        "summary": "The death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on 1 March 2026, due to a US-Israeli airstrike on Tehran, has plunged the Islamic Republic into mourning and sparked warnings of a potential 'Islamic Revolution Volume II'. Analysts fear this could ignite fierce resistance from Iranian Shia supporters, fostering solidarity across Muslim-majority nations against perceived American and Israeli aggression, potentially escalating into a broader clash of civilisations. The article critiques US-led peace initiatives as mere pretexts for military dominance, predicting delayed peace in the Middle East and heightened anti-Western alliances.",
        "content": "<p>More than a week after the death of the highest leader of the Shia\nMuslim community in Iran, Ali Khamenei, on 1 March 2026, it represents\nprofound grief among the people of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Islamic\ncountries in the Middle East, and nations with Muslim majorities\nworldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Ali Khamenei, Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader, died as a result of an airstrike\ncarried out by US and Israeli military forces against several targets in\nTehran. The Islamic Republic of Iran has announced a 40-day mourning\nperiod for the passing of the nation\u2019s highest leader. Mojtaba Khamenei\nhas replaced the late Ali Khamenei.<\/p>\n<p>This death may be celebrated proudly by America, Israel, and their\nallies. However, it should be remembered that such events can foster an\neven fiercer spirit of resistance from the Iranian people and supporters\nof their highest leader, who has become a martyr due to the military\ninvasion by nations opposing the political policies of the Islamic\nRepublic of Iran.<\/p>\n<p>In my view, this is something that countries supporting America and\nIsrael need to pay attention to, regarding the solidarity that may\nemerge from empathy and condemnation towards America and Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Islamic Revolution Volume II<\/p>\n<p>We remember that in 1979, the Shah Pahlavi regime, supported by\nAmerica, was overthrown by charismatic figures of the Islamic Republic\nof Iran. At that time, Ayatollah Imam Khomeini, as the founder of the\nIslamic Republic of Iran, along with other Iranian Islamic figures such\nas Murtadha Mutahhari, Ali Shariati, including Ali Khamenei, became\nsupporters in the fight against Reza Pahlavi. After the death of\nAyatollah Imam Khomeini, Ali Khamenei became his successor from 1981 to\n2026 until his death due to the US and Israeli airstrike invasion.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the events of 1979, it is not impossible that this will\nrekindle the spirit of Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolution Volume II to fight\nagainst the tyranny of America and Israel. America\u2019s desire to turn Iran\ninto a puppet state by installing a president of its choosing cannot be\nrealised. Even the Iranian people, who are highly loyal to their Supreme\nLeader, will soon mount resistance with all their strength and very high\nsolidarity.<\/p>\n<p>The solidarity of the Iranian people, whom we know are mostly of the\nShia sect, will carry out resistance in the name of the dignity of\nIranians and Shia people whose national sovereignty has been trampled by\nforeign nations. We know that America and Israel are the greatest\nenemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran.<\/p>\n<p>This is because America and Israel are seen as acting arbitrarily\nagainst the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran with various\nfalse accusations about nuclear armament and the undemocratic management\nof the state.<\/p>\n<p>If an escalation of resistance and war occurs by the Iranian people\nas revenge against America and Israel, then the rise of Islam Volume II,\nwhich was never imagined before by the Donald Trump dictatorship regime,\nmarks the beginning of open war in the Islamic world with America and\nIsrael under Benjamin Netanyahu. The World War of Islam versus\nAmerica-Israel signifies the existence of two opposing military and\npolitical ideological forces between one and the other.<\/p>\n<p>America-Israel is on the anti-Islam sect, while Iran and its allies\nare on the sect defending Islam in the Middle East and the Islamic world\nin general. This is the era of the second volume of the clash of\ncivilisations as predicted by Samuel Huntington, which ultimately proves\ntrue, because America along with Israel has sounded the drum of war with\nSemitic sect countries. The replacement of Ali Khamenei by Mojtaba\nKhamenei does not diminish the resistance against the US and Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Delayed Peace<\/p>\n<p>With the potential open war between America-Israel and their allies\nversus the Islamic Republic of Iran along with Islamic countries and\nMuslim-majority populations that sympathise and empathise with Iran,\nworld peace in the Middle East in particular will be delayed.<\/p>\n<p>America\u2019s desire to foster peace in the Middle East and Islamic\ncountries is merely pie in the sky. This is because America is opening\nnew wounds in Islamic countries in the Middle East region and\nMuslim-populated countries.<\/p>\n<p>America and Israel are indirectly sounding the drum for World War III\nby carrying out military invasions into Iran and several countries in\nAfrica and the Middle East with Muslim populations such as Sudan,\nAfghanistan, and Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, we are somewhat doubtful about the Board of Peace (BOP)\nestablished by America, and several supporting countries, including\nIndonesia, to create true peace in the Middle East region and other\ncountries.<\/p>\n<p>Even now, with the indiscriminate attacks against the Islamic\nRepublic of Iran, as well as other countries, we can say that America is\nbuilding warfare in the name of world peace that it has created itself\nby seeking support from other countries.<\/p>\n<p>The peace that America hopes will be created through the BOP is truly\njust pie in the sky. The BOP is really just a tool for political\nlegitimation for America to carry out warfare and military invasions\nagainst other countries that America considers do not agree with world\npeace.<\/p>\n<p>However, what actually happens is that America and Israel desire\nunconditional submission to American and Israeli foreign political and\neconomic policies. If there is a country considered to resist, then\nmilitary invasion will not hesitate to be launched immediately. Iran is\nthe most recent proof of the arrogance of American political economy and\nIsraeli support.<\/p>\n<p>With the event of the US-Israeli military invasion into Iran that\nkilled the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, world peace\nin the Middle East region and anti-American countries will increasingly\nstrengthen solidarity in resistance.<\/p>\n<p>We are still waiting for the reaction of the Republic of Turkey,\nwhich has so far supported Iran\u2019s foreign policy and other Islamic\ncountries.<\/p>",
