وَمَنْ يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ ۗ وَتَرَى الظَّالِمِينَ لَمَّا رَأَوُا الْعَذَابَ يَقُولُونَ هَلْ إِلَىٰ مَرَدٍّ مِنْ سَبِيلٍ
And he whom Allah sends astray - for him there is no protector beyond Him. And you will see the wrongdoers, when they see the punishment, saying, "Is there for return [to the former world] any way?"

President @realDonaldTrump not only has lost control of the war, it’s his biggest blunder which has put the entire world at risk.
America might win the war because of military prowess but a biggest strategical failure which will haunt USA for years.
Trump keep mistaking Iran for a state.
It is not just a state.
It is a civilization with nerves of steel and memory older than their empires.
US have had hit Iran twice within last six months without any provocation from Iran.
Did US forgotten Vietnam 🇻🇳?
Operation Rolling Thunder.
From 1965 to 1968, the United States conducted a sustained bombing campaign against North Vietnam.
The goal was to break the will of the North Vietnamese government and people.
To make the cost of continuing the war too high to bear.
They dropped 864,000 tons of bombs.
The will was not broken.
So they escalated.
Operation Linebacker.
Operation Linebacker II, the Christmas Bombings of 1972: twelve days of around-the-clock bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong, described by some U.S. generals as trying to "bomb them back to the Stone Age."
Hospitals were hit.
Residential areas were hit.
Bạch Mai Hospital, the largest hospital in North Vietnam, was hit repeatedly.
After the Christmas Bombings, the North Vietnamese negotiating position at the Paris Peace talks did not weaken.
It strengthened.
Every bomb that fell on a hospital, every family killed in their home, every village erased from the map created ten more people who would die before they accepted foreign domination.
This is what American strategists, with all their degrees and all their think tanks and all their war games, failed to understand about the people they were trying to break.
You cannot bomb dignity out of people who have decided they would rather die than give it up.
Iran is one such example. You can bomb them to dust but they won’t surrender. That’s a strength of a civilisation.
