The Middle East is once again on the boil. The internal situation in Iran is deteriorating, millions of people are standing on the streets against the government and America has openly warned. If the situation takes the form of war and Iran is attacked, then the question will not only be about war, but it will also be decided on which side the Muslim world will stand. Will Iran be left alone or will it get support? Let us understand which way the wind will blow in Muslim countries during the war?

What is the background of Iran crisis?

Iran has been facing international sanctions for a long time. The sanctions imposed by America, United Nations and many European countries have deeply hurt its economy. Inflation is at its peak, the value of the Iranian Rial is continuously falling and the life of common people is becoming difficult. This economic pressure has given rise to large-scale protests in the last two weeks.

Initially these demonstrations were against inflation and unemployment, but gradually this movement turned into an open challenge against the power and leadership of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In the last 18 days, there have been reports of deaths of more than 2000 people due to violence, clashes and repression.

America’s threat and fear of war

Amidst this situation, US President Donald Trump gave a statement that very strong options are being considered regarding Iran. After this the discussion intensified that America and Israel could together attack Iran. This fear has worried the entire Middle East. The biggest question before the Muslim countries is that if there is a war, with whom will they stand or will they maintain silence.

Will Muslim countries unite?

Experts believe that the Muslim world will not reach any single decision. Just as many countries did not come forward openly during the Gaza conflict, similarly in the Iran-America conflict, most countries can choose the path of balance and neutrality. Every country has its own economic interests, security concerns and international relationships, which will determine its stance.

What will be Qatar’s stance?

Qatar is an important military partner of America in the Middle East. Al Udeed Air Base located here is considered to be America’s largest and strategic military base, where more than 10 thousand American soldiers, modern fighter jets and drones are deployed.

However, experts believe that if America and Israel attack Iran, Qatar will avoid jumping into the war directly. It is possible that he may set limits on the use of his military base and try to show himself neutral. Qatar’s priority will be to avoid regional war and maintain diplomatic balance.

Why would Iraq keep its distance?

The situation in Iraq is very sensitive. Years of American military presence and recent air strikes have increased resentment towards America there. Many political and religious groups within Iraq are considered close to Iran.

In such a situation, America cannot expect open support from Iraq against Iran. Baghdad would like to stay away from any conflict that could once again lead the country towards instability.

Turkey’s double helplessness

Turkey’s foreign policy has long been critical of American and Israeli interference. Ankara has openly opposed Israel on the issue of Palestine. Therefore, if Israel attacks Iran alone, Turkey can give statements in support of Iran at the political and diplomatic level.

But the other side of the picture is that Turkey is a member of NATO and has deep military ties with America. If America enters the war directly, Turkey will probably keep itself away from the conflict and try to play the role of mediator.

What is Pakistan’s stance?

Pakistan’s foreign policy has generally been based on balance and diplomacy. It is already struggling with economic crisis, security challenges and internal pressures. In such a situation, Pakistan will be saved from getting involved in any new international war.

Although Pakistan talks about solidarity with Muslim countries, it does not mean military support. In the conflict between Iran and America, Pakistan can possibly appeal for peace and dialogue at the United Nations and international forums.

UAE’s compulsion and interests

The attitude of the United Arab Emirates i.e. UAE can be very cautious. Dubai has long been a major trading hub for Iran and billions of dollars of trade takes place between the two countries. This economic relationship prevents UAE from taking an open front against Iran.
On the other hand, at the security level, UAE is a close ally of America and Saudi Arabia. In such a situation, if there is a war, the UAE will avoid jumping into the fight directly, but can provide limited logistics or intelligence support.

Kuwait’s traditional neutrality

Kuwait has always been known for maintaining balance in regional conflicts. It has social and cultural ties with Iran, especially because of its Shia population. Although Kuwait is also a strategic ally of America and Saudi Arabia, it can avoid openly supporting any one party. Kuwait will try to play the role of mediator and appeal to reduce tension.

Saudi Arabia’s complex situation

Saudi Arabia has long considered Iran its biggest regional rival. The Houthi rebels in Yemen and the fight for influence in the Gulf region show the conflict between the two countries.
Nevertheless, in recent years there has been improvement in Iran-Saudi relations. For this reason, if there is a war, Saudi Arabia can avoid direct military confrontation. Despite being close to America, he may hesitate to openly support any side.

