Since the inception of Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, America and its allies including Israel have been recurrently busy in attempts to destroy it. But in every single instance, they have failed. America first tried to pick up its natives taken hostage in Iran after the exit of Shah who was being continuously supported by America; but American planes hit one another as soon as they entered Iranian space and all other planes returned empty handed.
Then they instigated Saddam Hussein to invade Iran; and within first week, the news was floating that Iraqi forces will enter Tehran within next few days. But Ayatollah Khomeini appeared on TV and called upon Iranians to join the fight. The people thronged to join army and soon the direction of war reversed. When the Iraqi forces, which were being actively supported by America, were pushed and the Iranian forces entered Iraq, the demand for cessation of hostilities was raised. Khomeini stopped it only when he thought it right.
Then America and Israel, along with European friends, first changed Iraqi regime and then started campaigning against Assad Regime of Syria, the ultimate aim was again to defeat Iranian Islamic Revolution. But America had to leave Iraq as well as Afghanistan. Despite continuous hostilities, including the efforts to instigate internal revolts, Iran has continuously grown in strength in every respect.
It was in continuation of the same plan that Israel attacked Iran. Israel’s failure to defeat Palestinian movement made it think that if its ultimate plan of Greater Israel is to be achieved, it has no option but to defeat Iran. American President again played all the tricks since his re-election to make it possible for Israel to attack Iran on the ground of destroying Iran’s “Nuclear” ambitions.
Nuclear America has killed hundreds of millions of people all over the world in last one hundred years. Undeclared nuclear Israel has killed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and Arabs in last 70 years. But still, they are “Peace loving”. And Iran, which has never attacked any other country in more than hundred years, is a “threat” to world peace.
But this time again, after the first day attacks, which caused substantial losses in Iran, the scene reversed. And now, Israel is facing threat to its very existence. Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv and Haifa, are now looking like Ghaza (Gaza). Iran’s revolution is again in action; and it appears that this time, too, the Revolution will emerge triumphant.
The west hates Iran because they feel that the success of Iran has been highly favourable for the rise of Islamic ideology in the world, which they feel as the biggest threat to their market driven system, the so-called New World Order, which has proved to be nothing but barbarism at its worst. This has caused destruction of human lives in numerous ways: wars, civil wars and evils like alcohol, drugs, abortions, unhealthy sexual practices, and creation of a legal system, which has been a huge failure in controlling all forms of crimes including murders and rapes.

Reports of the rise of Islam throughout the world, including their own countries, are giving them sleepless nights. While they still claim that Christianity is the largest religion, the truth is that if the percentage of “Christians” not believing in the fundamental tenets of Christianity is taken into account, Islam is already the biggest religion of the world. And according to most researches, Islam is sure to become the biggest religion in the next three decades.
Moreover, this is not just because of higher fertility among Muslims but also because of rapidly rising conversion rates from other religions to Islam. So, America and its allies think that if Iran’s Islamic revolution is defeated and a puppet Government is installed there, the popularity of Islam can suffer. And if Israel becomes strong, geographically sitting in the midst of the Muslim countries, it can become an arm for them to keep hitting Muslims. Time will tell that their ambitious plans will ultimately fail, even if they achieve some intermittent short-time successes.
