Politics is the profession of the unprincipled. Countries with genuine national strategies are led by their interests. What is hidden is greater and more dangerous in the approaches of states, as not everything that occurs is revealed in public. And countries may cooperate and meet on common interests with their enemies, and states may display something different from what they conceal in their relations.
Wars come in various forms, including:— (Proxy Wars), (Wars of Interest), (Wars between covertly allied nations), (Liberation Wars) and (Agitation Wars), among others.
The war between America and Iran, its characteristics, mechanisms, pace, events, and incidents suggest that it is a war resulting from a dispute among allies over the division and control of influence in the region. I believe that the signs of this alliance will appear clear and distinct, instead of being a secret alliance in the dark.
The current war, and the 12-day war in June 2025, revealed many indications that it was a war resulting from (a dispute) between allies, and not a war between enemies.
There are many pieces of evidence, the most important being: If Iran were at enmity with America, would it have allowed the occupation of Iraq? Would it have allowed the U.S. to be present on its borders? Another piece of evidence is that America and Iran shared roles in destroying Iraq, stealing its wealth and resources, after which America established dozens of U.S. military bases in Iraq, and allowed Iran to destruct Iraq and dismantle it demographically, ideologically, regionally, and tribally. Iran founded dozens of sectarian militias, which tightened its grip on Iraq politically, economically, militarily, and security-wise.
The American-Iranian conflict is an ally's dispute over sharing control and influence. This is not strange, nor is it the first time it has happened among nations. There have been numerous wars ignited between allies in human history. Yes, historically, there have been wars and conflicts between covertly allied nations, or those coordinating their interests secretly, while appearing as enemies publicly.
Among the most prominent examples in recent history, before the outbreak of World War II, were when the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany secretly signed the (Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact) in August 1939, which included a secret clause for the partition of Poland and Eastern Europe. Despite this alliance and economic cooperation (covertly), the ideological enmity (communism versus fascism) continued to appear in the media, until this secret agreement actually ended with Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941.
During the Cold War, major powers (the United States and the Soviet Union) avoided direct military confrontations with each other. Instead, they engaged in proxy wars, where each country provided weapons, financial support, and logistical assistance to local governments or militias, battling each other, while the major leaders maintained communication and calming channels in (closed rooms).
In old Europe, empires and kingdoms often made secret treaties to ensure non-interference, or ((to share influence)), while declaring war to throw dust in the eyes, or to secure economic interests. One classic example is the ((Thirty Years' War)) in Europe. Some Catholic countries secretly supported alliances with Protestants, and vice versa, for purely political reasons related to ((expanding influence)), not because of the apparent religious differences.
Another type of war we Arabs must not forget is the Ramadan War of 1973. The late Arab leader / Gamal Abdel Nasser had prepared for a ((Liberation)) war, but after his death, and his ascension to his Lord as a sincere Arab leader, President / Anwar Sadat transformed it into an ((Agitation)) war aiming to strike a peace deal with the Zionist enemy.
There are many examples of ((covert)) wars. Therefore, I pose a question to the dear readers: Have you ever witnessed, heard, read, or even imagined a war like the one between America and Iran in June 2025—named the 12-day war, and the current war launched by America and the Zionist entity against Iran on 2026/2/28, which lasted (108) days, stopping on 2026/4/8. About (71)data-dismiss="modal" days varied between clashes, negotiations, accusations, and targeted bombardments, with the other party sometimes responding, and sometimes not, according to certain balances drawn by America, to which both parties comply.
Dear readers, have there ever been wars in the world where the attacking party informs the intended target about the names of the locations to be targeted and bombed ((as revenge)), specifying the hour of the targeting? This resembles a disagreement among lovers rather than a war between enemies.
In my humble opinion, sometimes the three parties do not control some of the attacks or bombings, and the reason could be the military personnel of the three parties. Sometimes the American military rebels, and sometimes the Revolutionary Guard, and America and Iran turn a blind eye to allow the military (to vent their spleen and irritation), because they are out of the game, and unaware of it.
By the way, the Zionist entity knows the game, but it disagrees with the Americans on dividing the roles and mechanisms for controlling the region, as it covets the largest share as an independent party, not under the American mantle.
In summarizing the results of the war, I say:—(Defeated) were America and the entity, and their arrogance was lost. What happened confirms that America is in (decline). The entity (suffered) and experienced destruction, havoc, fear, and insecurity. Iran was destroyed, yet it achieved a high status among nations, and the Arabs are the losers in a war they neither fought nor sought nor ignited, and will be divided among the three enemies submissively.
Americans scorn the Arabs, wishing to monopolize the plundering of their resources. The Zionist enemy schemes against us, coveting our occupation and the biblical dream from the Nile to the Euphrates, plotting against what remains of the Arab homeland to be submissive, humiliated, and subjugated.
The Iranians genetically despise the Arabs, covet our land and resources, and realistically occupy far more than what the Zionist entity occupies. They are allies, but they differ over sharing control and domination over us. Thus, all three are enemies and devils to the Arabs, and cannot possibly wish us well. The dispute is over us while we sleep. The days will show that what this war revealed is merely the signs of an alliance that will become ((obvious)), instead of being ((covert)).
I conclude with what the former U.S. Secretary of State / Henry Kissinger said to the Prime Minister of the enemy / Menachem Begin, where he said: ((I hand over to you a sleeping nation)). But I am fully confident that our weak, defeated Arab nation will rise, and victory looms after the retreat and defeat, as this is the destiny of nations since the beginning of creation.