Oman’s intermediary role

Oman is considered the most balanced and peace-loving country in the Gulf region. It has played the role of mediator between Iran and Western countries in the past. Oman’s back-channel diplomacy was also important in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. If there is a war, Oman will neither allow its military bases to be used nor will it take sides. His role will be limited to peace and dialogue.

Why will Egypt remain cautious?

Egypt is a long-standing strategic partner of America and receives significant military assistance. At the same time, its relations with Iran are neither very close nor completely hostile. Egypt’s priority is the security of Gaza, the Sinai Peninsula and the Suez Canal. In such a situation, he will maintain distance from any major war and appeal for restraint.

Jordan’s concern

Jordan is a small but strategically important country. It has limited relations with Iran, while its relations with America and Western countries are strong. In the event of conflict, Jordan will focus on the security of its airspace and borders, but will avoid direct military involvement.

Amidst the increasing protests in Iran and strict warnings from the government, the tension in relations between America and Iran seems to be reaching its peak once again. Meanwhile, quoting the report of Wall Street Journal, it is being claimed that America is considering attacking Iran. The report says that the Trump administration is considering options for a large-scale airstrike on Iran’s military targets. However, no single strategy has been agreed upon yet. American officials have clarified that at present there has been no military deployment or movement of weapons. This plan is being prepared only for possible situations.

According to US officials, making such strategic plans is a normal part of the national security process. This does not mean that America will attack Iran soon. On the other hand, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has indicated to adopt a tough stance against the ongoing protests in the country. Iran’s Attorney General Mohammad Movahedi Azad has warned that people involved in the demonstrations will be considered enemies of Allah, under which there is a provision of even death penalty. According to Iranian state media, the same charges could be imposed on those who help the protesters. Prosecutors have been instructed to prosecute cases expeditiously without any leniency and ensure strict action.

Trump supported the protesters

US President Donald Trump, while giving a statement in support of Iranian protesters on social media, said that Iran is perhaps closer to freedom than ever before. He wrote that America is ready to help the Iranian people. Apart from this, the US State Department also issued a strong message saying that President Trump’s warnings should not be taken lightly. The statement said that when Trump says something, he has both the ability and the intention to implement it.

Amid the ongoing struggle in the Middle East, Israel launched a big air attack on Syrian capital Damascus. The Syrian Ministry of Defense was targeted in this attack. Syrian army units active in South Syria were also attacked. Local people heard the sound of loud blasts and saw the smoke.

On the matter, the Defense Minister of Israel said that if the Syrian Army does not stop attacks on the Drej community, we will destroy them. Let us know that there are severe clashes between the Drej fighters and the Syrian army in the city of Suwayda in South South. Hundreds of people have been killed so far. The Drej leader alleges that the government’s army is brutally killing the people. The Syrian government claims that violence is happening due to criminal gangs, but international reports are looking at it with suspicion.

Drew community: Who are these people?
The Drej community is a special minority group that is of Arab origin, but does not believe in Islam or Judaism. He lived in Egypt in the 11th century. There is a mixture of Hindu, Buddhist and other beliefs in his religion. There are about 7 lakh drozers from the community in Syria. Their number in Israel is about 1.5 lakhs. Lebanon, Jordan also has a large number of people from the Drej community. There are about 29,000 druzes in the Golan Heights. Israeli drains citizens also serve in the Israeli army.

America strongly condemned violence
American Special Envoy Tom Barrack said that we strongly condemn the violence against citizens in Sweda. All sides should retreat and join meaningful conversations. The US has clarified that the safety of citizens and minorities should be ensured. Crisis should be held accountable. The ceasefire should be implemented soon.

Meeting will be held in UNSC
After the Israeli attack on Syria, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) will hold a meeting on Thursday (17 July 2025) for an emergency session on Israeli attacks on Syria. According to the report of the Anadolu news agency, the meeting has been requested by the United Nations Mission of Syria. This has been supported by the current UNSC member Algeria. According to Reuters, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Dannon has called for UNSC to condemn the Syrian government to condemn the barbaric crimes committed against innocent civilians on Syrian soil. He further said that Israel will continue to take strong action against any terrorist threat anywhere and at any time on its borders.

Iran israel conflict: The tension between Iran and Israel is constantly on boil, but now a report of the Washington Post has revealed the planning behind this confrontation. According to the report, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided to attack Iran before meeting US President Donald Trump in April. The attack was not part of the strategy made months ago, not based on any sudden intelligence information.

