Why the Israel-Iran Conflict Will Never End — And Who Actually Profits

-
Image
The Israel-Iran conflict is often portrayed as a clash of ideologies, religion, or nuclear ambition. But this narrative barely scratches the surface. Beneath the speeches, the airstrikes, and the diplomatic noise lies a deeper machinery — one powered not by patriotism, but by profit, control, and ancient designs. The war is not simply between two nations, but among systems, empires, and global forces that thrive on permanent instability. It’s a war engineered to last — not to end. 1. Control Over Energy and Resources At its core, the Israel-Iran conflict revolves around control of the Middle East’s most critical resource: energy. Iran sits atop massive reserves of oil and gas, while Israel has emerged as a key player in the Eastern Mediterranean gas fields. The tension prevents Iran from developing independent export infrastructure, and Israel’s Western alliances ensure pipelines and deals bypass Iranian routes. Keeping Iran isolated maintains monopoly-like control over glo...

Battle of Dograi: A Tale of Blood, Valor, and Sacrifice

The Battle of Dograi, fought on 20–21 September 1965, during the Indo-Pakistani War, remains one of the most intense and blood-soaked episodes of urban warfare in modern South Asian history. Set against the backdrop of a full-scale war between India and Pakistan, the struggle for Dograi unfolded just miles away from Lahore, Pakistan’s cultural and strategic heart. Dograi, a small village on the eastern bank of the Ichhogil Canal, had become a fortified bastion after a series of tactical advances and retreats. Initially captured by the 3 Jat Regiment of the Indian Army, it was later lost due to a powerful Pakistani counter-offensive. The battle to recapture Dograi was not merely a tactical operation — it was a matter of pride, honor, and military redemption for India. On the other side, Pakistan’s 16 Punjab Regiment and supporting units had transformed Dograi into a formidable defensive position, determined to hold it as a shield protecting Lahore. As the battle raged over two days, Dog...

The Battle of Longewala, fought from 4 to 7 December 1971, stands as one of the most remarkable examples of valor, resilience, and tactical brilliance in modern military history. It was during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 that this battle unfolded in the arid Thar Desert of Rajasthan, where a small contingent of 120 Indian soldiers of the 23 Punjab Regiment, commanded by Major Kuldip Singh Chandpuri, faced an overwhelming Pakistani armored assault comprising over 2,000 soldiers and 45 tanks, mainly Chinese-made T-59s supported by M113 armored personnel carriers (APCs). Against impossible odds, the Indian defenders, armed with limited anti-tank weapons and stationed at an isolated border post, not only repelled the Pakistani advance but also inflicted devastating losses on the enemy. By the end of the battle, 37 Pakistani tanks lay destroyed, countless enemy soldiers were killed, and Longewala emerged as a symbol of unwavering grit and patriotism. 1. The Silent Desert Watc...

Battle of Saragarhi: A Tale of Ultimate Sacrifice and Valor

-
The Battle of Saragarhi, fought on September 12, 1897, stands as one of the greatest last stands in military history. It was a moment where valor, sacrifice, and unwavering duty met the brutality of overwhelming odds. The battle unfolded in the rugged terrain of the North-West Frontier Province (now in modern-day Pakistan), where 21 Sikh soldiers of the 36th Sikh Regiment, led by Havildar Ishar Singh, defended the isolated outpost of Saragarhi against an onslaught of 12,000 to 24,000 Orakzai and Afridi tribesmen. Despite knowing that the odds were insurmountable and reinforcements were too far away, these brave men chose to fight to the last breath rather than surrender. Their sacrifice not only delayed the fall of Fort Gulistan but also etched their names into the annals of history as eternal symbols of bravery and devotion to duty. 1. Brewing Storm on the Frontier A. Sikh Perspective: The year was 1897, and the North-West Frontier Province of British India had become a cauldron of un...
