Faisal Muhammed Highlights America’s Twin Objectives — Tehran Pressured, Bagram Positioned

A Vaster Battlefield Than Tehran

Expert on international affairs Faisal Muhammed warns that any US military strike on Iran won’t remain confined to Iranian borders and risks igniting a much broader regional conflagration. With tensions already raging between Washington and Tehran, the instinctive US objectives of regime change in Iran and reassertion of control over strategic assets like Afghanistan’s Bagram Air Base are set to collide with entrenched geopolitical interests across Eurasia. Recent reports underscore that high stakes posturing over Bagram continues to stir unease among regional powers including Iran, Russia, China and Pakistan, which view renewed US military footprint there as a threat to peace and stability.

Trump’s Gamble: Not Venezuela, Not a Backwater

Speaking from London with VOM News, Faisal argues a Trump ordered assault on Iran would be a strategic misstep, drawing the United States into a far more perilous arena than Venezuela ever was. Unlike isolated interventions, a clash with Iran, a nation bolstered by deep rooted regional ties and a sophisticated defense posture, could reverberate across the Middle East and beyond. US efforts to reclaim or leverage Bagram as a pivot point for power projection might be met with hardened resistance, especially given the quadrilateral opposition by China, Russia, Iran and Pakistan to renewed foreign bases in Afghanistan.

A Powder Keg of Alliances and Alarms

Mediator Faisal also links recent regional dynamics including Pakistan’s controversial characterization of the Taliban regime as creating conditions reminiscent of the pre 9/11 era to the larger geopolitical tumult. Such pronouncements, he suggests, could foreshadow unpredictable incidents that might be exploited to justify escalations akin to a “Road to Bagram” scenario. Meanwhile, Tehran insists that any external aggression would be met with resolute response, and recent diplomatic dialogues hint at intensifying partnerships that Washington may be underestimating.
