“People usually look at the ‘Greater Israel’ project from the perspective of geographic expansion—through building settlements on Palestinian land, and through Israel’s current efforts to expand its borders in Lebanon and Syria. But the core of the issue is about total control over the region—not only geographically, but also through expanding the dominance of its hard power. It seeks to create a situation in which it is surrounded by states that are either collapsed or in a state of chaos and heading toward division and fragmentation, such that they cannot pose any obstacle to Israel’s hard power. This is a geopolitical strategy for Israel. What Israel wants from dragging the US into war with Iran is not merely the dream of regime change in Iran; rather, it seeks the comprehensive collapse of the regime and the state. Someone might say that what Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states are facing is an unfortunate and unintended byproduct of such a war. That is completely wrong—it is calculated in advance and intentional by Israel, because part of the objective is to weaken the Gulf states and to show America as incapable of defending them, thereby pushing them to align with Israel’s project, which seeks to become not only a dominant regional power but also a global one, as Netanyahu has explicitly stated”.

The dual American / “Israeli” aggression against Iran constitutes the most prominent event on the global stage this century. It may even surpass the Ukrainian event in terms of the significance of its final outcomes—especially considering that both events are two stages within a single, integrated process whose essence is the end of the old international balance, the decline of American hegemony, and the birth of a new world whose emerging features are rapidly taking shape before our eyes.

Today, Sunday, March 22, marks the 23rd day of the “Israeli”/American war against Iran, which began as a blitzkrieg aimed at destroying Iran and its regime, ultimately leading to the fragmentation of Iran as part of the “Greater Israel project”. It has since turned into a war of attrition, quicksand, and a dangerous quagmire in which the aggressor powers—and with them the entire global economy—are sinking.

Kassioun’s last editorial pointed to the necessity of dealing with the accumulated and emerging conditions that define the current Syrian situation—domestically, regionally, and internationally—through urgent and emergency measures. This comes as various crises intensify and risk erupting, amid an ongoing war whose end is unclear. What is clear, however, is that its consequences will be significant for the world, the region, and implicitly our country, regardless of the outcomes or the timeframe in which it ends.

Both “Israel” and the US began a new round of aggression against Iran on Saturday, 28 February 2026, about eight months after the end of the first round of aggression, which has come to be known as the “12-Day War”. As was the case the first time, the aggression was launched amid ongoing negotiations—indeed, just one day after the Omani mediator announced that significant progress had been made—once again making clear that neither the American nor the “Israeli” side can ever be trusted, and that nothing can be expected from them but destruction and chaos.

The well-known objective law continues to operate: War is the iron lung through which capitalism breathes, and the deeper its crises become, the more it expands the scope of war. In today’s world, after the Western center lost the vast majority of real production processes and retains the dollar financial center and dominance of international institutions due to the inertia of the past, war has become its sole and most important tool. The entirety of the Western center has become an iron lung of war, with nothing left to offer the planet but wars, destruction, and sanctions.

On Friday, June 13, 2025, and with blatant American complicity, “Israel” launched an unprecedented, large-scale aggression against Iran, despite ongoing negotiations on the Iranian nuclear file. Numerous countries around the world and in our region condemned this aggression, most notably the clear and justified condemnations issued by Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt, along with condemnations from all Arab countries.

On Tuesday, April 18, the Autonomous Administration in North and East Syria (AANES) published a document entitled “An initiative to solve the Syrian crisis”. Those who issued the document called on the various Syrian forces to consider it.

On Friday, March 10, a historic agreement was announced between Saudi Arabia and Iran, including resumption of diplomatic relations between the two neighboring countries after an interruption that lasted more than seven years (since January 2016). This agreement was reached through Chinese mediation at the highest levels. The two sides expressed gratitude to Chinese President Xi Jingping personally for his efforts to achieve a settlement between the two countries.

The People’s Will Party (PWP) welcome the important Agreement announced today between Saudi Arabia and Iran, sponsored by the People’s Republic of China. PWP believes that it is a good beginning for resolving a number of regional crises, including the Syrian crisis.
