"Iran Must Destroy Israel to Survive or It Will Be Nuked" | Paul Craig Roberts

The real issue in this conflict is the Zionist agenda of "Greater Israel." Nobody in the Western media mentions it, but it is the central fact that explains the war. As long as Israel maintains that agenda, there can be no peace, no mediation, and no negotiated settlement. The nuclear issue is merely the pretext. The real objective is to remove Iran as an obstacle to Greater Israel—just as Iraq, Libya, and Syria were removed before it. This war is part of the same process.
 

» There is no room for Iran, no room for Turkey, no room for Saudi Arabia.

Either Iran prevails, or Iran is destroyed. There is no middle ground. «

 

The Zionist agenda historically envisioned Israel stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates. Now the concept has been expanded even further. In such a vision there is no room for Iran, no room for Turkey, no room for Saudi Arabia. If that agenda is pursued, the continued existence of Iran as a sovereign state becomes incompatible with it. That means Iran cannot negotiate its survival. How does a country negotiate its own disappearance? If Israel maintains the Greater Israel agenda, there is only one outcome: either Iran prevails, or Iran is destroyed. There is no middle ground.
 

» Iran cannot negotiate its survival. «
March 16, 2026: Iran's 57th barrage of Khorramshahr and Zolfaghar missiles with cluster warheads strikes Israel, overwhelming

Iron Dome, Patriot, and THAAD. With about 2,500 missiles and layered tactics, Tehran could sustain attacks for months.

Yet the Iranian leadership has repeatedly made the same fatal mistake. They wait to be attacked. They waited to be attacked once. They waited to be attacked again. And now they risk waiting until nuclear weapons are used. This is not how wars are won. Every successful general in history understands that victory belongs to the side that takes the initiative. Napoleon understood it. Robert E. Lee understood it. George Patton understood it. Iran does not.

» Waiting to suffer catastrophic destruction before acting makes no sense. «

March 16, 2026: US-Israeli missiles bombing Tehran.

 

Iran waits until it is hit, until it loses men, facilities, and cities, and only then responds. That is not strategy. That is paralysis. If Iran has the capability to respond after a nuclear attack, then it certainly has the capability to respond before one. Waiting to suffer catastrophic destruction before acting makes no sense. The strategic reality is simple: Israel has nuclear weapons. Iran does not. That alone places Iran at a severe disadvantage if it continues to leave the initiative in Israeli and American hands. Therefore Iran faces a stark choice. Either it destroys the military capacity threatening it, or eventually those forces destroy Iran. There is no diplomatic solution to a war whose real purpose is the elimination of your country.

» Russia and China are useless as allies. «
March 16, 2026: Yan Xuetong, Chinese political scientist, confronts Israeli general at a conference, accusing
Israel of killing 70,000+ Palestinian children; the general denies, citing efforts to avoid civilian casualties.

At the same time, Iran finds itself essentially alone. Russia and China talk about multipolarity, they talk about cooperation, they talk about organizations like the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), and Iran is even a member of that organization. Yet when a SCO member is fighting for its survival, Russia and China stand aside. They issue statements. They talk about trade. They talk about negotiations. But when it comes to confronting the United States and Israel directly, they disappear. This demonstrates that Russia and China are useless as allies. They are governed by leaderships that appear to have no strategic vision. They behave as if trade deals are more important than geopolitical survival. They think in terms of commerce while their partners face existential threats.

» Russia, China are not Iran's friends. Russia is an occupied
country. PUTIN is a traitor in bed with the Chabad Lubavitch. «

A few words from Moscow and Beijing—such as a mutual defense commitment—could have prevented this war from ever starting. But those words were never spoken. Instead, Iran stands alone while Russia and China pursue negotiations and trade arrangements with the very power that is trying to destroy Iran. That means Iran cannot rely on anyone else for its survival. It cannot rely on Russia. It cannot rely on China. It cannot rely on international institutions. It can only rely on itself.

» Waiting for the next attack—especially when the enemy possesses nuclear
 weapons—is not a strategy for survival. It is a strategy for extinction. « 

March 16, 2026: Israeli white phosphorus munitions exploding over Khiam in southern

Lebanon. Its use against civilians is prohibited under international humanitarian law.

