For days now, I have been watching a strange narrative spreading across Western media and social networks: the claim that the confrontation with the Iranian regime is somehow “Israel’s war” and that the United States was dragged into it.

As a Moroccan Muslim and an Arab who has spent years studying the politics of our region, I can say clearly: this argument is not only false—it is intellectually dishonest. - Mustapha Ezzarghani

Let us start with a simple fact. 

• The Islamic Republic of Iran has not spent the last four decades declaring war only on Israel. 
• Its leaders openly speak of fighting the “Great Satan” — the United States — and the “Little Satan” — Israel. 
• For 47 years, their ideology has been built around exporting revolution, destabilizing the Middle East, and spreading militant networks across the region.

This is not an Israeli fantasy. 
It is Iran’s own declared doctrine...
