In a sharply worded statement posted on social media, he accused Washington of using diplomacy as a smokescreen while quietly advancing military designs. ‘Once again, America has used negotiations as a tool of deception,’ he said, adding that former U.S. President Donald Trump’s so called ‘Board of Peace’ was, in reality, a ‘Board of War.’

His remarks come at a time when tensions in the region are already running high, with fears that a single spark could ignite a broader confrontation. Rehman argued that the latest strike is not an isolated episode but part of a long pattern of intervention that has left several Muslim-majority nations shaken and unstable over the past quarter century.

‘The entire region is being pushed into war,’ he said, claiming that powerful states are pursuing ‘sinister objectives’ at the cost of ordinary people’s safety and stability. He also criticized what he called the silence of Muslim leadership, urging rulers across the Islamic world to ‘open their eyes before it is too late.’

In his statement, Rehman referred to remarks attributed to the U.S. ambassador to Israel regarding a proposed ‘Greater Israel,’ suggesting that such ideas reveal deeper strategic ambitions. He warned that these ambitions, if unchecked, could redraw political lines in ways that inflame divisions rather than heal them.

Turning his focus inward, the Pakistani leader delivered a blunt message to Islamabad. ‘Pakistani rulers should remember this lesson well. America is no one’s true friend,’ he declared, implying that foreign alliances built on shifting interests can quickly turn fragile.

Political analysts note that such strong rhetoric reflects growing unease in parts of South Asia over escalating Middle Eastern tensions. While Washington and Tel Aviv have defended their security policies in the past as necessary for regional stability, critics argue that repeated military actions often deepen distrust and fuel long-term unrest.

As the situation unfolds, observers fear a dangerous cycle, action followed by reaction, strike followed by retaliation. In a region already burdened by conflict, even calculated moves can spiral beyond control.

For now, Rehman’s message is clear and uncompromising, the Middle East stands at a crossroads, and decisions made today may shape its fate for decades to come.