Which brings the situation back to the fundamental reality: the existence of Iran is incompatible with the Greater Israel agenda. As long as that agenda exists, Iran will remain a target. Therefore Iran has only two possibilities. Either Iran destroys the forces threatening it, or those forces destroy Iran. There is no negotiation that resolves this contradiction. There is no mediation that reconciles it.

Iran must recognize that it is fighting for its life. It cannot continue to sit back, absorb blows, and respond after the fact. That approach only invites escalation to nuclear weapons. If nuclear weapons are used, the conflict will not remain regional. Once that threshold is crossed, the danger becomes global nuclear war. That is why the initiative matters. Waiting for the next attack—especially when the enemy possesses nuclear weapons—is not a strategy for survival. It is a strategy for extinction.

The Fate of the Great and the Little Satans, and a New Eurasian World Order

Suddenly, the world is watching something it has not seen in decades: a direct challenge to the military architecture that has dominated West Asia since the end of the Cold War. The question now is not only who will win this war. The real question is something far bigger: What if this war has just exposed the real power structure of the world?

» Wise people who know Iran, its people, and its history never speak to this nation

in the language of threats, because Iranians are not those who surrender. «

Imam-e Shahid Seyyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei (April 19, 1939–February 28, 2026).

 

Most people living through history never realize when they are standing at a real turning point. They believe they are witnessing just another headline. But the war against Iran is the moment that reveals the limits of Western dominance. It forces us to ask whether the international order can survive in a world that lost faith in its legitimacy.

 

Empires do not collapse in one loud moment. They erode. They decay slowly beneath the surface until, suddenly, a crisis pulls away the curtains and reveals the truth. History works this way. The fall of great powers rarely announces itself clearly. Instead, it hides behind words like "limited strike," "defensive war," or "regional conflict." Sometimes a war becomes a revelation, and the war launched by U$raHell against Iran since February 28, 2026, may prove to be exactly that moment.

» From Gaza to Minab, innocents murdered in cold blood. «

This is not simply another "Middle East conflict," but the moment when the global power structure began to crack. For more than thirty years, the world has lived under a single unspoken rule: Western military power guarantees global order. From Washington to London, from Brussels to Tel Aviv, the message was repeated again and again. U$raHell was unstoppable. Its fleets controlled the oceans, its bases surrounded the planet, and its dollar ruled the global economy. But history teaches a lesson: empires do not collapse when they run out of weapons; they collapse when the world stops believing in their legitimacy.

 

» No. We are waiting for them. We are ready for this war. «

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's reply when asked by 

NBC News on March 5, 2026, whether he feared a U$raHell ground invasion.

The Iranians have been planning for this war ever since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. They knew that, at some point, U$raHell would go after them, and their message to all the Arab Zionist lackeys in West Asia was brutally simple: if your territory hosts U$raHell bases, you are part of the battlefield. Neutrality is an illusion. Now, all these bases in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Kuwait, and Cyprus have been reduced to rubble, and for all practical purposes Iran will need to take control of Bahrain, while Ansar Allah (the Houthis) will bring down the Saudi family dictatorship.

 

So far, the Iranian drones and missiles in use are old and inexpensive, yet U$raHell is deploying scarce and costly air defense systems, rapidly depleting its stockpiles in an attempt to stop them. The Iranians know exactly what they are doing. They have barely begun to employ their hypersonic missile arsenal, and most of Iran's underground bases remain inactive. This is an asymmetric war of attrition, and ultimately Iran—with the support of the Axis of Resistance, China, and Russia—will defeat both the Great and the Little Satan, liberating West Asia from the Anglo‑Zionist neocolonial yoke.

 

» Terror, corruption, and hypocrisy are united against us | The world has made itself ready for another world war | We hear the shouts of the world-eating Zionist Jews from the throat of the Saudi King | Takfiris, Wahhabis, and Daesh ISIS have joined together | All at the hands of the Great Satan USA | For as long as the divine spirit is in the heart of this soil our enemies will not be allowed to sleep a single night | Soon everywhere will hear the name of Hussein. | The legacy of Khomeini will become international | The arrogant have been disturbed from their long comfort | What has delayed the global Islamic Awakening? | Imam Khomeini said: Jerusalem is ours! | When you threaten us with war, our response is not weak yet | Our answer to you is on the tip of a blade | The concept of surrender is gone from our minds | In Syria, Iraq, Yemen we are ready for war. Our missiles will rain down on our enemies | Our Sejjil Missiles will drop in the heart of Tel Aviv | The voice of Haydar will roar from the Kaaba | The era of oppression will end. «

» The people of Khomeini and Soleimani will never submit to the Jews | Iran—the whip of justice, a symbol of honor, the noblest path and purpose, the sword of Haydar. And God is with Iran | ... Your army, your people, your lineage, your path—even if we face the whole world. « 

Ansar Allah battle cry of solidarity, March 4, 2026.

