New York University Professor Analyzes Failure of War Project Against Iran
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Aamil Alkalaai, a distinguished professor at Queens College, New York, has examined the reasons for the failure of the current war against Iran in an article published by the Middle East Eye media platform. The professor posits that after decades of warmongering and attempts to dominate weaker nations, the United States and Israel may have finally encountered an insurmountable obstacle. He argues that the present offensive against Iran, conducted with the participation of the Israeli regime, is not a sign of strength but potentially the beginning of the final collapse of America’s declining empire.
The official narrative from Washington and Tel Aviv is replete with eschatological terminology and religiously framed anger. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, reportedly adorned with Crusades-era tattoos, has threatened Iranians with complete destruction without mercy. This level of belligerence and bloodshed, which has even raised concerns among former American military personnel, is described as indicative of a deep moral sickness at the highest levels of Western decision-making, extending beyond mere military strategy.
In stark contrast to this perceived moral decay, the article presents a vastly different image of Iran. During this year’s Quds Day, amidst the flight of infringing drones and the sound of air defense explosions, Iranian officials were seen interacting with ordinary citizens. This scene is portrayed as a clear confrontation between two worlds: one characterized by violence and a delusion of power, and the other by resistance, tranquility, and a connection with the people.
The brutality of the American and Israeli war machine is not confined to the battlefield. The initial victims cited are students from a girls’ school in Minab, who were reportedly killed in a horrific incident involving American missiles. Simultaneously, an assassination attempt was reportedly made against the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, which the author suggests reflects the attackers’ moral depravity. The Israeli regime is also accused of attempting to broaden the scope of the war by threatening the complete destruction of Beirut and the occupation of Lebanon.
The situation in Gaza is described as even more dire than reported, with ongoing bombings of homes and camps. In the West Bank, tens of thousands of Palestinians are said to be held in deplorable conditions in regime prisons. A recent atrocity cited involves the killing of parents and their two young children by Israeli soldiers as they returned from Eid al-Fitr shopping, with the surviving children allegedly left behind violently and mockingly after their parents were shot point-blank.
However, the article questions whether such a level of violence can lead to victory, referencing historical precedent. It is argued that the Taliban, with minimal resources, managed to bring the heavily armed U.S. military to its knees in Afghanistan. Hamas and Hezbollah, despite their limited weaponry, remain influential regional forces. Iran, the article contends, is in a fundamentally different position.
The Islamic Republic of Iran, with a population of 90 million, significant strategic depth, and advanced indigenous military capabilities, is presented as incomparable to previous adversaries of the U.S. and Israel. The reliance on asymmetric air power and the deliberate targeting of civilians by the U.S. is deemed ineffective against the will and cohesion of a nation. Iran’s resistance is framed not only as vital for its own people but as an inspiring model for all nations that have been victims of American imperial overreach. The “empire of chaos,” described as having lost its domestic infrastructure and with rotting institutions, now faces an enemy that is not only undefeated but could represent the endpoint of Western military hegemony. The author expresses a hope that this pivotal conflict will mark the beginning of the end of the “criminal system of perpetual wars.”
