'Americans aim to change Iranian government, create chaos ': Waiel Awwad on Israel-Iran

Foreign affairs expert Waiel Awwad says US-Israeli strikes that killed Ayatollah Khamenei aim to change Iran's government, sparking a wider regional war.

"This whole attack has been taking place so the Americans could take the second round of an assault in Iran, hoping that they will be able to change the government of Iran and create chaos in the region. - Waiel Awwad"

New Delhi, March 1

Foreign affairs expert Waiel Awwad said that Americans and Israelis had long aimed to change the leadership in Iran, hence strikes were carried out in the region.

On Saturday, Awwad told ANI, "It was the Israelis who started this war against Iran early in the morning when they started attacking their military installations, the leadership of Iran, including the supreme leaders, Ayatollah Khamenei's residence, and even the president and the foreign ministry. This whole attack has been taking place so the Americans could take the second round of an assault in Iran, hoping that they will be able to change the government of Iran and create chaos in the region.

Highlighting Iran's swift response, Awwad added," The Iranian was quick in retaliating against this attack. They have already attacked the American military bases in the region and most of the GCC countries, including Iraq... This is a clear indication that this is going to be a more escalated war. It is more of a regional war. That is what the Americans and Israelis want."

Meanwhile, Iran killed the country's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.

As per Tasnim News, Khamenei was killed while at the workplace in the early hours of Sunday.

Iranian media Press TV has reported on Sunday that the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei was killed in the Israeli-US strikes.

In a post on X, Press TV said, "Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei martyred in US-Israeli attacks on Iran".

As per Reuters, citing the state media, 40 days of public mourning have been announced in Iran after Khamenei's death.

The report about Ayatollah Khamenei is shocking. If true, this changes everything. The region is already a tinderbox. A power vacuum in Iran could lead to unimaginable chaos, affecting global oil prices and security. Hoping for restraint from all sides. 🙏

While the expert's analysis has merit, we must be cautious. The source is ANI and the details need independent verification. The situation is fluid. As Indians, our primary concern should be the safety of our diaspora in the Gulf and ensuring our energy security isn't disrupted.

This is terrifying. A full-scale regional war will be a disaster for the whole world. India has good relations with many Gulf countries and also with the US. Our diplomacy will be truly tested now. Jai Hind, but our leaders need to work overtime for peace.

With respect to the expert, framing this solely as an American-Israeli conspiracy is too simplistic. Iran's own actions and proxies have contributed to the tensions. That said, assassination of a head of state is a red line. Hope our MEA is preparing for all scenarios.

My heart goes out to the innocent people of Iran who will bear the brunt of this. 40 days of mourning announced... such a sad situation. War only brings loss. The international community must act to prevent further bloodshed. #Peace