 

God is great. Death to America. Death to Israel. 

Curse on the Jews. Victory to Islam.

 

We have news that a Western-linked fuel tanker is burning in the Strait of Hormuz after being hit by Iranian Revolutionary Guard drones. For decades, Western strategists believed their fleets controlled it, but geography has always favored the Islamic Republic of Iran. Iran does not need to occupy the strait; it only needs to threaten it. In an energy-dependent world, even the possibility of disruption shakes the global economy.

  

» Neutrality is an illusion. «

 

Military force can win battles, but it cannot manufacture legitimacy. Now the global system itself is changing. The world is no longer unipolar. China has become the largest manufacturing and trading power on Earth, and Russia has survived military and economic warfare while continuing to fight in Ukraine against the collective West. This war will give birth to a new Eurasian world order. But this is not about geopolitics only; it is civilizational.

 

» A civilization is not a collection of objects, but a synthesis of ideas and a movement of the soul. «

Malek Bennabi, The Conditions of Renaissance, 1960.

The Algerian thinker Malek Bennabi concluded that civilizations do not collapse when they lose material power; they collapse when they lose the moral idea that justifies that power. A colonial empire can possess air forces, fleets, satellites and nukes, but once its legitimacy erodes, its power is no longer leadership but simply coercion and perversion.

God is One, and the world’s prayers, hearts, and minds are with those who suffer under oppression—with the people of Iran, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, Sudan, Cuba, Venezuela, and every nation struggling for dignity. The collapse of the Great and the Little Satans is inevitable; their global colonial empire and their decadent, predatory civilization of the Antichrist are facing their final judgment. May their doom be swift, may justice prevail, and may God protect the faithful and grant them victory. Divine grace to Iran.

"Russia Will Nuke Germany & UK if Ukraine War Persists" | Sergey Karaganov

"We are fighting Europe once again—the continent that has consistently been the source of all ills and evil in the history of humanity, including, of course, world wars, racism, and colonialism." Sergey Karaganov’s perspective on Europe and its relationship with Russia is defined by his belief in the urgent necessity of a definitive civilizational break from the West.

 

 » The source of all ills and evil in the history of humanity. «

 Zelensky, Starmer, Macron, and Merz coordinating their seizure of Russian assets, December 8, 2025.

He views the current conflict between the US-EU-NATO and Russia in Ukraine as a historical repetition, noting that "Europe has been several times invading us" and that "last time was in 1941–1945 when Western European countries came here under the banners of Hitler [Operation Barbarossa]." Karaganov asserts that "unbelievably after all their defeats they haven't learned the lesson" and "they are still pushing for a big war."
 

He warns that Europe’s "strategic parasitism" and "loss of the fear of God and nuclear war" make them "dangerous idiots that are pumping up hatred towards Russia like mad. Even in Hitler's Germany, the level of anti-Russian propaganda was maybe weaker than what is happening in Europe now." He argues that "they do not understand anything but physical pain," suggesting that Russia will be forced to "punish them severely" with "waves of nuclear strikes" should they continue fueling the war in Ukraine and threatening to directly attack Russia.

 

How far are we from Russia using nuclear weapons against Europe? "Two years, maybe one year. I've been calling on my government to escalate earlier. But President Putin is very religious and cautious." Karaganov specifies that "my choice would be Britain and Germany" and "Germany should be nuked first because it is the source of the worst in European history."

  

» Germany should be nuked first because it is the worst. «

Sergey Karaganov, January 14, 2026.

 

"I beg the Almighty that won't happen. I have a lot of friends in Europe, but I have no contact with them because they are banned by their elites from talking to us. These elites are preparing them for war, though they cannot comprehend that if a real big war is unleashed, there will be nobody in Europe left to talk to. I pray that we won’t have to make this decision."

