Yet another Muslim leader explains how his nation’s conflict with the West is all about Islam, the one element that every Western analyst reflexively discounts and ignores.
“Khamenei says West opposes Iran over Islamic order, not nuclear issue,” Iran International, December 27, 2025:
Western hostility toward Tehran stems from its challenge to the global order rather than its nuclear program, Iran’s supreme leader said, arguing that the core dispute is ideological.
The problem between the Islamic Republic and Western powers “is not the nuclear issue,” but opposition to Iran’s plan “to establish a national and international Islamic order,” Ali Khamenei said in a message issued Saturday to the annual meeting of Islamic student associations in Europe.
He framed the confrontation as resistance to an “unjust global order and the system of domination.”
“The heavy assault of the US army and its disgraceful appendage in the region was defeated by the initiative, courage and sacrifice of Iran’s young people,” Khamenei said in a reference to recent regional conflicts….
Andrew Knight says
He is spot on about the unjust global order and system of domination. Weirdly, he hasn’t noticed that its name is Islam. Funny that.
Big Dude says
He’s right. And he is ugly. A blot on the good name of Iran.

Boy, I hope so. But we’ve been waiting for 47 years for this…

Those ayatollahs mullahs and the other Muslim despots in tyrannical control in that Islamic regime of Iran terribly oppress the Iranian people through their thugs in uniform who are called the Islamic Revolutionary guards.
It’s no wonder that the people of Iran are revolting against those tyrants in power in Iran.
Nevertheless, because the that “mullah regime”s”Islamic state police , Revolutionary guards, many Iranians still live in fear of those Muslim dictators of that Islamic tyranny.
Regarding that , the wisdom printed by Benjamin Franklin ALMANAC in his periodical entitled POOR RICHARD’S does very much apply to this situation in current times in this century For it reads “Those who are feared are also hated.”
Adrian Fegan says
“Establish” ? ………. IMPOSE !
Happy New Year everyone

Khomeini with his delusional Islamic conceit didn’t ,no doubt, didn’t stop and think that it’s really God , and not the West ,Who is against that “mullah regime’s” scheme to establish an “international Islamic order.”
Furthermore, those dictators in power in the Islamic tyranny of Iran are so terribly horrendous that they are a reflection of those places in the Bible . As in Proverbs 15:15, which reads “All the days of the oppressed are wretched.” [N,I.V] Further in the Bible also reads “Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.” Proverbs 28:15. in addition the next book of the Bible reads ” I was the tears of the oppressed – and they have no comforter ;power was on the side of the op pressers .” Ecclesiastes 4;1.
Indeed, the Iranian people have every right to revolt against oppressively horrific Islamic regime of Iran.
SKA says
When the good people of Tehran regain self-rule they need to demolish the shrine of Khomeini and to exhume and publicly cremate his remains.
Walter Sieruk says
Those brutal cruel despots of that tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran with all their many brutal cruel oppressive evils are so very wicked that they are similar to the fiendish tyrants described in the Bible . Which reads “Pride is their neckless ; they cloth themselves with vioence . From their callous hearts comes iniquity ; their evil imaginations have no limits ‘ They scoff, and speak with malice ; with arrogance they threaten oppression .Their mouths lay claim to heaven , and their tongues take possession of the earth.” Psalm 73: :6-9. [N.I.V.]

His motivation may be that, but no sunni country will accept any Iranian established order. The default acceptance would be of an Arab country, usually Saudi Arabia, but failing that, a sunni country like Turkey, whose ethnic ancestors were responsible for the islamization of much of Asia and Europe. Iran was never an islamizing influence in history: it was more often than not a battlefield of Arabs, Turks and (non-muslim) Mongols
From the other end, the West – talking of its leaders, not the populace – is not at all opposed to an international islamic order. Indeed, some countries even have observer status at the OIC, which is a strange thing for non-muslim countries to want in the first place

The leadership with hundreds of thousands of unoccupied apartments built without utilities, a failing economy drained by throwing the citizen’s stolen money away to militant groups who raise hell in other Muslim nations, scaring other Muslim nations with nuclear ambitions, murdering women, and hanging men from cranes, and citizens who now refuse to have large families – this senile Ayatollah believes these are unifying skills to unite the Muslim nations into one big brotherhood????
The man is an malevolent administrative failure, even Allah won’t give him water!
The Ayatollah is the perfect example that evil men never believe they are evil. Those who are not dependent upon evil men recognize their evil, quickly. But thugs like the IRGC get benefits from criminal behavior upon the citizens and are the mafioso of Iran. Not hard to guess the Don’s name and the religion that numbs their conscience.
The West (and most of Islam) opposes you, old dud, for the same reason as your citizens – you are an evil, bumbling, administrator with grand designs to rule the world using as many Iranian deaths and other nations deaths, via proxies, as required. The Rial stops with you.
somehistory says
The adherents of illslime hate us all. Their ideas of what is good, embrace the worst of evils.
It’s only right and just that the idea of them ruling over us is opposed and hated when necessary.

Robert: I just finished reading your “Muhammad: A Critical Biography.”Five Stars! It is unpleasant surprise to learn that an unintended consequence of our Western scholars’ redaction or reconstruction of ibn Hisham’s Sirah was to feed the expansion in Sirah studies in the Islamic world with all that this entailed. I am hoping your scholarship and that of Jay Smith and others can help quelch the growth of Muhammadanism.

Khamenei says West opposes Iran because of Iranian plan ‘to establish international Islamic order’

Of course, most in the West don’t even know about this. But most of what Westerners *do* know about the Mullahs is pretty damn ugly.
