An ongoing battle

Tehran would be wrong if it tried to give the US forces a pretext for direct participation in the colonial war and its aggression against Iran. Washington announced that it did not participate in the Israeli strike against Iran. However, Netanyahu announced that he had informed American allies and European leaders in advance of the preemptive attack on Tehran. However, Iran has no interest in harming the many American bases spread around Iran, as there are similar European bases, and it is undoubtedly eager to pounce and participate in the aggression and hostility towards Iranian policies.

It is in Iran's interest to limit its battle to confronting the colony alone for several reasons:

First, because it was the colony that carried out the direct preemptive aggression against Iran, Iran has the right to respond legally, procedurally, and formally, even if these people do not respect the law or rights, and do not have any taboos. Nevertheless, Iran still has the right to defend itself and its sovereignty against the party that attacked it and violated its sovereignty and territory.

Secondly, it has no interest in expanding its battle and confrontation front to include the Americans and Europeans.

Third, attacking American and European bases in neighboring countries will push these countries into a battle in which they have no interest. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Iraq, Jordan, and others have declared their rejection of the Israeli aggression against Iran. Therefore, Iran has no interest in losing the positions of these countries, even if their positions are limited to issuing political and diplomatic statements condemning and denouncing the Israeli aggression, describing it as aggression. Therefore, it has no interest in losing them and pushing them to be part of the battle against it.

Iran's battle may be prolonged, and it may suffer further harm and losses, but it cannot restore the prestige of its regime before its own people, and before the world, without restoring its self-respect and without launching similarly painful strikes against the Israeli colony. This is because Iran will continue to encroach on Iranian sovereignty whenever it pleases, as it is currently doing with Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria.

After successfully striking Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Syrian army, the colony will continue its policies, ambitions, and attacks on all those who oppose it until it achieves hegemony and control, firstly, over all of Palestine, and secondly, over the countries of the Arab East, so that it will have the ability, power, and authority to impose whatever it deems appropriate for its interests, as a strong and decisive party.

Those who boast that they are against Iran and not with the colony, or those who imagine that they are from the neutral camp, are mistaken. The colony is working to confront all parties and countries that do not submit to or accept its hegemony and expansionist tendencies. This does not mean that the Arab countries will fight Iran, but they must not be and must not take a position that clashes with the Iranian position, because they will be in the colony’s aggressive, expansionist trench.
