TEHRAN – The world is wondering why the United States and Israel started an unjust war against Iran. The world was surprised that the war started while negotiations were taking place between Iran and the US
Why did Donald Trump, who claimed to have “destroyed” Iran’s nuclear program during the 12-day war against Iran in June 2025, suddenly decide to attack Iran again in coordination with Israeli war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu?
The world is demanding answers for this irrational and senseless war that has caused many deaths, many of them war crimes and crimes against humanity, tens of billions of dollars in damage, and massive environmental disasters.
The war also took a heavy toll on Iran’s civil society, exacerbating the country’s economic problems.
The war with Iran has given credence to those who claim that the fittest rule the world.
Joe Kent, director of President Trump’s National Counterterrorism Center, who resigned on March 18 in protest of the war, wrote to X that “Iran is not an imminent threat to our country.”
“I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran,” he said.
Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump’s deep hatred for Iran is incomprehensible. Although the world greatly praised the 2015 multilateral nuclear agreement with Iran under President Barack Obama,
Trump, then the Republican presidential candidate, called it “the worst deal in history” and a “disaster” and threatened to tear up the deal if elected president. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a “historic error” and urged President Trump to retract it.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio claims that Iran is ruled by “radical Shiite clerics” whose bosses are puppets of extremist Christians and Zionists.
Former Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu wrote in Middle East Eye on April 5, “The Netanyahu-Trump alliance, supported by Zionist and Christian-Zionist ideological networks, has replaced geopolitical rationality with a theopolitical logic of war.”
Political theorist Davutoglu also believes that the world is not convinced by the logic of this war.
“Today, Americans and much of the world are asking a simple question: What logic led U.S. President Donald Trump to follow Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into starting a war with unclear objectives and potentially devastating consequences?”
“This war is not based on geopolitical rationality, but on a kind of theopolitical irrationality,” said Davutoglu, who served as foreign minister from 2009 to 2014.
In his resignation letter regarding X, Kent also said: “It is clear that we started this war under pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”
The world, including Washington’s allies in the West and East, realizes that America is ruled by a heartless bully.
Just as the ideologically driven Prime Minister Netanyahu says he feels a divine mission to build a greater Israel, so too does President Trump consider expanding U.S. territory. Calling Canada the 51st state of the United States and threatening to take over Greenland by force if necessary are obvious examples. Similarly, he has a voracious eye for the oil resources of countries he considers to be adversaries.
Just on Monday, April 6, President Trump said he wants to “take away” Iran’s oil, but the American people, whom Trump called “stupid,” want the war to end.
“Unfortunately, the American people want to see us go home. If it were up to me, we’d take the oil, we’d keep the oil. That would bring in a lot of money,” he shockingly told reporters at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll.
Allies reject President Trump’s request for aid
Despite President Trump speaking so bravely about his response to war with Iran, he believes himself in a corner and has made confusing and insulting statements.
First, he imagined that the war with Iran would be over in just a few days. He still fails to understand that countries exposed to illegal and brutal wars react strongly. That is why former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami, an advocate of “dialogue among civilizations” and internationally renowned as a thoughtful moderate, said on April 6: “In this moment of crisis, I kiss the hands and arms of the warriors and defenders of dignity, independence and territorial integrity who have been a source of pride for our country and respect for the free peoples of the world.”
Iran has now responded to this illegal war by closing the Strait of Hormuz to oil and gas tanker traffic and is pressuring America’s allies and countries around the world to help open the strategic waterway, which carries one-fifth of the world’s oil and gas supplies. He caused the closure of a transport route, but wants others to open it up. Mr. Trump speaks and acts as if the whole world is indebted to him.
Many countries around the world, including allies and friends of the United States, now view Mr. Trump as a bully and unpredictable who could one day fall victim to his indiscretions. His threats against Canada and Greenland proved that Trump does not distinguish between friend and foe. He only cares about those who inspired the Zionists. For example, in his April 6 remarks, he once again criticized Obama over the 2015 nuclear deal, claiming that “Obama chose Iran over Israel.”
Allies are refusing to participate in President Trump’s war because they don’t understand why it started and don’t want to risk the lives of their soldiers.
Britain, considered America’s closest ally in Europe, rejected President Trump’s appeal to join the war in the Strait of Hormuz.
Facing weeks of ridicule from President Trump over London’s stance on the war, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer told a press conference on April 1: “No matter what pressure is put on me or others, no matter what noise there is, I will act in Britain’s national interests.”
Mr Starmer has signaled his country will pivot towards the EU. He said the EU-UK summit in Brussels in the summer would focus on strengthening economic and defense ties with Europe, and said the move was “in our long-term national interests”.
The European Union’s chief diplomat, Kaja Callas, also told Trump: “This is not our war. We did not start it.” In a social media post, she also said, “This is Trump’s war and Netanyahu’s war.”
war. ”
President Trump’s reckless actions and approach are even prompting Europeans to reconsider their military dependence on the US
The more the world feels the economic pain of war due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the crimes committed, the more hatred there will be for Trump, his inner circle, and the Israeli Prime Minister.
And the world will continue to ask why this needless and unjust war started.
