A Few Pieces of Advice for Trump

Iranians who collaborate with Trump fall into three categories. The first group consists, in all likelihood, of spies; naturally, all their “clever” maneuvers are contrived, and ultimately, their intelligence ends up on the table [in Tehran]. This renders Trump’s decisions impotent and sterile, as his hand is effectively revealed to Iran. The second group consists of American agents who genuinely desire a Trump victory; however, due to their distance from Iran, they lack the accurate analysis that would actually be of use to Trump—meaning any money paid to them is simply money thrown to the wind. More dangerous than these, however, is the third group: those who have used Trump as a ladder—placing their feet upon his shoulders—in hopes of becoming the leaders of Iran. They might even spend their own money or cover the costs of a military campaign, but since they lack any genuine base of support within Iran, any analysis they provide is actually intended to undermine Trump—lest he fail to grant them the positions they seek. In short, all the miscalculations made by Trump and the United States over the last half-century stem from the delusional information they have been fed. Therefore, it would be better for Trump to submit to Seyyed Mojtaba and pledge his allegiance to him; for he is a “knowledgeable enemy,” and he would never betray someone with whom he has shaken hands.

What Is an Existential War?

An existential war is derived from the "clash of civilizations." Its distinction from the clash of civilizations lies in its reciprocal nature—essentially a "them or us" scenario. In contrast, the clash of civilizations is often viewed as one-sided, favoring the "modern" civilization—a concept rooted in Ibn Khaldun’s theory of *asabiyyah* (social cohesion/group solidarity). Consequently, a conflict between Islam and the Jews would inevitably favor Islam, as it represents a newer, more cohesive force. While setbacks may occur along the way, they are merely "zigzag" movements—temporary reverses that are quickly rectified. For instance, during the early days of Islam, the Prophet engaged in approximately 81 existential conflicts; the Jews genuinely sought the total destruction of the Muslims, yet God’s promise ensured the victory of the Muslim community. Even when defeats occurred in a few instances, they served as vital lessons, preventing the Muslims from becoming arrogant or losing sight of their purpose. In the present day, although figures like Trump speak of destroying Iran, or Netanyahu discusses the collapse of the Islamic Republic, they know these claims are hollow—mere electioneering rhetoric. This is because Islam has already taken root within the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Israel, and beyond. Furthermore, should there be any faltering in Iran, the very citizens of the U.S., France, and Israel would themselves bring about the downfall of Zionism and imperialism—the sound of their breaking bones can already be heard.
