Islamabad MoU: Amidst increasing tensions with America, Iran has currently stopped all its responsibilities under the Islamabad Agreement (Islamabad MoU). This decision of Iran has also received a strong reaction from Pakistan. Pakistan’s security affairs expert and geopolitical analyst Ali K. Chishti called it a “reckless and dangerous decision.” He says that this will increase tension in the entire region and the people of Iran will suffer the most.

Iran’s full withdrawal from the Islamabad MoU is a reckless and dangerous move. Instead of honoring a Pakistan-brokered deal that offered sanctions relief, oil export waivers, and a path to de-escalation, Tehran chooses confrontation and isolation again. This is not strength,…

What reason did Iran give for withdrawing from the agreement?

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Garibabadi told Fars News Agency that America violated the Islamabad Agreement during the talks itself. In such a situation, Iran is now taking necessary steps for its security. Meanwhile, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Bakai said that Iran will abide by this agreement only when America also abides by its conditions. He clearly said that the agreement cannot be applicable to only one party.

What did the Pakistani expert say?

Pakistan’s security expert Ali K. Chishti wrote on social media that Iran’s complete withdrawal from the Islamabad Agreement is a very wrong decision. According to him, this agreement could have reduced the tension between the two countries, Iran could have got relief from sanctions, there would have been relaxation in oil exports and the path for negotiations would have remained open. He said that choosing the path of war is not a matter of strength, but a step which will increase oil prices, spread instability in the entire region and the common people of Iran will suffer the most.

Trump had already declared the agreement over

US President Donald Trump had said during the NATO summit on July 8 that the Islamabad Agreement is now over. He cited the growing dispute with Iran over the movement of ships through the Strait of Hormuz as the reason for this.

Tension increases again between America and Iran

On Saturday, the US carried out air strikes on several military bases and logistics centers in central and southern parts of Iran. These included the areas around Yazd and Ahwaz. In response, Iran launched retaliatory attacks on US military bases in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan.

60 day ceasefire also broken

In the Islamabad Agreement, it was agreed to stop the fighting for 60 days, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and start talks for a permanent solution. But now attacks between the two countries have started again. In such a situation, this agreement seems to be almost ending and the tension in the entire Middle East has once again increased rapidly.

On Monday (23 February 2026), thousands of people in Iran received a message in Persian language from an unknown number on their mobile phones, in which it was written, ‘The American President is a man of action. Wait and see. Iran International News Agency gave this information quoting government media. This development has happened at a time when US President Donald Trump has intensified his rhetoric against the Tehran regime and has made large-scale military deployment in view of possible military action in the Middle East.

President Trump has said that he is considering a military attack on Iran. However, the next talks related to the issue are to be held between the two countries on Thursday (26 February 2026) in Geneva. According to an AFP report, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told CBS on Sunday (23 February 2026) that any kind of obstruction regarding the nuclear program will not be tolerated. He also made it clear that Tehran will not bow down to American military pressure. Meanwhile, the US Embassy in Lebanon has evacuated dozens of employees as a precautionary measure in view of possible regional developments.

Iran’s warning to America

Iran has warned America that any attack will be responded to. Tehran says it is drafting a deal on its nuclear program and will soon submit the proposal to mediators. Iran claims that its nuclear program is only for civilian use, while Western countries consider it a step towards building nuclear weapons.

Internal opposition and dissatisfaction spread in Iran

Students in Iran have started fresh protests against Islamic rule. Anti-government slogans were raised in universities with the beginning of the new session. In a video viral on social media, students at a university in Tehran were seen burning the flag adopted after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The protesters raised slogans like Down with the Islamic Republic. Earlier, the protests that reached their peak in January were suppressed by security forces through violent action. According to the American human rights organization HRANA, more than 7,000 people died in these protests, although the Iranian government confirms about 3,000 deaths and blames foreign forces for the violence.

Why Iran-America become tension for the world

Amidst fears of a possible US-Iran war, many countries have advised their citizens to leave Iran. India also issued an advisory on Monday along with Sweden, Serbia, Poland and Australia advising its citizens to remain vigilant and consider leaving the country. The European Union has also appealed for a diplomatic solution before talks. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said, ‘We do not need another war in the region. This is the time to find a diplomatic solution.

Who are druze: For the last few days, it was being said that the relationship with America and Israel is improving with Syria. But in the meantime, on Wednesday, Israel, shocked, attacked Syria. These attacks were carried out on the Syrian Ministry of Defense and the Israeli army entered inside Damascus. Israel has tried to justify these attacks in the name of security of the Drain minority community.

Israel says that Syrian government forces have tortured people of Druj community in Syria. We have taken military action to answer that. Israel said, “We are committed to the security of the Druj community and will not allow any heat on them.”

5 lakhs in South Syria
The Druj community has a population of about 5 lakhs in South Syria. These people are considered an important minority community there. Israel has claimed that Jihadi forces are strengthening under the leadership of President Ahmed Al Shara in Syria and now they are targeting southern Syria.

Israel alleges that Sweda, which is a Druj -dominated city, has taken many attacks in recent times, in which many minorities were killed. On Monday, the Syrian Army also entered the area. Israel says that this attack was done only to ensure the safety of the liquor of this area.

Who is Druj? Different identity from Islam
The roots of the Druj community may have been associated with Islam, but this community considers itself different from Islam. In the 11th century, this community broke into existence by separating from the Shia Ismaili opinion. Druj is also considered a part of Abrahamic religions and he is also monotheistic, that is, believes in a God.

However, some of his beliefs are different than Islam. For example, Druj believes in rebirth and is considered to be fatalist. Their language is Arabic and they originally belong to the Arab community.

Homogeneous
The Druj community is mainly spread to Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Jordan. Apart from this, they also have small settlements abroad. There are about 5 lakh drums in Syria and Golan Heights alone. A large part of them is also inhabited in Israel, and that is why the Jewish community feels close to them. One of the big reasons for this is that Druj does not believe in Islamic beliefs and religiously appears close to the Jewish society.

In Druj religion, neither conversion is allowed nor inter -religious marriage. This is why it acts like a closed religious society. He has also participated in the Israeli army and he plays an active role in protecting there. However, in the eyes of Islamic extremists, they are always on target and often become victims of violence.
