THE WHITE MEN’S BURDEN

America’s cycle of enmity with Iran has continued for over half a century, solely to maintain control over oil resources. The current religious government of Iran does not accept this. Therefore, Donald Trump, just like in Venezuela, wants to seize control through military strength. He refers to this as “regime change” and is carrying it out under the name OPERATION EPIC FURY. In response, Iran has given it a name like OPERATION TRUE PROMISE IV. On February 28, 2026, at approximately 7:00 AM Iranian time (1:15 AM ET), America and Israel together started a war against Iran by launching large-scale airstrikes.

The first oil reserve in Iran was found on May 26, 1908, in Masjed-e-Soleyman in the Khuzestan province of the Persian Gulf. This discovery of the first major oil field in the Middle East was made by British engineer George Reynolds. Because of this, the Anglo-Persian Oil Company was established in 1909. The then-ruler of Persia, Mozaffar ad-Din Shah of the Qajar dynasty, had sold the oil exploration rights to a wealthy Englishman, William Knox D’Arcy. This made the British government alert because, within five years, oil was going to be very useful as the most important fuel for World War I. This discovery started a struggle for control over Iran’s oil reserves in a battle of geopolitical implications, which shows no signs of stopping even today. Organized resistance against this began in 1951 when Mohammad Mossadegh, the most popular leader with socialist leanings, was the Prime Minister. During that time, he nationalized the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (BP). This step was taken to end British and Western control so that Iran could have full control over the oil industry. Although the British had discovered oil using their advanced industrial technology, they were extracting 90% of the oil, throwing only a 10% share to Iran. Therefore, a conspiracy to overthrow Mohammad Mossadegh was carried out in 1953 through the collusion of America’s CIA and Britain’s MI6, naming it Operation Ajax. From here began the cycle of coups in Iran by America, Britain, and Western countries to seize oil resources. After removing the democratically elected government of Mossadegh 73 years ago at the peak of its popularity, they placed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi on the throne to act on their instructions and continued to exploit mineral oil until 1979. This is why the Islamic Revolution took place in Iran under the leadership of AYATOLLAH RUHOLLAH KHOMEINI. In that revolution, the primary goal was the birth of intense hatred against America and its Western followers. For this reason, the American Embassy in Tehran was closed on November 4, 1979. This event happened when Iranian students took over the embassy. After holding 52 American diplomats hostage for 444 days, America ended diplomatic relations with Iran in 1980. Today, 46 years have passed since that event, but America still does not have diplomatic relations with Iran. The American Embassy in Tehran is preserved as a museum under the name “Spy Den.” I personally had the opportunity to visit it in mid-December 2010 during the first Asian Caravan sent to free Gaza from the ongoing Israeli siege.

Great Britain, France, Germany, the Dutch, the Portuguese, America, and from the 20th century, the Soviet Union—and now the new “big brother” countries, America and China—are playing the role of imperialist bullies. Since the so-called revolutions occurred in all their neighboring countries, they have continuously kept up the cycle of taking control of various nations. The freshest examples are Venezuela, the Chinese occupation of Tibet 78 years ago, the American example in Vietnam in the seventies, and examples in Latin American countries. Now it is Nepal, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. In Iran, too, America is supporting Israel in this war only for a government that will work as its agent for American interests. An imperialist takeover by America regarding the entire Islamic world is clearly visible. Therefore, by establishing military bases in many countries around the world and keeping those countries under its awe, it has attacked Iran under the guise of its nuclear program—just as it occupied Iraq 23 years ago using the false excuse of chemical weapons. And look at their hypocrisy: while committing all these crimes, they are fighting the war in the name of human rights, democracy, and justice. They even claim to liberate the people there, just as in Venezuela and now for the last two weeks in Iran, where Donald Trump has been continuously claiming regime change. The whole world appears to be a silent spectator. On the contrary, just like the live broadcast of a cricket or football match, the trend of broadcasting war has been going on since the 2003 Iraq war. I see the disappearance of human sensitivities in this. Why is no one able to gather the courage to criticize Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump? In this context, I am reminded of Mahatma Gandhi’s open letter to Hitler during the Second World War. He wrote the first letter on July 23, 1939, just a few weeks before the war started, requesting Hitler in the name of humanity to avoid the war. He wrote the second letter on December 24, 1940, in which he warned Hitler that “someone else, using your own violent methods but being more violent than you, can work to defeat you in the war.” This exact point applies to Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump today. Just like Hitler, Donald Trump and Netanyahu have become very proud that they can rule the whole world.

