UMVA has learned that Iran’s supreme leader has launched a sweeping counteroffensive against President Donald Trump, aiming to rally Middle Eastern nations into an anti‑American alliance.
The move came hours after Trump called for an expansion of the Abraham Accords, sparking Tehran’s determination to position itself as the region’s “new sheriff” while forcing Gulf states to choose between Washington’s security umbrella and a “New Islamic Civilization.”
On the same day, Tehran’s leader issued a bold call for a united Islamic front, inviting all Muslim countries to friendship and cooperation in pursuit of a shared future that would reshape regional and global architecture.
The message warned that the United States would no longer enjoy a safe haven for its mischief or for establishing military bases in West Asia, and it called for the removal of American forces from Muslim soil.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that these statements represent a major escalation, timed to counter Trump’s recent outreach to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain.
By framing American bases as an occupation wrapped in religious language, the Iranian leader seeks to consolidate the Muslim world under its leadership and challenge the American‑led order that has long dominated the region.
While the call for a united Islamic civilization is not new, its precise timing—just 24 hours after Trump’s pitch—marks a significant shift from past rhetoric toward an active attempt to build an alliance against the Abraham Accords.
Iran’s sudden rhetoric of friendship follows months of aggression, with Iranian forces having fired upon Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE and Kuwait, the same capitals now being invited into a brotherhood.
Despite Tehran’s overtures, Gulf capitals remain deeply skeptical, wary of the costs of aligning with a regime that has repeatedly targeted their security and of any potential deal that could restore Iranian military capabilities while rewarding its past attacks.
UMVA’s investigation confirms that the region’s leaders are closely monitoring both Iranian maneuvers and American resolve, weighing the risks of either alliance in a climate of heightened tension and uncertainty.
