US/Israeli War on Iran is State Terrorism

Iranian President Pezeshkian, in his speech at the United Nations just a short while ago, said:

 

“Iran: A Victim of Terrorism”

 

In other words, in polite language, he called America a terrorist state. And do you know what he said next? Just read CNN's breaking news right now and you'll understand. He said: “We will never bow our head”

 

Let me give you just one calculation. Do you know what Saudi Arabia's military spending was in 2025?

 

Saudi Arabia's military spending was 82 billion. And Iran's? 7.4 billion. The difference is as wide as heaven and earth. Saudi Arabia spends six and a half percent of its total GDP on the military. And Iran? Only two percent.

 

Even Kuwait's military spending in 2025 was 8 billion. That is, far more than Iran's. Why do they have to spend so much?

 

Because all of them buy weapons from imperialist America. Which means all that money goes straight to America. Fine, I get it — their military spending is so high because they buy weapons from America. But have those weapons been able to protect them?

 

Forget Iran. Saudi Arabia can't even hold its own against the Houthis in Yemen. Their ports have been shut down. Their pipelines are lying damaged. Now Saudi Arabia is begging America for help. It's begging other countries too. So what was the point of buying all these weapons?

 

And Iran? Despite spending so little on its military, it has now emerged as a powerful state in the world. How? Because they put their own technology to work. They don't have to buy weapons from any imperialist state.

 

Today, President Pezeshkian can stand at the United Nations with his head held high and say:

“We will never bow our head”

 

Why is he able to? Why isn't America killing them? Why isn't it detaining them, or why did it even let them go there? Because Iran has built that Deterrence. 

 

American professor John Mearsheimer has said:

“Iran certainly has some kind of Leverage, which has forced Trump's hand.”

 

Just think about it — a country you are at war with, and its president can go into that very country, stand at the United Nations with his head held high, and say:

America is a terrorist state.

Iran is showing the whole world how to live with your head held high.
