Nigeria: The world dislikes the weak: Reflections on Iran’s situation
By Zuleihat Owuiye, Mamos Nigeria
The world dislikes the weak”, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed critiques Iran’s handling of its conflict with the US and Israel. The author argues that Iran’s weakness and lack of strong alliances have made it vulnerable to attack.
Iran’s leadership negotiated with the US and Israel, potentially out of fear or ignorance, but ultimately couldn’t avoid being targeted.
The global community has little sympathy for the weak, and Iran’s attempts to resist US and Israeli power are seen as futile.
The author draws parallels with Ukraine, highlighting the limitations of international support and the importance of self-strengthening.
The situation in Iran has implications for regional stability, Palestinian rights, and global security.
Baba-Ahmed suggests that Iran’s aggressive stance in the region has not translated to meaningful alliances or protection. The US and Israel’s actions are seen as a demonstration of power, with Iran’s capitulation likely to have far-reaching consequences.