Preparations for the attack on Iran were already running
In October 2024, the Israeli Air Force and intelligence agencies demolished Iran’s aerial security system and Hizbullah was also severely damaged. Israeli agencies formulated a hit list of Iranian nuclear scientists and military officers, making it clear that the attack was just waiting for the time. By March 2025, Israel had reached the conclusion whether America would have to attack Iran by June.

Netanyahu’s order- “Eliminate scientists”
On Israeli TV, Netanyahu said in clear terms, “We will target scientists and finish them.” Mossad had monitored Iranian scientists for years. Drone and missile launchers were sent to Iran under a secret operation, killing at least 10 senior scientists. Also, Iran’s nuclear and missile programs were deeply damaged. The attack was not an immediate reaction, but the implementation of the decision taken months ago, which was finalized only two weeks ago.

America’s opposition and Trump’s separate opinion
Although Israeli intelligence agencies suspected that Iranian scientists were re -working on nuclear weapons, the American intelligence community believed that Tehran had not given any such order. Despite this, Donald Trump dismissed these assaults, saying that Iran is “very close” to acquiring atomic bombs.

Former Israeli intelligence officer Danny Citrinovich criticized the decision, saying, “We should have given a chance to the diplomatic path as well. The operation has given us military success, but its strategic risk is very heavy.”

Netanyahu’s only goal for 30 years
Netanyahu has been considering Iran’s nuclear program as a threat to Israel’s security for the last three decades. One of his advisors even said that “Most of the scientists we were watching are now in hell.”

Iran Israel Ceasefire Violation: Despite the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran due to American mediation, the situation seems to be deteriorating again. The Israeli Army Chief (Chief of Staff) issued a statement on Tuesday, saying that Iran has severely violated the ceasefire, which Israel will not tolerate. He clarified that in response to this violation, Israel will soon “respond to forcefully”.

Israeli Defense Minister ordered the attack
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced on Tuesday that he ordered the army to be military attacks, as Iran had fired missiles on Israel in violation of the recently announced ceasefire. The statement came when US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Iran and Israel a few hours earlier. Israeli defense establishments are looking at this attack as a serious provocation and now are preparing to answer it.

Iran said- allegation of ceasefire violation is false
On the other hand, Iran’s Isna student news agency has rejected these allegations. He said that after the implementation of the ceasefire, there has been no missile attack on Israel from Iran. Iran has described these reports as “false and misleading” and called it the strategy of Israel’s provocation. Now the tension in the Middle East has once again reached the peak amidst the contradictory claims of the two countries.

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council warns
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) has warned that the country’s armed forces are fully prepared to give a decisive answer to any new aggressive action. The council also claimed that Iran has decisively defeated Israel with the adverse efforts of its armed forces. This statement has come at a time when stress is still intact despite the recent ceasefire in the region.

Iran israel conflict: A suspected Israeli drone attack took place on Monday at the main gate of Tehran’s notorious Evin Jail. The CCTV footage broadcast by Iranian media clearly saw the drone strike, making a direct target on this prison. This is the same prison where political disgruntled, foreign nationals and people of western countries are imprisoned for years. Iran has been using these prisoners many times for diplomatic bargaining. The attack occurred during the day when the voices of loud blasts started echoing in the capital of Iran.

Israel confessed to military operation, not taken responsibility for the avin attack
The Israeli army has not officially claimed responsibility for the attack on Evin Jail, but has definitely admitted that it has run a “series of air strikes” at several military locations in Tehran. Reports of French news agency AFP have confirmed that several blasts were heard in Tehran on Monday afternoon.

Iran started “Operation True Promise 3”
In response to this attack, Iran launched a new missile and drone attacks called “Operation True Promise 3”, targeting the major Israeli cities, Haifa and Tel Aviv. There have also been reports of explosions from Jerusalem, although no major damage has been confirmed so far.

Evin jail is under IRGC control
Evin Jail is run by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which is directly under the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. This prison is already facing sanctions from the US and European Union due to human rights violations.

Iran’s warning to America, “Now our hands are open”
Iranian General Abdul Rahim Moudervi warned America that the recent attacks on Iran’s nuclear bases have now given the Iranian armies “open hand” – they are now free to retaliate against the interests of America. Amidst this warning, the apprehension has increased that this struggle may soon be transformed into widespread war.

