Greetings, friends. On one hand, there is talk in America about Donald Trump's abuses with young girls, according to the Epstein files. On the other hand, the attacks by America and Israel against Iran continue. And on the third hand, which I particularly want to mention today, are countries like Pakistan. Where our religious Mujahideen, such as Fazlur Rehman, Mufti Numani, Allama Tahir Ashrafi of Jamaat-e-Islami, and many other Allamas, feel that they are currently sitting in some cave, unaware of what is happening with Iran and the Palestinians.
So, first of all, the latest news is that Israeli and American forces have been continuously targeting Iranian targets. Today, on the fourth day, March 3rd, this series of attacks continued, and even Iranian state broadcasters were targeted. According to Iranian sources, the number of casualties or martyrs has reached approximately 787, close to 800. Air strikes are ongoing, and the UN's atomic monitoring agency, the IAEA, has confirmed that the internal buildings of Iran's Natanz fuel enrichment plant were also attacked today. However, since the central part of the plant was already damaged in attacks in June 2025, the new actions are not showing any radioactive effects.
On the other hand, Iran has also continued its series of retaliatory missile and drone attacks, with reports of targeting other countries in the region and American bases. Israel and America's stance is that this operation could continue for several weeks, and the possibility of ground military intervention currently appears low.
This entire situation has perhaps dashed Donald Trump's policies and expectations, as he believed that after three or four days of attacks, the Iranian government would collapse, and a new leadership would emerge. However, despite the martyrdom of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and many others, Iran remains standing, and the resistance continues. Along with Israel, other countries in the Middle East where American bases were located have also been targeted.
During this time, it appears that various parties have carried out false flag operations. In Saudi Arabia, two Mossad agents were reportedly apprehended, according to an American Uber driver named Cal Sem Tacker, who were preparing for attacks on various facilities. This is exactly like the attack on Aramco, and then the attack on the LNG terminal in Qatar, with the intention of showing that Iran had fundamentally targeted all these civilian facilities. However, Iran has officially announced that it has not attacked oil or energy facilities in any country.
And now, look at Donald Trump's press conference a day or two ago, his face when talking to the media – it was so downcast, as if he had been severely scolded or was extremely disappointed, indicating that his expectations of Iran's defeat had not been met. In this entire situation, Donald Trump even stated in a White House briefing that he believes the current war could last for four to five weeks, or possibly longer. This has sent a shockwave across the world, affecting stock markets and oil prices, as experts believe Trump's statement has increased investor fears of a prolonged war, which could disrupt energy supplies and increase inflation.
As you know, after the Iranian drone attack, Qatar halted production at Ras Laffan, the world's largest LNG export facility. This is the first time in three decades that this facility or plant has been shut down. Saudi officials say that two drones targeted the American embassy in Riyadh last night, causing a limited fire and minor damage. Significant damage occurred in the United Arab Emirates, where the Ministry of Defense claims that 186 missiles were fired from Iran, and 172 were destroyed, with 13 falling into the sea. One missile landed in the UAE, and around 812 drones approached the UAE, of which 755 were intercepted. The target was the Fujairah region, which is not only a port but also the terminal point of the Fujairah pipeline, serving as a vital alternative route for the UAE to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. It now appears that Iran has also attacked it.
However, with all these attacks, the question arises whether the Strait of Hormuz will be affected, and to what extent oil passing through the Strait of Hormuz could be impacted by an attack solely on Fujairah. Approximately four to 6.5 billion barrels of oil pass through the Strait of Hormuz daily. Furthermore, Fujairah was the central pillar of the assumption that oil could be easily extracted from the Strait of Hormuz. The other option for oil export, besides Fujairah, is Saudi Aramco's east-west oil pipeline. Although it appears to have been attacked, Iran has denied this.
In this entire situation, what has been the result? The Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, which is the third-largest bank in the UAE by assets, has experienced a technical disruption. It is reported that there has been a technical disruption, affecting its mobile banking app and call center services. Customers have been informed via a notice to exercise patience. Unconfirmed reports also suggest that there have been problems withdrawing money from banks in the UAE, as the government is trying to prevent a rush of people withdrawing money as a protective measure against potential government actions. However, it appears that the banking system has also been affected by the nature of these attacks.