 

Regarding the decline of European elites, Karaganov argues that under its current leadership, Europe "became anti-European and even anti-human." He characterizes these leaders as "complete failures on all counts—moral, political, economic," and bluntly asserts that "Europe is going down." He further contends that "never in the history of Europe have we had such a low level of intellectual capacities in the leadership of most European countries," noting that while this applies to "not all but almost" every nation, the overall decline is undeniable.

» Micron keeps peddling this pathetic bullshit. This is what you’ll get. «

Dmitry Medvedev, January 10, 2025.

 

European elites "understand that their Golden Age is finished and they are desperate," primarily because they realized "they cannot live on others' money nor on the cushion of US protection any longer." Ultimately, he suggests that "everybody in the world now laughs at Europe," observing that a continent which "used to be one of the core centers of world power" has now been reduced to "a joke."

 

On the relationship between Russia and Europe, Karaganov believes "our European journey which Peter the Great started is over" and "it should have been over 150 years ago." He expresses a sense of liberation from Western influence, saying, "we are not European, thanks God" and "we are returning back to where we belong—to become the Eurasian nation... We have done away with "comprador" elites and thrown away the "fifth column." We are returning to our Russian soul. The only problem is that we have to pay for it with the lives of our best men. But other than that, Western sanctions have been a blessing. Russia, when threatened, is again a nation of warriors."

The West's Dystopia: War, Fragmentation, and Perversity | Emmanuel Todd

Trump’s perversity is unfolding in the Middle East, NATO’s warmongering in Europe. [...] Such is our world as we approach 2026. The dislocation of the West takes the form of a ‘hierarchical fracture’.

» One of the fundamental concepts of the West’s defeat is nihilism.  «

The United States is giving up control of Russia and, I increasingly believe, of China. Blockaded by China for its imports of samarium, a rare earth element essential to military aeronautics, the United States can no longer dream of confronting China militarily. The rest of the world – India, Brazil, the Arab world, Africa – is taking advantage of this and slipping away. But the United States is turning vigorously against its European and East Asian ‘allies’ in a final effort at overexploitation and, it must be admitted, out of sheer spite. To escape their humiliation, to hide their weakness from the world and from themselves, they are punishing Europe. The Empire is devouring itself. This is the meaning of the tariffs and forced investments imposed by Trump on Europeans, who have become colonial subjects in a shrinking empire rather than partners. The era of liberal democracies standing in solidarity is over.

 

[...] Cutting the European continent in half economically was an act of suicidal madness. [...] The rage resulting from defeat is leading each country to turn against those weaker than itself in order to vent its resentment. The United States is turning against Europe and Japan. France is reactivating its conflict with Algeria, its former colony. There is no doubt that Germany, which, from Scholz to Merz, has agreed to obey the United States, will turn its humiliation against its weaker European partners. My own country, France, seems to me to be the most threatened.
 

[...] One of the interesting features of America today is that its leaders are finding it increasingly difficult to distinguish between internal and external issues, despite MAGA’s attempt to stop immigration from the south with a wall. The army fires on boats leaving Venezuela, bombs Iran, enters the centres of Democratic cities in the United States, and sponsors the Israeli air force for an attack on Qatar, where there is a huge American base. Any science fiction reader will recognise in this disturbing list the beginnings of a descent into dystopia, that is, a negative world where power, fragmentation, hierarchy, violence, poverty and perversity intermingle.

 

So let us remain ourselves, outside America. Let us retain our perception of the inside and the outside, our sense of proportion, our contact with reality, our conception of what is right and beautiful. Let us not allow ourselves to be dragged into a headlong rush to war by our own European leaders, those privileged individuals lost in history, desperate at having been defeated, terrified at the idea of one day being judged by their peoples. And above all, above all, let us continue to reflect on the meaning of things.

Hybrid Warfare & Strategic Stalemate in China–US Competition | Jin Canrong

Structurally speaking, China–US relations are certainly not good. The logic is quite simple: the world is changing significantly, and China is the variable, while the US is the leader of the original order. Naturally, the US is not pleased. [...] Whether it's Biden or Trump, both consider China their only opponent. This is very critical. America’s power is still greater than ours.

