An Nasr

Iran named its renewed military campaign against the United States "Operation Nasr 2" to signify a campaign of retaliation and victory. 

After forty days of fighting during their first stand off, the United States and Iran signed a ceasefire agreement on June 17 which hopefully laid a foundation for a permanent cessation of hostilities between the two countries.

However, only a few weeks after signing the ceasfire agreement, the U.S renewed its military campaign against Iran under the guise of safeguarding navigation through the strait of Hormus. 

As usual, Iran is retaliating against the U.S attacks by hitting U.S interests across the Gulf region. 

However, unlike its previous campaigns that they have codenamed  "True Promise" in a chronological series of 1, 2 , 3 and 4, this time round Iran has codenamed its retaliation campaign against the U.S, "An Nasr."

The word "nasr" (نصر) translates to "victory" or "triumph" in Arabic and Persian.

This hope for victory by the Iranians is also based on the Qur'anic verse where Allah promises victory to a weaker side in battle as long as it is the side standing for truth. 

Qur'an 3:13 says:

"There has already been for you a sign in the two armies that met [in combat]: One was fighting in the cause of Allah, the other resisting Allah; whom they saw with their own eyes as twice their number. But Allah doth support with His aid whom He pleaseth. In this is a warning for such as have eyes to see." 

This verse references the miraculous Battle of Badr, where a small Muslim army defeated a much larger Quraysh force.

It serves as a reminder that victory comes from God rather than sheer numbers or highly sophiscated military equipment.

The Historical Context of the above verse:

This verse highlights the Battle of Badr (624 CE). The Muslim army (around 313 men) faced a well-equipped Quraish army of over 1,000 men. [1,]

The Quraysh forces appeared to the Muslims to be twice their number, which made the victory even more of a miracle, emphasizing divine intervention.

Divine Support: 

The verse highlights the core Islamic concept that true power and victory do not rely on military might or numerical advantage, but on God's will and spiritual devotion.

In the same way, the U.S jointly with their allies across the world have teamed up against Iran. 

The U.S is the world's affirmed most superior power on earth. 

Even as this is so, the U.S has teamed with a number of other major powers against the Islamic Republic of Iran! These include Israel, the very wealthy Gulf states and some of U.S allies in Europe who are silently participating in the war. All these against Iran, which of cousre is a much weaker country and seems to be standing alone on her side. 

However, while the U.S boasts of its military prowess and its undeniable influence allover the world, Iran only looks to God as their sole ally in the ongoing fight for its survival. 

It is not surprising therefore, that with all its military prowess, the U.S together with its allies seem to be losing against a much weaker state of Iran.

Trump's confusing policy on Iran: Oops! He didn't wage a war to make peace!

Iran's nuclear issues have been around for over 2 decades especially since dissidents in the country revealed uranium enrichment and heavy water facilities in Natanz and Arak in 2002. While the crisis began in 2002, Iran's legitimate nuclear program started in the 1950s under the U.S "Atoms for peace" program, which provided research reactors to the Shah of Iran, who was the leader of Iran during that time. Since the exposure of Iran's secret nuclear sites, controversy over Iran's covert nuclear enrichment has been ongoing, with Iran maintaining its right to peaceful nuclear technology while the international community has periodically restricted its program through negotiations and sanctions. Important to note is that since the birth of the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979, all power was vested in the Supreme Leader(Ayatollah) and his Fatwah(ruling) influences and can sometimes, override state legislation. A Fatwah by the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei ...

Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey alliance: Suspicious and dead on arrival.

While most analysts believe that the Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan pact is indeed here to replace the waning United States influence in the Middle East, I firmly stand to differ from this general opinion even if it means standing alone! Using a binoculars, one can clearly see a green snake gliding around in the green grass of this so called security pact.  The green snake is the United States of America! Without going any further, let me state that in my crazy opinion, this pact is in fact meant to save the U.S from completely losing its influence in the Middle East region by trying to cub the shocking military power of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Here is the reality, th e Gulf states have always been blind believers in America's unmatched power.  They gave out big chunks of land to the U.S to set up large military bases in their countries with the belief that in case of aggression, the invincible U.S will protect them.  Infact, these wealthy Arabs had began to loo...

The U.S-Iran war: A war in search of a mission

The United States together with Israel have always dreamed of destroying Iran especially after the 1979 Islamic Revolution which saw the outsing of the U.S -Israel puppet regime of Shah Reza Pahlavi.  Naturally, with its wounded ego, the U.S had to punish the Iranians for their "rebellion".  Over the years since the end of the Islamic Revolution, the U.S has given Iran a rough time.  At the hand of the mighty U.S.A, Iranians have faced numerous military campaigns against their territory.  Notably, is the Iran-Iraq war of 1980-1988 where the U.S supported Saddam Hussein of Iraq to launch a war against the Islamic Republic.  This came shortly after the country had gone through the tide of a Revolutionary war, before the it could fully stand on  its feet.  Iran has faced sanctions and global isolation at the hands of the brutal Americans.  Furthermore, the U.S jointly with Israel have ocassionally assassinated Iran's top military commamders and nucl...