Oil prices have also increased, reaching $85 per barrel. European shares and major stock markets in Asia have also declined. In light of this entire situation, I thought it would be important to also look at Pakistan. On one hand, Donald Trump's attempt, perhaps, was to distance himself from the Epstein files, where his name was repeatedly mentioned. Although his name was removed from many files and blacked out, news continues to emerge. Republican Jamie Raskin stated in an interview that Donald Trump's name is everywhere in the Epstein files, and he has committed abuses with girls aged 11, 16, and 17, and there is a reference to Donald Trump abusing a nine-year-old child as well, calling it an act of extreme injustice and a horrific story. Another Republican, Congressman Dan Newhouse, said that the Epstein files are full of allegations of Donald Trump's abuses with young girls. Similarly, another Republican, Jamie Raskin, referring to the secret Epstein files, reiterated on another occasion that it is a horrific and barbaric story, and a very fitting case for criminal investigation and prosecution against Donald Trump.
In a way, this was a deflection tactic to initiate a war. But it is also clear that plans for war were in place long ago. One can gauge this from the fact that Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, a proponent of war, has now stated that Cuba is next in South America. You know what happened with Mexico and Venezuela. The President of Venezuela was abducted and imprisoned in America. Now, Lindsey Graham has said that Cuba is next, and President Donald Trump, after attacking Iran, is looking at Cuba as the next target. He said this communist regime will end soon, and its days are numbered.
See how slowly this is being discussed. With the same slowness, Marco Rubio made a statement in a press conference when asked why they attacked Iran. He said, "We waited for the attack to come first before we hit them. We would have suffered much casualties. The President's decision was going to be an easy action. We waited for the attack against American forces." He claimed that they thought if Iran was attacked, it would retaliate against them, so they attacked first. What a flimsy argument from the American Secretary of State! They feared that if someone attacked Iran, Iran would retaliate against them. Earlier, they were saying they negotiated with Iran to eliminate its nuclear weapons, negotiations failed, and therefore they attacked. Similarly, Mark Hex, the US Secretary of Defense, stated that Trump, Donald Trump, is determined that a radical government like Iran, which he described as a radical government associated with the misguided concepts of Prophet Muhammad, will not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons. This is a very frightening insult to Islam, to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), implying that those who adhere to his ideas will not be spared, according to Peter Hex. Essentially, he has declared war against Islam.
Considering this entire situation, I was wondering where our Fazlur Rehman, Hafiz Numani, Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi are. They are quick to hold protests and demonstrations in favor of the Palestinians and Kashmiris, and condemn Israel and India. Those who wanted to hoist flags on the Red Fort, those who were intent on annihilating Hindus and Jews, those who held protests and strikes in favor of the Palestinians. You might recall that Turkey was also very active in supporting Hamas and Hezbollah and initiated convoys of ships carrying aid to the Palestinians from Istanbul. But I don't know where these prominent leaders have gone, perhaps into seclusion. And perhaps for them, standing up for the oppressed and raising their voices is not permissible at this time.
You can imagine that based on assumptions, the way America has initiated attacks against Iran, these people have remained completely silent. In this regard, another important matter was the incidents that occurred in Karachi, Islamabad, and Lahore, where about two dozen people were martyred. It is unclear what the exact reality is, whether nine people died or 20-25, but it was confirmed that many people were martyred by the firing of American Marines, especially in Karachi. I was also looking at a tweet, and a proud Marine expressed his arrogance in his tweet, saying that the attack on Karachi by the Mujahideen today has taught them a lesson, and it is our principle that anyone who attacks us will not escape. Therefore, when you consider approaching an American consulate or embassy, you should consider that we reserve the right to defend ourselves.
There is much to say, but one thing is certain: many of the attacks on various facilities in 111 countries to defame Iran include many false flag operations. That is, attacks carried out by someone else but attributed to Iran. False flag operations have also occurred in Pakistan, such as the attack on the Marriott Hotel and the GHQ. That is, they were carried out by someone but attributed to someone else. This is what is happening with Iran. In the current situation, everyone will believe that this missile or drone came from Iran. And naturally, in war, many things are considered permissible, but at least in this war, the target of all oppression is Iran, the Iranian people. Besides them, many people in the Muslim world and many countries are sitting silently, only out of fear that Donald Trump might say something about them. If they say something negative, their survival could be at risk, and their political system could also be endangered. Therefore, for now, all Muslim countries have remained silent. And instead of advising America and Israel, Iran is being told to exercise patience. The same advice has come from major European countries like Britain, Germany, and France, that Iran should act with caution. It is unclear what kind of caution they are referring to: if you are being attacked, does it mean you should sit with your hands tied, plug your ears, and wait to be hit further? This is the formula adopted by many countries, including the major European powers, that Iran is being advised not to oppress or kill children. But these people forget the children of Iran who were martyred, nearly 160 of them, in an Israeli missile attack two days ago. Thank you very much.