Today, it has been one year and two months since Donald Trump took charge as President for the second time. In this period, from kidnapping the President of Venezuela and his wife from their home in the dark of night to insisting on the handover of Greenland, not following the Paris Declaration, and washing his hands of the World Health Organization—after the International Criminal Court declared Netanyahu a war criminal, Netanyahu goes to meet Trump. Instead of saying anything to him, Trump announces action against the people of the International Criminal Court. The most surprising thing is the Gaza Strip, which Netanyahu has ruined and where he has put millions to death; Trump is telling the remaining people of that same Gaza Strip, “All of you empty the Gaza Strip and go to Egypt and Jordan, and I will build the world’s best sea resort there.” He is taking actions in America from banning protests regarding Palestine to stopping funding for universities that hold protests. After that, sidelining the UNO and following the destruction of Gaza, he has intimidated other countries into becoming members of a so-called international “Board of Peace,” declaring himself its lifelong chairman. The membership fee is set at one billion dollars. In place of so-called peace, he suddenly started a war on Iran on the last day of February, February 28, during Ramadan at 7:00 AM. What is Trump made of? Such an insensitive man is now sitting in the position of the President of America. These are visible signs of becoming a new dictator of the twenty-first century in world history. I cannot digest the endurance of the American people. Netanyahu put more than one hundred thousand people to death in Gaza. This has had no effect on Trump. On the contrary, he is unhesitatingly telling the remaining people to vacate the Gaza Strip and announcing the creation of a “Riviera” in that place. This is the fruit of two hundred years of progress of the poison tree of the world’s oldest democracy, whose name is Donald Trump. Now, for more than the last twelve days, he and Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu have together attacked Iran. On the very first day of the attack, after killing Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and his family members, more than a thousand people in Iran have died so far. This includes the deaths of more than 165 female students of an Iranian school. Donald Trump says repeatedly, “I am not going to stop the war without achieving regime change in Iran.” The people of America have sent Donald Trump as the President of only America for the second time, but Trump is under the misunderstanding that he has become the President of the whole world. Because after the inauguration ceremony on January 20, 2025, he started a tariff war. When the Supreme Court of America recently declared it illegal, this man, while abusing the court, suddenly launched an attack on Iran and is repeatedly chanting “regime change, regime change.” If another country said, “We want regime change in America,” how would that feel?

Until 12 years ago, India was a nation leading the neutral nations of the Third World. While being such a nation, Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi on one hand claims to be the “Vishwaguru” (World Teacher), yet currently, while being the Chairman of BRICS, how is he getting caught in the trap of America and Israel? There are signs of India moving away from its role as a neutral nation, held continuously for 75 years, toward the Israeli and American camps. Seeing the inhuman conspiracy by Mossad and its master Israel for the last 78 years to end Palestinian existence and seeing it against the Muslim community, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, India’s premier organization, was first attracted toward them. Therefore, Narendra Modi, due to the values of his parent organization Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, worked to repeat the Hindutva definition of “Motherland and Fatherland” in the Israeli Parliament on February 26, 2026. Despite Benjamin Netanyahu being declared a war criminal by the International Criminal Court, what could be Narendra Modi’s compulsion that he suddenly went to the Israeli Parliament on February 26—the 60th death anniversary of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar—and spoke about racial theory (Motherland and Fatherland) using unscientific points from Savarkar’s book titled “Hindutva”? And in that same Israel, the Jewish author Yuval Noah Harari’s books have been published in Hebrew and English, in which he himself, despite being born in the Jewish religion, has written one book titled ‘Sapiens’ and second ‘Homo sapiens’ after another based on scientific Anthropological and historical facts of the creation of the human race. Most surprisingly, within 48 hours of Narendra Modi’s return from Israel, Israel and America together started attacks on Iran on February 28. Would Benjamin Netanyahu not have taken our Prime Minister into confidence and told him this? Because in the war started after the return from Israel, 165 innocent girls die, but no reaction was given by our Prime Minister. On the contrary, in response, he expressed grief over the death of 7-8 people in the UAE in an Iranian attack. Why is Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi observing a “vow of silence” regarding the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei along with his family members? Is it enough to just send the Foreign Secretary to the Iranian Embassy five days later to express a few lines of condolence ? Our relations with Iran are more than three thousand years old. From the Kashmir problem to the oil crisis, Iran, which provided oil in Indian currency, handed over the construction of the Chabahar Port to India. But even after being forced to stay out due to the pressure of American sanctions, is our country’s business not being run with the help and advice of Israeli agencies—mainly the spying through Pegasus by Israel’s most dangerous agency, Mossad? Although the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh family was formed on the inspiration of Hitler and Mussolini and the lines of their SS and Balilla organizations, since 1948, despite being surrounded by Islamic countries and having a Jewish population of less than ten million, Israel is proving heavy for everyone to deal with, especially with American help. Is help being given to that same Israel because of hatred against Muslims? But Narendra Modi is perhaps forgetting the most important thing: India has the second-largest population of Muslims in the world. No matter how much “Gujarat” you do, how many of the 30-40 crore population of Indian Muslims can you kick out after NRC and SIR? And even if you do, which country is sitting ready to take them?

When the Italian, German, and Russian dictators were carrying out all these acts, and the media of that time also glorified them to mislead the people, those papers are still available today. And the number of documents exposing their deeds is greater than those. Today, are they known specifically as heroes or villains? This same logic applies to everyone from Donald Trump to Narendra Modi. In what form they will be known in the coming time is still in their hands.

Lastly, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar said: “One who does not learn from the mistakes made in history is never forgiven in the present, and most importantly, in the future.”
