Israel and the United States will almost certainly attack Iran once again.
This will mark the final chapter of this war.
Through this attack, Trump and Netanyahu will fully carry out the threats they have made over the past few months—specifically, they will destroy Iran’s energy and oil infrastructure.
This is intended to inflict massive economic and social damage on the country, leaving millions of Iranians without electricity and rendering Iran unable to export oil.
Following this, Trump will declare victory and withdraw from the Strait of Hormuz—a presence that is currently causing him enormous financial losses.
Russia and China will, of course, reconstruct the Iranian infrastructure in record time, despite Trump’s claims that it would take ten years. It took China 20 years to build up the entire nation, lift 800 million people out of extreme poverty, and increase its GDP from $1 trillion to $16 trillion; Iran’s energy infrastructure will be sorted out in a maximum of 2 years.
In the meantime, Iran will stockpile vast quantities of weapons and ammunition, while making significant advancements in military equipment, communications, and logistics.
Within a maximum of five years, the country will have become such a formidable military power that the Gulf states and other Israel-aligned states will have no choice but to cooperate.
The noose around Israel will tighten significantly.
Indonesian former Minster of Trade, Muhammad Lutfi, challenged our Singapore Ministers to prosecute the companies.
We will. Even though one must wonder at the audacity of passing the buck to Singapore.
Don’t forget the holding companies might be in Singapore , but the operating subsidiaries are in Indonesia.
And the fires are happening IN INDONESIA.
Even though the chance of Singapore stopping the fires by prosecuting the holding companies are low, we will proceed , not least because some punishment is needed.
But this misses the main point Lutfi is actually making.
Besides passing the buck to Singapore , he is sore that many Indonesian companies have chosen to list in Singapore instead of Indonesia.
Sore that most of the wealthy Indonesia (including many of his friends) choose to live in Singapore instead of Jakarta.
He is sore that Indonesian conglomerates choose to book their profits in Singapore instead of Indonesia.
He posted another video blaming Singapore (Min Grace Fu was shown) for Indonesia’s stock market collapse in the last few days. He even insinuates that it is Singapore (GIC) that pushed for Indonesia to be downgraded by the MSCI to standalone market status.
Ridiculous assertions of a sore loser.
As usual, Indonesia officials use Singapore as the bogeyman , whenever something bad happens. When their incompetence causes haze to Singapore and Malaysia, they turn the narrative on us instead.
We will not be bullied.
If Singapore and Malaysia were afraid , we would have surrendered during Konfrontasi.
We did not surrender then.
We will not surrender now.
12 years ago, former Kuwaiti MP Nasser al-Duwaila spoke about the role of Gulf money in suppressing Arab populations:
Nasser al-Duwaila:
“The blood that was shed in Egypt was shed with our support (the Gulf states), our incitement, our money, and our blessing.
You (the Gulf states) spilled the blood of people who were praying
The supplications of the innocent will surely find an answer from Allah. And you, Gulf states, killed innocent people (referring to the killing of protesters who supported the democratically elected government). You slaughtered innocent people in this manner!.”
Interviewer: “But the Gulf states fear the Muslim Brotherhood.”
Nasser al-Duwaila:
“May Allah never grant the Gulf states security if this is how they seek to achieve it.
The Muslim Brotherhood has existed for 80 years. It has never slaughtered anyone or carried out a coup. It came to power through the ballot box in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Morocco.
All the killing has come from your side
I am not a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. 4 months ago, I was sitting here in this very studio criticizing the Muslim Brotherhood and cursing them. But you kill Muslims and expect me to stand with you (the Gulf regimes)?!
No, by Allah, we stand against you, and what you are doing is haram”
Interviewer: “Neither Saudi Arabia nor the UAE killed innocents in Egypt.”
Nasser al-Duwaila:
“20 minutes later, a Saudi statement came out supporting the coup! 20 minutes!!! How did you even know there was a coup in such a short time?! This was a conspiracy.
What happened in Egypt was a coup. Tanks in the streets. A bloody coup against a constitution approved by the people in a referendum, against a parliament elected by the people, and against a president elected by the people.”
Interviewer: “What is the reason for the dispute between the UAE and Saudi Arabia on one side and Qatar on the other? Is it because Qatar opposed the coup?”
Nasser al-Duwaila:
“No. The reason for the Saudi-Emirati dispute with Qatar is that Qatar allowed Al Jazeera to broadcast what was happening in Egypt. And according to their reasoning, this would lead to the failure of the coup.”
العثور على شابة باكستانية معلقة على شجرة قرب سوق الأحد في إسلام أباد، اتضح لاحقاً أنها انتحرت بسبب عملية نصب ضخمة.
الشابة التي تُدعى "لايبة إعجاز" 21 عام، كانت تحلم بمواصلة دراسة الماجستير في الولايات المتحدة، ومساعدة والدها الذي يعاني من حالة مادية صعبة بسبب عمله البسيط كبائع حليب متجول وتريد الشهادة من أجل العمل والراتب العالي لدعم الأسرة.
لايبة خريجة بكالوريوس قسم الفيزياء من الجامعة الإسلامية الدولية وحائزة على الميدالية الذهبية.
اتصلت لايبة باستشاري هجرة من أجل البحث عن قبول في جامعة هارفارد فطلب منها 7 ملايين روبية باكستانية (نحو 95,000 ريال) وذلك لتأمين القبول والمنحة.
والدها الذي تعيش معه في شقة مستأجرة، اضطر لبيع قطعة أرض بمبلغ 2.1 مليون روبية ورهنت أمها مجوهراتها في البنك لتغطية المبلغ المتبقي.
دفعت لايبة كامل المبالغ لاستشاري الهجرة الذي سلمها الأوراق المختومة وكانت سعيدة للغاية بتحقيق حلمها، لكن عندما راسلت الجامعة من أجل القبول والسفر، تبين أن الوثائق مزيفة بالكامل.
لايبة أرسلت رسالة أخيرة إلى خالها قالت فيها:
لا تخبر أبي بالاحتيال الذي وقع عليّ، إن علم فسيموت.
غادرت لايبة المنزل لكنها لم تعد وبعد البحث عنها وجدوها منتحرة على جذع شجرة.
