    Iran rejects America’s peace plan, launches attacks on Israel and Gulf states, while U.S. troops flood the region and oil prices skyrocket. The Middle East teeters on the brink.


Ervil, March 26, Kurdish Policy Analysis

Iran on Wednesday flatly dismissed a U.S.-backed plan to pause the war in the Middle East, launching new strikes on Israel and Gulf Arab states, including a fuel tank at Kuwait International Airport that sparked a major fire.

The moves came as Israel conducted airstrikes on Tehran and the United States deployed paratroopers and thousands of Marines to the region.

Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, told state TV that Tehran has “not engaged in talks to end the war, and we do not plan on any negotiations.” Iranian state media cited a five-point Iranian proposal demanding reparations, halts on attacks, and continued control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

The U.S. 15-point ceasefire proposal, transmitted via Pakistan, included sanctions relief, limits on Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and curbing support for armed groups. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed negotiations are “productive,” but warned that failure could prompt the U.S. to “hit harder than ever before.”

Military deployments are escalating. The 82nd Airborne Division will send 1,000 troops to secure key positions, while 5,000 Marines and thousands of sailors are en route. Meanwhile, oil prices remain volatile due to attacks on energy infrastructure and restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz.

Israeli airstrikes targeted Tehran and Iran’s submarine development center in Isfahan, while Hezbollah and Iranian forces continued attacks on northern Israel. Gulf Arab states intercepted drones and missiles, with casualties reported across the region: over 1,500 dead in Iran, 20 in Israel, 1,100 in Lebanon, and at least 13 U.S. troops.

Diplomatic efforts face monumental hurdles. Iran’s leadership remains highly suspicious of the U.S., and Israel continues to vow targeted strikes on Iranian leaders. With energy markets under pressure and civilian casualties mounting, the Middle East stands on the brink of deeper conflict.

      On March 16, 1988, exactly 38 years ago, the former dictator of Iraq Saddam Hussein and his totalitarian regime launched a weapon of mass destruction and chemical attack on the Kurdish town of Halabja, which at that time was suspected of collaborating with Iran, killing thousands of civilians. Thirty-eight years later, thousands of survivors remain haunted by those traumatic experience,      In that chemical attack,  eleven members of my distant relatives were martyred during the bombing ordered by former dictator Saddam Hussein on March 16, 1988, in the town of Halabja, a Kurdish city located at the edge of eastern Iraq and the high Iranian mountains. I remember we were making home made masks from coals and a piece of cloth shaped like the masks we wore during the Covid-19 Pandemic in preparation for another chemical attach as the regime did not hesitate to crush the Kurdish dissident voices and those who revolted against his tyrannica...
