Paul Craig Roberts \u2013 paulcraigroberts.org Oct 23, 2026<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Yesterday Sulaiman Ahmed and I discussed the widening war in the Middle East or West Asia as the area is now called.\u00a0 https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/R5-GMxCcTD0<\/a><\/p>\n

Washington and Israel have the Muslims allied against one another and in combat against one another as Washington and Israel prepare to renew their attack on Iran.\u00a0 Washington is in the process of moving US troops to areas less likely to be hit by Iranian missiles and drones.\u00a0 Flights of the Israeli Air Force in the air space of Syria and Iraq, as if these two countries still exist, indicate the Israeli preparation.\u00a0 Iran is aware of the coming attack, and Iran\u2019s military leader continues to emphasize that Iran\u2019s response will be harsh. Once again Iran is foolishly awaiting to absorb an Israeli-American first strike on Iran\u2019s forces before entering the conflict.<\/p>\n

The correlation of forces are against Iran, as the Iranian resistance to the Zionist agenda of Greater Israel consists of Iran, the Hezbollah militia in southern Lebanon, and the Houthi in Yemen, and both Hezbollah and the Houthi are weapon dependent on Iran.<\/p>\n

Arrayed against Iran are the nuclear powers Israel and Washington and also the rest of the Muslim world.\u00a0 Now that the alliance between Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, another nuclear power, has been made public, it is an alliance whereby an attack on one is an attack on all.\u00a0 It seems intended to bring Turkey and Pakistan into the conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen on the side of Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

As the Houthi are Iran\u2019s allies, the implication is that the alliance brings Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia into the Israeli-American war against Iran.\u00a0 Additionally, Egypt has offered military support to Saudi Arabia.\u00a0 So Israeli-American bribes and threats have the Muslim Middle East divided against itself and aiding the Israeli-American assault on Muslim sovereignty and independence.<\/p>\n

As I was concerned would be the case, Iran\u2019s acceptance of the initial ceasefire has resulted in a much wider conflict.\u00a0 Iran had Washington and Israel defeated, but acceptance of the ceasefire stopped Iran from completing its victory.<\/p>\n

With the correlation of forces against Iran, Iran should not wait on the attack but should strike first and disrupt the preparations for the attack on Iran.\u00a0 Why allow an enemy to weaken your force before committing it to the conflict?\u00a0 If the hesitation reflects Iran\u2019s concern that nuclear weapons would be used against Iran, it means that Iran cannot afford to win the conflict regardless whether Iran accepts a first strike or preempts one.<\/p>\n

I had thought that Russia and China for whom Iran is an important buffer against the march of American hegemony into their countries would protect their natural ally by forming a mutual security agreement with Iran.\u00a0 That would more than even the score in Iran\u2019s interests and prevent a wider conflict.\u00a0 Moreover, it would cause Israeli-American reconsideration of the Zionist agenda of Greater Israel and perhaps lead to its abandonment and to peace in the Middle East.\u00a0 Such an alliance would also deflate the Washington neoconservatives\u2019 world hegemonic agenda<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, neither the Russian nor Chinese governments had enough wits to act responsibly in their own interests.\u00a0 And India didn\u2019t either.<\/p>\n

Consequently, unless the approaching elections in Israel and the US interfere with the Washington\/Israeli plans, there will be a widening of the war and more damage to oil flows with winter approaching in Europe, Canada and the US.\u00a0 The unintentional consequences of Israeli-American ambitions and witlessness of Russian and Chinese governments could be catastrophic.<\/p>\n
