Mr President, why did you start this war? This is the question that the New York Times asked President Trump in its editorial on February 28, 2026. A few hours before another attack on Iran by the United States and Israel, the world media was broadcasting the news that the talks between the United States and Iran in Geneva were moving in the right direction thanks to Oman’s efforts. Trump also used these talks for deception and attacked Iran during the talks. As a result of this attack, the fire of a new war has spread throughout the Middle East. After the end of the life of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the flames of this war will flare up even more. Apparently, Trump’s goal is to change the regime in Iran, but will regime change bring stability to Iran?
Trump and Netanyahu have together brought the world to the brink of a third world war. This little guy, in his column titled “The only danger ahead” in the Jang daily on January 1, 2026, expressed his fear that the world is moving towards a third world war and to avoid this war, everyone will have to come together to stop Netanyahu in 2026. Only Trump could stop Netanyahu, but unfortunately, he became his partner and is seeking praise by announcing the death of Khamenei. Will this war be limited to a change of regime in Iran? Why is the New York Times asking the US President the reason for starting the war? Didn’t the editorial board of the New York Times listen to the interview of US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee in which he openly supported Greater Israel? Before the start of this war, two important events occurred that are very closely related to the Greater Israel project. The first event was the visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said a day before the start of the visit that he was going to form a broader regional alliance with India against Shia extremists and Sunni extremists.
This claim seemed to indicate a determination that Israel and India would work together to divide Muslims on sectarian lines and commit aggression against them. The second important event was that as soon as Modi arrived in Israel, the Afghan Taliban carried out 51 attacks on the border with Pakistan.
Pakistan responded to these attacks with lightning speed and for the first time made Afghanistan realize that it had provoked a nuclear power. I am not forcibly finding any connection between these attacks on Pakistan and Modi’s visit to Israel. All I know is that the current Indian Ambassador to Israel, JP Singh, went to Kabul in November 2024 and met with Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi and other important Afghan leaders. JP Singh has also served in Islamabad. He played a very important role in bringing the Afghan Taliban closer to Delhi. Whether the Afghan brothers believe it or not, everyone can see that India is using them against Pakistan. On the night between February 26 and 27, when the Afghan Taliban attacked Pakistan, we cannot ignore Modi’s presence in Israel. Who knows that those who advised the Taliban to attack Pakistan were actually conspiring to make Muslims fight Muslims.
Pakistan is very aware of the partnership between India and Israel and there was a fear that this partnership could lead to an aggression against Pakistan by both of them, which could directly or indirectly involve the Afghan Taliban, so before such a time came, they were responded to by invading Afghanistan. Now let’s move on to the new war started by Trump and Netanyahu, which is moving from the Middle East to South Asia. When the US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, supported Greater Israel, I was reminded of the 2006 Lebanon-Israel war. During that war, I spent several weeks in Lebanon and Syria – at that time, the British journalist Robert Fisk was in Beirut and I listened very carefully to the words of Robert Fisk, a journalist who had come to Beirut to report on the war from all over the world. I heard the details of the Greater Israel plan from Fisk’s language for the first time. Fisk used to say that the Zionists seek justification for this project from the Bible and the Torah, but in reality, it is a plan to establish political and economic dominance over the world. It was here that I heard about an American Jew, Colonel Ralph Peters, who in 2006 published a new Middle East map in the US Armed Forces Journal, in which the borders of Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and Iraq were changed, as well as Saudi Arabia.
Ralph Peters’ map also included independent Kurdistan and independent Balochistan. To create an independent Kurdistan, it was necessary to break Iraq and Turkey, and to create an independent Balochistan, the Baloch majority areas of Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan had to be connected to each other. Colonel Ralph Peters wrote many articles based on this map. Then he also wrote a book called Never Quit the Fight. Colonel Ralph Peters declared Pakistan and Saudi Arabia to be unreal states. He added some areas of Saudi Arabia to Jordan. Many areas of Iran were given to Azerbaijan and some areas were included in independent Balochistan. Colonel Ralph Peters called this new map the borders of blood. Behind these borders of blood was actually the plan of Greater Israel, which Americans like Mike Huckabee are openly supporting today. The question arises, what is Modi’s interest in Greater Israel? Modi is actually the enemy of Muslims. Every plan to oppress Muslims and divide them is the voice of his heart. He considers Greater Israel and Akhand Bharat to be a link in the same chain. The Modi government has put up a map of Akhand Bharat in the Indian Parliament, under which it wants to include some areas of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Tibet in India. The Afghan Taliban have not condemned Akhand Bharat till date or they are not yet aware of it. Anyway, Israel and India actually want to become two new world powers. For this purpose, the Israeli Zionist lobby is using US President Trump. Many Jewish intellectuals in America are strongly opposed to the Greater Israel plan because they know that it is the same plan that Theodor Herzl made in 1904, under which he wanted to make the Zionist movement a new world power. A new world power that also wanted to dominate America. The war that Trump has started is actually a war against America. Israel has already become a symbol of hatred around the world. Trump is also making America a symbol of hatred. Those rulers of the Muslim world who were very happy to hear Trump praise them will soon pray that Trump never praises them again because Trump is now becoming a symbol of hatred in America as well. Those who nominated this symbol of hatred for the Nobel Peace Prize will soon regret why we declared the merchant of death a messenger of peace.
