Where and why are the US military present in the Middle East, including Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar?

 

The game of world powers, the Falcons turned the tables

A few weeks ago, Indian cinema presented the film “State of Emergency”, which narrates the life of the late Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi and her personal and family life in her political career.

The film shows the intensity of the drama and the tragic trend in the life of Indira Gandhi and her family. But if the biography of a

family like the Pakistani Bhutto family is presented on the cinema screen, how simple and devoid of enthusiasm a film made on the life of Indira Gandhi would appear is known only to those who are familiar with the lives of the Bhutto family.

The history of this family, which comes from an aristocratic background, is adorned with extraordinary stages of rise and fall, death and betrayal, blood and tears, in comparison with which the Indian story of the struggle for power and its consequences would pale. This is not just a reference to two influential families of Pakistan and India, but it is possible to compare the political and economic development of both countries with these families.

Pakistan, which came into existence in 1947, initially faced extreme difficulties in all sectors. After the separation of Bangladesh, the situation took a horrific turn, which was supported by the terrorist organization Mukti Bahini, which was created by India, and thus Pakistani politics reached its bloody peak in the late 1970s with the execution of the then Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

Pakistan entered a period of military rule with General Zia-ul-Haq, who was able to take advantage of the Afghan war, which targeted the Soviet Union. The enemies tried hard to either neutralize Pakistan or destroy it before the end of the 1980s and the collapse of the Eastern Bloc, but God had something else in mind (وَ مَكَرُوْا وَ مَكَرَ اللّٰهُ ؕ-وَ اللّٰٰهُ خَيْرُ الْمِٰرِيْنَ)

Translation: “And the disbelievers plotted, and Allah planned to destroy them, and Allah is the best of planners.”

It is no secret that Pakistan was established under extremely difficult circumstances and has faced one tragedy after another throughout its history. The difficulties of a newly born country can be well imagined, with a border of about 3,310 kilometers with a country that has become an enemy of its very existence. India, which has deeply ingrained itself in the genetic makeup of Pakistani nationalism, is an enemy of Pakistan’s existence, and Indian politicians make every effort to hold Pakistan responsible for all its problems. To make this idea a reality, they sometimes advance in a preferential position and sometimes retreat, sometimes make accusations, and sometimes make secret plans and conspiracies. As far as Pakistan is concerned, Pakistan has never initiated tensions with India, but Pakistan knows that India can go to any extent in its deceit and trickery, and history is witness that it has gone to that extent.

The fact is that Pakistan remains vigilant regarding India, no matter what the military and political movements of the world around them are, but regarding India, Pakistan's fingers are always close to the nuclear button and it is Pakistan's compulsion to do so. But Pakistan has never hidden this fact like India. After the Kargil war in 1999, Pakistan also announced it with the first strike policy.

India is Pakistan's enemy and this is no secret. While India has the support of every country including the US, Britain, France and Israel that has open and hidden hostility against Muslims, Pakistan has the real or symbolic support of almost all Muslim countries including China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, who somewhere or other understand that Pakistan is a nuclear power and has a highly professional army and these countries always need Pakistan somewhere or other.

Both countries are aware of each other's intentions. Pakistan uses mostly Chinese-made weapons, while India relies on the US, Russia, France, the UK and the illegal Zionist state of Israel for its arms. In the occupied Kashmir region, India uses Israeli-made Harop drones, which are used to gather intelligence in rugged mountainous terrain. India has also relied on Israeli Tver rifles since 2008 and used the SPICE-2000 precision-guided system in air strikes inside Pakistan after the 2019 Pulwama attack.

India is the world’s largest arms importer, spending about 10 percent of total global arms imports between 2008 and 2023. New Delhi plans to spend at least $200 billion over the next decade to modernize its military and enhance its defense capabilities.

In this context, Israel is one of India’s largest arms suppliers. Over the past decade, New Delhi has imported nearly $2.9 billion worth of Israeli weapons, including radars, spy planes, combat drones, and missile systems. The most prominent example of this cooperation is the Barak 8 air defense system. India is currently working to introduce a new generation of these missiles in three joint projects between the Indian Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and Israel Aerospace Industries.

