Is a War Between the US and Iran Coming?

Iran and the US will meet for the third round of nuclear negotiations. The future of the Middle East depends a lot on what happens in this meeting. If they don’t reach a final decision, then war seems almost certain.

After 9/11, an interview of former NATO commander Wesley Clark went viral. In that interview, he said, “Israel told the US to attack seven Muslim countries.” Those countries were: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, Somalia and... you guessed it, Iran.

Of course, the US denied all of that. That’s not a surprise. Nobody has yet found solid legal proof against them even after all the civil wars they’ve stirred up.

Out of those seven countries, who’s left? Just Iran. So what does the US really want from Iran?

The US wants Iran to stop mining uranium and doing anything related to it. In simple words, it wants Iran to give up nuclear power forever. This demand isn’t just the US talking, it’s actually coming from Israel too.

Why? Because if Iran manages to build its nuclear power, Israel can no longer act like the boss of the Middle East region. Right now, Israel is strong, no doubt. But as long as Iran holds its ground, Israel can’t just launch a nuclear strike and expect no consequences.

Sadly, the US and Europe control global media. Through this, they play a game of Noopolitik, means using ideas and narratives as a weapon. They tell a story that makes the US look like the peace-loving hero. You might even hear them say, “We don’t want war, we just don’t want Iran to build weapons.” Yeah, that’s what they want you to believe.

They also played another trick earlier - creating tension between Sunni and Shia Muslims. Why make enemies when you can make them fight each other?

Let’s talk basics. Who owns Iran’s uranium? Iran. But who’s trying to control them around? The US.

The US President Trump said, “If Iran enriches uranium, we’ll bomb them.” Funny thing is, Canada which shares a border with the US is the second biggest uranium producer in the world. Did the US ever point a finger at Canada? Nope.

Even funnier, the US itself has the most nuclear warheads on the planet. If they really want peace, why don’t they destroy their own warheads first?

Now, some may ask, “If Iran agrees to stop the enrichment of uranium, will the US leave them alone?”

Here’s a story. The US once made a similar deal with Iraq. Saddam Hussein shut down all his nuclear projects. But later the US said, “we think he still has secret nukes!” We all know how that ended.

So should Iran give up its program? I say, absolutely not. Even if they do, the US will still find an excuse to attack. In fact, keeping the uranium program alive is the only thing that keeps Iran safe right now.

If the US dares to attack, Iran won’t just sit quietly. Most of the world's oil (about 60%) passes through the Strait of Hormuz. Who controls it? Iran. If war breaks out, Iran can block that route. Oil prices will shoot up and the many countries will feel the heat and pressure the US. 

Here’s a funny but serious theory about nuclear weapons. If only one country in a region has nukes, it’s a problem. That lonely one is dangerous. Like now, if Iran is taken down, Israel will be the only one with nuclear power in the Middle East. That’s risky.

Look at India and Pakistan. They don’t get along. But both have nukes, so they never go into full war. That balance keeps them in check.

In short, peace through equal power. One-sided control leads to conflict.