Jin Canrong (金灿荣), leading scholar of China-US relations, American politics, and foreign policy;

CCP strategist; Professor and Associate Dean, School of International Studies, Renmin University of China.

[...] China–US relations entered full competition in late 2017, when the US began to wage a hybrid war against China. It is called a hybrid war because multiple tactics are employed: trade war; industrial war (denying chips and pushing Chinese companies to relocate industries); financial war (aggressive interest rate hikes to extract Chinese capital); legal battles; media campaigns (such as accusations of genocide in Xinjiang); and biological warfare allegations, including SARS and COVID-19 claims.

» Siding with the EU to split the West. «
The China-US Competition, Jin Canrong, August 19, 2025.

[...] There are also sovereignty issues concerning Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the East and South China Seas, as well as opposition to China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) through new alliances, like AUKUS (US, UK, Australia) and the Quad (US, India, Australia, Japan).

[...] The first phase involved US offensives and China’s strategic defense; now, we have entered a strategic stalemate. The key to strategic alignment is domestic management. The US faces high debt, declining manufacturing, and internal challenges, while China confronts economic performance issues, social conflicts, and a rapidly falling birth rate. Addressing domestic challenges strengthens both nations’ positions abroad.

[...] The US strategy toward China involves territorial ambitions (Canada, Greenland, Panama Canal), aligning Russia, reorganizing allies (Europe, Japan, Canada), and increasing defense spending to ensure allies can act independently. China, meanwhile, has abandoned its low-profile policy, focusing on active defense and strategic deterrence.

[...] Since last year, China’s defense policy has changed. China has moved from passive strategy to assertive action. Strategic stalemate depends on addressing domestic issues first, then external threats. For external alignment, China should coordinate with the EU to balance the West, manage neighboring relations, and continue Belt and Road and BRICS initiatives. This roughly represents the current positions of both parties.

SCO Summit Ushers in New Global Security Order and Development Strategy

The Tianjin SCO Summit (August 31–September 1, 2025) brought together leaders from more than 20 nations and delegations from over 30 countries, representing half of humanity. Founded in 2001 from the “Shanghai Five” bloc, the SCO has since evolved into a platform of global significance, no longer limited to Eurasian security but increasingly positioned as a central force in world affairs.

Eurasia’s great powers align.

 

The summit adopted the "Tianjin Declaration" and updated the "SCO Development Strategy to 2035", mapping out collective approaches to global security, economic stability, technology gaps, and humanitarian issues. Around 20 agreements were signed covering regional security, economic cooperation, and cultural ties—showing the SCO’s increasingly comprehensive agenda.

The most striking diplomatic development was the warming of "China–India relations". Xi Jinping and Narendra Modi affirmed that their countries should act as partners, not rivals—“the dragon and the elephant dancing together.” China also declared readiness to cooperate with Belarus, strengthening its support for Russia. Azerbaijan’s potential membership was floated, adding complexity to regional dynamics.

SCO Meeting Shocks West: Multipolar Cooperation Destroys Transatlantic Hegemony.

Pascal Lottaz, September 1, 2025. 

Unlike Western alliances, the SCO emphasizes "non-interference, equality, and mutual respect", principles that resonate strongly with the Global South. Many members are also part of BRICS, reinforcing the alignment of emerging economies seeking independence from Western dominance. The summit thus showcased an alternative model of governance appealing to nations dissatisfied with US-led structures.

The presence of leaders from Mongolia, Turkey, Egypt, and Indonesia underscored the SCO’s expanding gravitational pull. Ceremonies marking the 80th anniversary of the victory over Japan reminded participants of the historical depth of Russia–China ties and their shared resistance to Western hegemony. Symbolic gestures, such as Putin and Modi walking hand in hand, highlighted the summit’s theatrical but strategic diplomacy.

Yang Sheng says the policies pushed China and India to set aside differences. 

 

The summit signaled the "rise of a multipolar world order". By uniting Asia’s largest powers and fostering ties across the Global South, the SCO has moved closer to becoming a true counterweight to Western institutions. 

 

The West relegated to the rank of frustrated spectator.

Together with BRICS, it now represents a complementary pole of power. If China and India consolidate cooperation, analysts see the potential for a profound realignment of global governance away from Western dominance.