It is well known that while India is an open enemy of Pakistan, the illegal Zionist state of Israel considers Pakistan as the biggest wall in its path, Israel has supported India on every front against Pakistan.

On April 22, a terrorist attack took place in the Pahalgam area of ​​occupied Kashmir, which India blamed on Pakistan without any evidence. Since then, India has attacked Israeli targets in various parts of Pakistan, which Pakistan has defended. However, Indian aggression increased and thus on the morning of May 10, Pakistan was forced to take its first formal military action against India.

Pakistani falcons shook the military, diplomatic and technological balance not only of South Asia but also of the world in a few hours. The limited war on the Pahalgam front was not just a skirmish, it was a military revolution, which set the direction of the coming decades and a new direction of the balance of power with Pakistan's capabilities in the whole world.

This war consisted of two phases, and lasted only two hours. But in these two hours, the dream of America, India and Israel that they had been seeing for decades, that of making India the only power in South Asia and Israel the only power in the Middle East, was shattered. India, which considered itself the superior power of the region in terms of defense, retreated after this incident in a way that will always be remembered in history. The traditional military imbalance that existed between Pakistan and India, is now over, and in many respects Pakistan has gained the upper hand.

The aggression of the Modi government not only provoked the war but also revived the issue of Kashmir, which was declared dead, on the world stage. Pakistan can now raise it at every international forum, including the United Nations, and now the world is forced to listen.

While India had all the support of the illegal Zionist state of Israel, Pakistan had the support of China.

Israel had confirmed its “support for India” after New Delhi announced missile strikes on nine locations in Pakistan. Israeli Ambassador to India Reuven Azar wrote on his social media account X: “Israel supports India’s legitimate right to defend itself. Terrorists should know that there is no place to hide from their heinous crimes against innocent people.”

This statement came a few hours after India launched “Operation Sindoor”. In the context of bilateral relations, Prime Minister Netanyahu, the war criminal of the illegal Zionist state of Israel, sent a condolence letter to his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi. Netanyahu said in his statement, “My dear friend Narendra Modi, I deeply regret the brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam that claimed the lives of dozens of innocent people. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.” The Zionist prime minister added, “Israel stands with India in its fight against terrorism,” emphasizing the deepening of the strategic relationship between the two countries to combat extremism and violence.

The failure of the Israeli drones, the destruction of the French Rafale, and the defeat of the US-backed Indian defense thinking have put a question mark on the credibility of Western arms manufacturers. The dream that America had of pitting India against China has now been shattered. The world has now clearly become bipolar and the Pakistan-China alliance has become the axis of this new division.

This incident is a reflection of Pakistan’s defense autonomy, technological convergence, and the depth of Chinese friendship that Pakistan is no longer just a regional power, it has become a strategic anchor that is affecting the balance of power in Asia.

The $250 million French Rafale, considered the best fighter jet in the world, was locked on and shot down after just 9 seconds, and India had to withdraw its air force 300 kilometers. This was not a dogfight but an ambush that Pakistani hawks skillfully set up around India. Rafale, which India bought as a symbol of superiority, was shot down by Pakistani pilots with a Chinese-made missile. This was not only a technical failure but also a geographical message to all those countries including the US who were unaware of Pakistan’s defensive capabilities till now. Now all those silent enemies including India have realized that violating Pakistan’s airspace would be a blatant mistake and suicide.

It is a fact that the world always stands with the victor and only a Muslim can understand that victory is not won by guns, tanks, planes, determination, preparation, unity, and modern technology but by trusting in one Allah.

"How many a small party has overcome a large party by the permission of Allah, and Allah is with the patient." (Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 249)

Translation: How many a small party has overcome a large party by the permission of Allah, and Allah is with the patient.

On May 10, in just a few hours, Pakistan brought this truth to the world.
