Trump Decertifies Iran Nuclear Deal

As expected, US President Donald Trump announced yesterday his refusal to certify Iran’s compliance with its nuclear agreement at this time. However, America is not withdrawing from the agreement itself. According to the New York Times:

President Trump announced on Friday his decision to disavow the Iran nuclear agreement, threatening to leave the deal altogether if it was not amended to permanently block Tehran from building nuclear weapons or intercontinental missiles.

But even as he delivered a fire-breathing indictment of the Iranian government’s activities around the Middle East, he stopped short of unraveling the agreement reached by President Barack Obama two years ago.

“We will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence, more chaos, the very real threat of Iran’s nuclear breakout,” Mr. Trump declared at the White House in a speech that was intended to define a broad strategy for confronting Iran.

It was America that took the initiative, under Obama, to enter into negotiations with Iran, along with other leading powers, in order to be able to more effectively make use of Iran within its region. Iran has been increasingly open, and instrumental, in supporting the regimes of Baghdad and Damascus, which are both in reality subordinate to America. In truth, Iran has been cooperating fully with the American agenda and this is why it was rewarded with the nuclear deal. And Trump has made clear that the nuclear deal continues, despite his refusal to certify Iran’s immediate compliance with it, so America’s policy has really not changed on this. So why is Trump creating a fuss now? Firstly it is good for his domestic political audience. And secondly, America wants to discipline Iran, now that Iran is completing its service to America in Syria and Iraq, so that Iran does not venture into going beyond America’s instructions.

The life of an agent to foreign powers is one of subservience and humiliation. The time is soon, with Allah’s permission, when our puppet rulers will be overthrown and we will see the emergence of sincere, indigenous, ideological leadership that will implement Islam and carry its message to the entire world.

Pakistan releases hostages on eve of visit of American delegation

The Pakistani leadership is rushing to mend relations with America after Trump’s denunciation of Pakistan’s insufficient support for the American occupation in Afghanistan. According to the Dawn:

“Strains in the Pak-US relationship appear to be disappearing fast as the two sides on Thursday agreed to continue bilateral engagement at all levels and reinvigorate relationship to achieve the common objective of defeating terrorism...

In a surprising ‘coincidence’ a Canadian citizen, his US national wife and their three children were recovered from the custody of terrorists by the Pakistan Army on Thursday — some five years after their abduction in Afghanistan. The recovery was instantly hailed by the White House.

This was the first high-level US delegation’s visit to Pakistan after US President Donald Trump unveiled a new strategy on South Asia and Afghanistan.”

Pakistan’s rulers, both military and civilian, live in constant fear of the wrath of the American superpower. Trump’s crude statements last month forced the Pakistani leadership into issuing harsh public statements in return. But behind the scenes they were simply looking for ways to re-establish good relations with America, even going to the extent of arranging the release of hostages to please and honour the American President and elevate him domestically in America.

The current leadership of Muslim countries complete lacks the vision to see that America, despite being the world’s sole superpower, is not able to project its power deep into Muslim lands because of the rejection of the Muslim Ummah in general of the presence of the foreign disbeliever. This is why Britain and other colonial countries had to retreat from Muslim lands in the last century. With Allah’s permission, we will soon see the agent rulers that they left behind retreating also, and their replacement with those who are sincere to the Ummah and its Deen.

America Punishes Kurds for Holding Referendum

According to the Washington Post:

“Iraqi forces have demanded that Kurdish troops withdraw from oil fields and military bases around the contested city of Kirkuk, Kurdish officials and a senior militia leader said Friday, leading to a tense standoff around the city.

Kurdish Peshmerga soldiers rallied to protect Kirkuk on Thursday night, as Interior Ministry troops and Shiite militias mobilized nearby. Volunteer and retired fighters bolstered the lines. Several positions were taken over by Iraqi forces, however, with Kurdish officers saying they received orders to withdraw.

The Kirkuk area, with about 10 percent of Iraq’s oil reserves, has long been contested by the central government in Baghdad and Kurdish authorities in Irbil, but the province has become even more of a flash point since the Kurdistan region voted in favor of independence in a referendum last month.”

The Baghdad government is once again proving that it is completely within the control of the United States. Last month, America was deeply angered by the decision of Masood Barzani, who heads the ruling Kurdish Democratic Party in Irbil in northern Iraq, to proceed with a referendum on independence of Kurdistan from Baghdad. In response America has instructed Haider al-Abadi, the Iraqi Prime Minister, to proceed to retake Kirkuk, which was liberated by Kurdish Peshmerga forces, though not formally part of Kurdistan, and produces about 10% of Iraq’s oil.

The solution to the problem of Kurdistan is not independence from Iraq, but the elimination of the foreign disbelieving imperialist and his influence from all Muslim lands by re-establishing the righteous Islamic State on the method of the Prophet (saw) and reuniting all Muslim lands under a single righteous Khalifah (Caliph) who will truly implement Islam within the State and carry its message to the entire world.
