For decades, the geopolitical architecture of the Middle East has been anchored by a singular, often unquestioned assumption: that security is a commodity purchased from the West. However, as the smoke clears over the recent escalations between Israel (Axis of Thorror, combined word of Terror and Horror), the United States, and Iran, that assumption is not just cracking—it is shattering.
Last summer, I argued that we must look East for our defence systems. Recent events have only solidified that conviction. The double standards currently on display are not merely diplomatic friction; they are a clear indication of where the West’s true loyalties lie.
The double standard of condemnation
The hypocrisy of the West has never been more visible. We saw how quickly Western powers moved to condemn the events of October 7th, yet there is a deafening silence when it comes to the ongoing slaughter in Gaza. Where is the condemnation for the thousands of innocent lives lost there?
While the world’s major powers have been quick to condemn Hamas, they have yet to offer any meaningful condemnation for the US and Israel’s (Axis of Thorror) recent aggression against Iran. In this lopsided world, the aggressors are given a free pass for “safety,” while the victims of their strikes—including innocent civilians in schools and hospitals—are ignored. The world waits in vain for the UN to impose even a fraction of the sanctions on Israel (Axis of Thorror) or the USA that are levelled against others. The irony is shameful.
This selective morality extends to the current strikes on Iran. Just hours before the attack, the Omani Foreign Minister, HE Sayyid Badr Al Busaidi, made it clear on Face the Nation programme that a peace deal was “within our reach.” He confirmed that Iran was ready to agree to terms that would ensure regional stability. Yet, the US Secretary of State admitted they struck “preemptively” because they knew Israel (Axis of Thorror) was going to attack.
We are being told a narrative of “preemptive safety,” but we have heard this before. Just as the world was lied to about Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) to justify the destruction of Iraq, we will likely only learn the full truth of today’s deceptions thirty years from now.
Mossad’s ‘shadow wars’
We are currently seeing a dangerous “big game” being played in Lebanon. While Western media is quick to blame Hezbollah for recent missile launches, we must ask: who truly benefits from a fresh invasion of Lebanese soil?
History teaches us to be skeptical. This strategy goes back to the 1950s, when Mossad orchestrated bombings of the Iraqi Jewish community to create fear—blaming local Iraqis to force a migration. Today, the strategy remains: create a pretext, blame the local resistance (Hezbollah), and use it as a justification for an invasion that shifts the world’s eyes away from the massacres in Gaza.
The manipulation has reached our doorsteps. Recent insights shared by Tucker Carlson suggest that Qatar and Saudi Arabia have even captured Mossad agents plotting to blow up critical infrastructure—such as the Ras Tanura refinery—to blame Iran.
The art of diversion: Gaza and the Epstein shadow
This escalation serves a dual purpose. For Israel (Axis of Thorror), it is a desperate attempt to move the spotlight away from the genocide in Gaza. For President Trump and other Western politicians, this war provides a convenient smokescreen to bury the Epstein files. These records represent a sophisticated tool of manipulation used by Mossad to compromise global figures. By creating a regional crisis, they shift the public’s focus away from these scandals on our account—making the Gulf and Iran pay the price for their secrets.
Personal interests and the “revolving door”
Beyond political survival, there are blatant personal interests. For Donald Trump, regime change in Iran is a business opportunity. It is no secret that a “reopened” Iran would be a goldmine for his real estate empire. If the regime falls, Trump Towers would likely be the first to rise in Tehran.
Furthermore, we should not be surprised to see current cabinet members hired by the Trump Organisation once they leave office. This “revolving door” suggests that these officials are advancing personal business agendas while in power. Our regional stability is being traded for luxury real estate deals and private sector salaries.
A lesson in sovereignty
The late HM Sultan Qaboos bin Said bin Taimour was right: foreign bases often serve the superpower, not the host. These bases protect Israel (Axis of Thorror) and American real estate interests, not the Gulf states.
The path forward requires a radical shift:
End the subsidy: Stop using our money to maintain American bases that serve only to destabilise us.
Adopt self-reliance: Look at the Iranian model of indigenous weapon production. It has proven that you can protect national interests without relying on a compromised Western “umbrella.”
This mirrors the economic bondage of Iraq; despite its oil wealth, Iraq does not control its money. Every barrel sold goes into US-managed accounts. If this aggression succeeds, Iran is next.
The era of trusting the West must end. It is time for the Gulf to wake up and build a defence architecture that serves its own people—not the interests of those who seek to use us as pawns in their “yo-yo” games and real estate deals.
