In the ongoing US-Iranian attacks after the failure to stop the war for sixty days, the comparison in the scale of damage between Washington and Tehran appears to sharply tilt in favor of America. Iran faces painful strikes without resistance, while US forces are not harmed at all. The Iranian response has been limited to attacking a number of Gulf Cooperation Council countries, even though none of these countries are involved in this fighting.

Iran's problem is that it does not assess its capabilities properly, nor does it give importance to the American striking power, and therefore its adventures are uncalculated for the coming deadly reaction that America will carry out, which has caused Iran to increase its suffering economically, security-wise, and socially, to a near-complete collapse of all the power and influence it once enjoyed.

The nuclear reactor that Iran insists on possessing has been significantly damaged without being able to achieve success for its nuclear program. Its proxies in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and before that in Syria, were nothing but a burden on its financial and military capabilities, and it could not protect them. Those who remain among them are on their way to extinction. These are two examples of the poor Iranian policy and Tehran's short-sighted view in serving the people, instead of squandering public funds in the wrong direction.

Tehran is now at a crossroads: either sticking to its policies and agendas as they are now, bearing the consequences of this policy harmful to Iran, or building a new policy that leads the country towards security and prosperity, achieving stability, improving its economic situation, and the quality of life for this people who have suffered and are suffering greatly since the revolution against the Shah of Iran.

We are talking about a Muslim country, with which we share borders, common interests, and between us there is a rupture or semi-rupture. We have endured from it conspiracies, interference in our internal affairs, and incitement of some of our citizens to disobedience, while it has no interest nor do they have in the ideas it feeds and the policies it teaches, with the aim of causing confusion, chaos, and rebellion against public order.

The time has come for Iran to learn from the calamities it is going through, and for its behavior and the outcome of its policies to serve as lessons for it to take the right path and the correct approach in dealing with its neighbors, and in prioritizing its interests and the interests of its neighbors over what stirs up disputes and conflicts with it.

Iran needs to understand and comprehend what is happening to it now. Understanding depends on correcting the mistakes of the past and present, building a better future for Iran, bidding a regretless farewell to the policy by which the country was managed, in order to safeguard interests, protect lives, and prepare for future projects that will make the country prosper and the people enjoy, instead of wars that consumed everything green and dry, and killed as many people as they did in crimes that could have been avoided.
