Iran stumbles while trying to claim victory for Islam in American withdrawal from Afghanistan
American Thinker ^ | Sep , 2 , 2021 | Cyrus Yaghobi

With the withdrawal of the US troops from Afghanistan, the Iranian regime -- feeling ‎comfortable on the country's eastern borders -- tried to portray it as the victory of Islam ‎over the United States. By continuing its relationship with the Taliban and calling the ‎Taliban part of the resistance front and sending them their requested fuel, it tried to ‎maintain its influence in Afghanistan.

‎ The Taliban ignored many of their doctrinal differences with the Iranian regime because ‎they needed the regime's financial and logistical support. But now that this common ‎enemy no longer exists, we must wait for the hidden differences to be exposed. Of ‎course, this is something that will be more apparent in future. Because the Taliban's ‎relationship with the Iranian regime was based on common interests and common ‎enemies -- as long as the US forces were in Afghanistan.‎

As the new developments in Afghanistan took place, a regional conference chaired by ‎Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi was taking place on the western border of Iran, ‎Iraq. The conference was attended by King Abdullah II of Jordan, Egyptian President Abdel ‎Fattah Al-Sisi, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed Al-‎Maktoum the prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt ‎Çavuşoğlu, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud, Secretary-General of the ‎Organization of the Islamic The conference, Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation ‎Council and Secretary General of the Arab League. ‎

Well, maybe the vast majority of the Iranian people want regime change, but I don’t think they have a hope in heck of getting it. They tried once and Obama didn’t support them, and Biden (Obama catspaw) sure wouldn’t support them now.

The main reason that Israel has survived is that the Muslims hate each other the most. And far more than they hate the USA. It won’t be long until the Taliban and Iran are at each others’ throats.

The abject shambling scramble of the Joe Stolen/”Que mala” Harris regime out of Afghanistan probably surprised the Iranians about as much as anybody. They had not realized that it would have been that easy, and curse themselves for not moving more quickly to extract additional benefits for themselves from the regime.

There is still time, ayatollahs of Iran. The same oligarchy that has been propping up Joe Stolen all the time is still in place, and ready to make a deal, any day you ask.

Sorry but only a fool would take satisfaction in Iran stumbling trying to celebrate the American defeat in Afghanistan. Look at the big picture. What was the purpose of the hostage taking in 1979 and the 9/11 terror attack. It was the intent of the Islamic jihadists to knock America off its lofty pedestal, transform it, weaken it in its purpose and certainty and make it amenable to Islam. Well look what has happened. Islam has now established itself within America to the point where American media ,its leaders and a good percentage of its citizens will not utter a word of real criticism or analysis. Less than eight years after 9/11, America elected Barack Hussein Obama who demonstrated his affinity to Islam with his policies. Many Americans themselves have shown manifestations of the Stockholm stndrome and have at a real level have come to identify with their attackers. Muslim migrations into America have skyrocketed over the last twenty years without any consideration of the very real cultural changes and transformations that accompany the phenomena.

Very much Iran is suffering much from its stumble. The jihadists have to be smiling broadly.

The Taliban are seeking to get beneficial engagement with the Mullahs in Tehran, this time.

In there last episode of controlling Afghanistan the Taliban discriminated against, harassed, persecuted and suppressed the Shi ethnic minority group known as the Hazara. The Hazara are sizeable, making up about 25% of the Afghan population.

This time, even before the U.S. withdrawal the Taliban leaders were courting and even recruiting Hazara leaders into their political fold. It is expected the Taliban will this time not only not persecute the Hazara but will allow them a lot of leeway, much to the agreement of the Mullahs of Tehran.

I’m not so sure of that. Since both parties are the spawn of satan, satan can manipulate them to his uses. There is coming an invasion force to attack Israel which will unite ‘the kings of the East’ with the various Scythian gaggles (the Magog people).
