Who Won and Who Lost in the War

The Israeli-Iranian war, which took place in the Gulf, has come to a halt. Trump was able to claim victory, and Netanyahu can also assert that he triumphed because he pushed Trump, the leader of the strongest army, to fight on his behalf. Iran, too, can claim victory in facing the world's greatest state.

The only loser is the Gulf states, which suffered the destruction of their facilities, oil, gas, and economies in a war that some thought would curb Iran's influence and install a new regime in Tehran. Even if this were to happen, replacing the mullah with a new American-Zionist Shah will not change anything, because the Shah is an heir to the Persian grievance against the Arabs, while the mullah is an heir to the sectarian grievance against the Arabs.

In terms of profit and loss, the losers are the Gulf states. I am not here to recount the secrets of how the Gulf became a platform against Iran without any interest in doing so, but what struck me was that the pale, uncouth creature Trump thanked the Gulf states in his successive speeches about his crusade for Zionism, except for Kuwait. He mocked it more than others when asked about Kuwait's unwillingness to use its territory in the war, arrogantly stating that it could not refuse, and ridiculed the downing of his planes by American missiles in Kuwait, claiming they were not shot down by friendly fire but rather unfriendly fire, as if implying that Kuwait was an enemy.

Trump's resentment towards Kuwait stems from its opposition to Israel, while other countries are normalizing relations or are candidates for normalization. When the so-called champion of Epstein's Island declared it was time for normalization and joining the alleged Abrahamic peace.

Kuwait bore the brunt of Iranian missiles more than others due to its proximity to Iran. Moreover, Iraqi militias directed by Iran unleashed their fury on the Kuwaiti consulate in Basra, and some officials and sectarian figures in Iraq called for annexing Bubiyan Island and lands from Kuwait to Iraq and abolishing the border demarcation agreement without seeing the devastation beneath their feet as Iraq is ravaged by Iran.

I am not conveying this from a place of flattery but because Kuwait was wronged by being dragged into a war in which it has no interests and did not seek.

Personally, I have been unjustly distanced from Kuwait since the mid-eighties without reason, except for professional journalistic reasons related to press suppression, and I have a material and moral debt owed to it. Nonetheless, we stood with her during her ordeal when she was occupied by Iraq. However, its stances on our issues and the stance of its people cannot be ignored or undervalued. I believe it was led against its will into this Zionist-Crusader war.

And God is the ultimate intention.
