Greetings to Iran's lies
My question in the previous article was: How did Iran allow the largest US naval force to blockade its shores and strike it daily, and what was its response to the Gulf?
The second and more astonishing question is: Why does Iran not focus its strikes on Israel instead of focusing them on Bahrain and Kuwait, which have no connection to what happened? Does the Revolutionary Guard not know that the occupied Israeli entity is America’s center in the region, the head of the snake around which conspiracies are hatched, and the one that ignited the war and assassinated their leaders?
This behavior is not new to the Iranian revolutionary regime; rather, it is a policy carrying deep-seated hatreds that have emerged clearly with the first signs of internal instability and institutional collapse.
The issue, my brothers, is deeper than mere military calculations justifying the presence of US bases in the Gulf; it is a political-ideological mindset that cannot tolerate seeing its neighbors in security, stability, and prosperity. Instead of investing with its neighbors in science, development, civilizational progress, and intellectual rapprochement, or directing its wealth toward the welfare and development of the Iranian citizen, it dedicated its energies and scientists to manufacturing weapons to fight its neighbors and incite sectarian strife. It drained its country’s resources to arm factions of hatred to protect the regime and consolidate its foundations.
This animosity toward the Gulf did not arise in this war; the Iranian regime has long worked to incite segments of its people against the people of the peninsula. Thus, the Arab became a historical adversary in some of this rhetoric, and the Gulf resident was accused of luxury, collaboration, and subservience, as if the blessing of security and development were a crime deserving punishment!
The Great Quran clarified the reality of this type of people when it described the envy and hatred in the hearts of the People of the Book, in His statement: “And much of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves [even] after the truth has become clear to them.”
Scholars state that the primary driver was not ignorance of the truth or doubt in it, but the sole and foremost motivator was pure envy; they resented seeing others in blessings, security, and elevation, so they wished for its removal and sought to corrupt and eliminate it without justification. This is exactly the case with every envious person who is unable to elevate himself and build a successful experience, so he strives to destroy others and bring them down to deprive them of their blessings.
Envy, in legal and linguistic terminology, is wishing for the removal of a blessing from the one upon whom it has been bestowed and desiring to take it away from him. Scholars have elaborated on its danger and psychological roots; Ibn al-Qayyim defined it as “hatred of the blessing bestowed by the Benefactor upon another and wishing for its removal.”
This distinction reveals the difference between sound and diseased souls. Al-Fudayl ibn ‘Iyad said: “The believer feels blessed (ghibt) but does not envy (hasad), and the hypocrite envies but does not feel blessed.” Ghibt wishes good for everyone, whereas envy breeds only resentment and waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Perhaps the most eloquent description of the depth of this disease is what is attributed to Mu’awiya ibn Abi Sufyan, who said:
