to produce and become nuclear. Netanyahu would never allow countries located in the Middle East becoming nuclear.
Operations Epic Fury and warring Lion The massive joint military action by both America and Israel on the 28th of last month has reached its fire power flickering in the skies and then creative huge sounds with bashing either objects or falling on the ground creating craters. We have been witnessing the entire Middle-East jointly lead by the United States Operation with code names Operation Epic Fury and operation Warring Lion had launched surprise attacks on Tehran on key targets with such rage and fury had lasted not that long. Never in recent history such devastations have taken wherein both the countries boasts of military strength and intelligence power went for a big toss and then to a naught. The entire paraphernalia such as war intelligence, strategy, objectives, goals, justifications, timings, enter-exit clarity and many others seem to be having no clarity and purpose. At one point Israel, America, and their proxies became just receiving points.
Having observed the retaliatory modes of Iran across the Middle-East particularly those supporting its territories with offering to have American bases and facilities wanted to go for ceasefire, which Iran declined. The cost of the war especially the loss of human lives of American and Trump acknowledged that there would more losses of Americans. On the first day Israeli fighter jets demolished a school killing more than 150 school children which would be taken up the international organisations for investigation and inquiry. Everything seems to have failed American and Israeli intelligence, communications, fire powers and sophisticated missiles, drones, and fighter jets. American and Israelis coordination and cohesion have failed miserably.
A question that rages in the air is: Was Israel forced American President Donald Trump to go to war? The source claims that Marco Rubio, Secretary of State along with some other officials said so. Then it becomes very clear that Bibi Netanyahu the PM of Israel makes and takes decisions and Donald Trump follows blindly. Many top military officials advised Trump not to go to war because the terrains and coming to grips of complexities changes frequently and predictions and perceptions tends to change as Iranians have many options, choices and strategies. For Bibi/ Netanyahu, this war would brighten the chances of winning forthcoming elections.
Accordingly, he wooed Trump as the elections for the Congress is forthcoming. Bibi is cunning and seasoned hawk, whereas Trump has been real-estate businessman entrenched with egos and super-egos not knowing to moderate power and no sense of governance. Like a lamb he got into Bibi’s trap. As of now the world is stunned as Iran rejected the American offer of cease-fire. The fury of Iran is systematic and surgical. Trump went against the advice of his war veterans and generals. He ignored the warnings of those professionals. He may be asking his partner to somehow ask for ceasefire.
He listened to Bibi who took him to the valley of disgrace and shame. Never in history an American President faced such humiliations and rejection.
Any ceasefire will happen not on American and Israeli terms, but on Iranian terms. For Trump, it is not going to be clean exit and surgical strike. Iran is acting as strategist, but Trump is like a gambler filled with grandeurs. Old framework is finished and new global order is emerging. Do not wilt and submit when Washington strikes—face it and fight it out.
