⚠️READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED⚠️


March 1, 2026: Brief Opinion

Advertisements

Whether you say RIP or RIH (rest in hell), either way, Ali Hosseini Khamenei is no longer here. The country of Iran is divided on how to react and what to do next. Ali surprisingly had many supporters and loyalists that wanna carrying on his legacy. As you guessed, the majority of the people in Iran are celebrating and joyful that the reign of their supreme leader for 36 years is over. We all agree that leaders of nations, countries, etc should treat the people who put them in the position of power with respect and not terrorize them. You can actually say his reign of terror over Iran spanned over 40 years if you think about it. Nonetheless, officially, a new chapter in Iran starts as of March 1, 2026.

Many Americans are asking themselves how did we get to this point? Yes, once again, America is now involved in something that had nothing to do with us. Now, of course, the overly Patriotic folks are beating their chest screaming, “yeah, this is America. No one messes with us. USA, USA”. But many of us are like, oh here we go again. As of now, reading this, we tragically lost 3 service members (RIP). The U.S. and Israel’s attack on Iran began on February 28, the last day of Black History Month. You can argue if the horrific events didn’t that took place on October 7, 2023, known as the “Gaza war,” we probably wouldn’t be in this situation. It’s a fact that Israel and their everlasting conflict with the Arab world and its surroundings are inevitable. No one in the region is willing to put their difference aside or have a sit-down. 

The controversy surrounding the attacks from America stems from the hypocrisy of President Donald Trump. 15 years ago, long before Donald Trump ran for President, he heavily criticized and made many assumptions about then-President Barack Obama going to war with Iran to help him politically. Well, if you were old enough, you definitely remember how Trump ran on that, which turned out to be complete bullshit. In fact, President Obama did the opposite. He made Iran sign a nuclear deal with France, the US, and even Russia to reduce its nuclear program. Even that caused backlash from the right, and some even called it a big mistake. Whether you agree or disagree on that being a bad deal, the real fact is that President Obama did not go to war with Iran as then-private citizen Donald Trump suggested. Everyone wants peace. Who doesn’t? But in the Middle East, not to sound pessimistic, it’s likely to never happen. You can say it’s because of territorial, religious, or economic reasons. America can’t continue to play peacemaker for countries that have been in conflict for as long as 100 years. The lingering question is what really sparked President Donald Trump’s decision to attack Iran alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. I think we all know what Netanyahu’s reasons behind on that. He is clearly still haunted and upset by the events that happened on October 7, 2023. Which I think the majority of people understand. That’s like telling America to move past 9/11. But I think most Americans know the focal point of this attack on the U.S side. The same thing that happened on January 3, 2026. The surprise attack on Venezuela. Supposedly, it’s because of the drug trade and how it’s being imported to America. The goal was to remove Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Which they successfully did and it caught everyone off guard. Congress was not aware of the planned attack on Venezuela. Since then, I personally haven’t heard the words Venezuela and drugs in the same sentence. Just oil. That sounds familiar, right? Going into a county, bomb it, then retrieve their oil, and come up with a logical reason why. If you don’t wanna say history is repeating itself, you can say it’s the same melody. People have to ask themselves and put the political party bullshit aside, do you really think President Donald J Trump gives a damn about regime change in countries like Venezuela, Iran, Palestine, etc? Absolutely not. This can’t be the same guy who threatened, preached, and campaigned on deporting people out of America back to countries like Venezuela, Iran, Palestine, and even so-called shithole countries (as he called them) in Africa. Now, as you expect, Iran is threatening to retaliate, which we all should have known was coming. Trump alienated America from its allies like France and Canada, so we’re basically on our own now to fight Israel’s war. And please don’t make the argument about Ukrane and Russia war. Joe Biden didn’t want to get involved in that conflict but decided to send weapons, such as defense missiles, to Ukraine. No American soldier is over there fighting that war. Despite people having fears that Joe Biden was going to get us into that war. It didn’t happen. Trump is the same guy who bragged about ending 8 wars, has now started a war with a country that never threatened America. “No new wars”, y’all remember that?. Once again, the party of war strikes again! (no pun intended).

But let’s really talk about why all this is happening. The Epstein files are very troubling for Trump. Whenever there’s something damning about to come out that has something to do with Jeffrey Epstein, Trump decides to act outrageously and make the American people lose focus and change the topic. Yes, the Epstein files saga continues, and it’s not going anywhere till people are held accountable for their actions. So far, powerful politicians and even members of the royal family have been held accountable. As of now, only Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in prison for her sex trafficking crime with Jeffrey Epstein. The DOJ already stated that Trump’s name is mentioned in the files more than anyone else. Still, Trump denies any wrongdoing. Along with many others, like former president Bill Clinton, who was questioned by the House Oversight Committee. Yet, the same House Committee won’t ask Trump to come in for questioning. They say, if you did nothing wrong, why run, hide, and make excuses? No matter what people feel and say about Barack Obama and even Joe Biden. Neither one of them is in the Epstein files. A typical person on the right will use the argument that Obama or Biden didn’t do anything about the Epstein case. And that’s a good argument, and who knows if they actually knew about Esptein at all? But the 2024 Trump campaign ran on releasing the Epstein files all the way to election night. But once Trump got re-elected, that all went away. Then, once it was discovered by the US AG Pam Bondi that Trump was in the files, they quickly swept it under the rug and wanted people to forget about it. You know when that happens, that means they have something to hide. I think Pam Boni, along with the FBI director Kash Patel, is hiding, if not already buried, files and evidence on Donald Trump. Eventually, the truth will come out. We just have to see what else will happen when we get closer to it.
