News - Middle East: Palestinian writer and researcher Saleh Abu Azza described the Zionist regime as merely a tool executing the will of the United States, asserting that the recent Israeli aggression against Iran was primarily carried out to serve American interests and strategic objectives.

He emphasized that US President criminal Donald Trump engaged in deliberate deception, leading Tehran to believe that negotiations and diplomacy were Washington’s true intentions, particularly regarding the nuclear agreement.

Abu Azza explained that this was all part of a broader strategy of deceit orchestrated by criminals Trump and Netanyahu to pave the way for a preemptive military strike on Tehran. He affirmed that both the US and Israel are full partners in the aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

He dismissed US attempts to distance itself from the aggression as a blatant and transparent lie. He pointed out that American weapons and defense systems are stationed both in the occupied territories and in neighboring Arab countries, underscoring the depth of US-Zionist military cooperation in the assault on Iran.

Abu Azza noted that the US has been forced to reconsider its position, especially after Iran managed to take three critical steps in response: first, successfully absorbing the initial preemptive strike; second, quickly mobilizing vacant leadership positions following the martyrdom of military and security commanders, as ordered by Sayyed Khamenei; and third, launching retaliatory strikes deep inside the Zionist entity as part of an escalating deterrence strategy that aims to impose a cost on Israel for its aggression.

Israeli strikes targeted several residential areas in the Iranian capital, as well as locations in the northwestern city of Tabriz, the western cities of Khorramabad, Kermanshah, and Boroujerd, and the central city of Natanz.

The Israeli military said it used 200 fighter jets in its terrorist attack, dropping more than 330 various munitions and striking over 100 targets across Iran.

The regime’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes would take “many days”.

Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Chief Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami, Commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters Major General Gholam Ali Rashid, and six nuclear scientists were martyred in the Israeli aggression.
