US-Israeli aggression on Iran could shake Muslim world and global order: Masood Khan
Islamabad: Former President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and former Ambassador, Sardar Masood Khan, has warned that the ongoing US-Israeli aggression on Iran could trigger far-reaching consequences for the Muslim world and the global political system.
According to Kashmir Media Service, in a televised analysis, Ambassador Masood Khan stated that regardless of how the conflict ultimately concludes, the Muslim Ummah is likely to suffer significant strategic and economic losses. He noted that the escalation has already destabilized the Gulf region.
Ambassador Khan observed that the retaliatory exchanges between Iran and the United States–Israel axis have drawn several Gulf states into the unfolding crisis, thereby transforming the conflict from a localized confrontation into a wider regional security challenge. Prolonged hostilities, he warned, could deepen economic instability far beyond the Middle East and affect markets worldwide.
Commenting on the objectives of the war, Masood Khan pointed out that statements from senior American officials—including the President, the Vice President, and the Secretary of Defense—have been marked by ambiguity and contradiction. He said it remains unclear whether the primary objective is to dismantle Iran’s nuclear programme, enforce regime change, weaken its missile capabilities, or reshape the strategic balance of the region. This lack of clarity, he noted, has generated confusion not only internationally but also within the US itself.
Ambassador Khan further remarked that public opinion within the US appears increasingly divided over the conflict. While some political constituencies initially supported the intervention, growing criticism has emerged across the American political spectrum, including within segments of the President’s own political base.
Masood Khan also highlighted that the current conflict reflects a broader transformation in the international system. Unlike previous military interventions, he noted, this war has unfolded without explicit authorization from the United Nations Security Council, without a unified coalition of allies, and without clear international consensus. “The unfolding crisis,” Ambassador Masood Khan concluded, “illustrates the erosion of the post-World War II order and may well mark the transition toward a more fragmented and uncertain multipolar world.”
