13,000 strـikes… and still, the confrontation was not decisively settled. Professor Juan Cole argues that the problem was not the size of U.S. military power, but the very nature of the conflict itself. According to his analysis, Irـ.an approached the confrontation differently: low-cost drـones, mobile launchers, decoys, and attrition — tactics that made traditional military superiority less effective. The question raised by this confrontation is not simply: Who won?

Sayyed Ali Khamenei is not merely a political figure; he is a religious and moral symbol who has carried the cause of the Ummah through times of trial. It is painful when fairness comes from afar, while some from within continue to cast doubt, distort, and refuse to honor his place. Sanctity does not need anyone’s testimony. But when it is acknowledged by those beyond your own path, it becomes a mirror for those who failed to see it. #Iraq #Iran #USA #Global #Viral