Iran threat to us: The increasing tension between Iran and America has now taken serious form. On Monday, Iran’s military central command issued a sharp warning directly to target US President Donald Trump. In a video message, the Iranian spokesperson addressed Trump in English, saying, “Mr. Trump, Gamble … You can start this war, but we will finish it.” The statement came at a time when the US has carried out air strikes on three major nuclear bases of Iran and claimed that it has completely ruined Tehran’s nuclear program.

Iran’s warning: Now America also became a legitimate target
The Iranian army termed America’s action as open aggression and said that now the military hideouts of America have also become a valid goals for the Iranian armed forces. Iran has indicated that it will soon take such a retaliation, the results of which will be very serious for America. Iran also said that this war will no longer be limited to only one country, but its scope has completely changed.

America’s nuclear attack increased concern
On Sunday morning, the US launched accurate airstrikes on three nuclear centers in Iran in Fordo, Natanj and Isfahan. US President Donald Trump announced that these sites “have been completely terminated”. Soon after this attack, tension in the area increased further. Security experts believe that due to these attacks, the entire West Asia is now in a deep crisis.

Experts warning and monitoring IAEA
Former Indian diplomat and strategic analyst Rajiv Dogra described this action of America as irresponsible. He feared that the possibility of radiation leak could not be ruled out due to these attacks, which could threaten the border countries and people. Dogra said that attacks on nuclear bases are a violation of international regulations and this could have a profound impact on the global nuclear security system. Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on X that no area has increased the radiation level in any area, but the investigation is on.

DPRK Condemns US Attack on Iran: North Korea (DPRK) has strongly condemned the military attack on Iran by the US. North Korea described it as a serious violation of the United Nations Charter, whose main principle is to respect the sovereignty of a country and not interfere in its internal affairs. The statement issued by the DPRK said that the attack is against international law, regional integrity and the security interests of any independent country.

Question on international law and UN charter
North Korea said that opposing the danger or force using the regional integrity of a country and the use of force is the basic feeling and purpose of the United Nations Charter, which is also considered by the entire international fraternity. Targeting President Donald Trump, North Korea said that America is making Israel a land grabbing. He is encouraging the regional expansion of Israel.

Warning of increasing stress in Middle East
The statement also said that the Middle East situation is shaking the foundation of global peace and safety at this time and the reason for Israel is to carry forward its unilateral interests through constant wars and land expansion. The idea behind this is the thinking of western countries, which exempted and promoted such actions.

Israel and America targeted
North Korea alleged that the US and Israel have used force to “maintain peace” and “eliminate danger”, which has further increased tension in the region and had a serious impact on the whole world’s security system.

Appeal of solidarity from global community
At the end of the statement, North Korea appealed to the international community to unite and condemn these hostile actions of America and Israel.

Iran Foreign Minister to Meet Putin: After the US attacks on three major nuclear bases by the US, the geopolitical equations in West Asia seem to change rapidly. Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is leaving for Moscow on Sunday afternoon to meet Russia President Vladimir Putin. Araghchi will meet Russia President Vladimir Putin tomorrow amid growing tension in the Middle East. Araghchi gave this information a few hours after the US attacks on three major nuclear bases of Iran, causing a direct military entry of America in the Iran-Israel struggle.

Serious consultation with Russian President Putin
Araghchi said, “Russia is a friend of Iran, we always consult each other.” He further said, “I am going to Moscow this afternoon and will hold serious talks with the Russian President tomorrow morning.” He made this statement in a press conference organized in ICBul on the occasion of OIC (Islamic Cooperation Organization) Summit.

Speculation about Araghchi and Putin’s meeting intensified
There is speculation about this meeting that Iran can now support Russia in political and military strategy against America, especially when Russia has already expressed unhappiness about Israel’s recent actions. It is also important that Russia’s President Putin is considered opposed to US President Donald Trump and in such a situation, Putin and Khamenei’s proximity can become a new diplomatic challenge for America.

Araghchi said- “No longer left the path of diplomacy”
Araghchi made a big statement after the US attack on Iran’s nuclear bases. Talking to reporters in Istanbul, Araghchi said that “The situation is not such that diplomacy should be talked about.” He also said that the path of conversation should always be open, but there is no such option at the moment. After America’s aggressive action, Iran is now looking at it as a direct attack, which has increased regional tension further.
