🚨WTF Alert: Iran’s Proxies Ghosted On Oct 7

👁️‍🗨️ This Blog uses WTF strictly in the context of: Weird, True & Freaky. Not as profanity. Unless the Ayatollahs start tweeting it.

Act I: The Great Proxy Flop – Tehran’s Surprise No-Show

Imagine a superhero flop where the cape just flops—it’s that absurd. Enter Hassan Al-Moraib, a Lebanese Sunni Islamic scholar, who dropped the bombshell this June: Iran, despite claiming solidarity with Gaza and Lebanon, did not fire a single missile on October 7. The implication? If Tehran had acted then, perhaps Gaza wouldn’t be leveled, and Lebanon spared a bloody blow. But no, that “nuclear umbrella” only comes out now—solely to guard Iran’s nukes.

Here’s the deal: Hezbollah, Iran’s so-called “long arm,” took catastrophic hits—Lebanese suburbs turned to rubble, thousands of fighters killed, the group’s leadership shattered. Even the notorious Nasrallah bunker in Beirut? Obliterated in a precision strike. And still, Iran stayed uncharacteristically mute. WTF?

Act II: Nasrallah Drops – RIP the Fear Factor

Let’s pause for a moment of historical theater. On September 27, 2024, in a quiet Beirut suburb, Israeli jets leveled Hassan Nasrallah’s stronghold. The result? Virtually no survivors among senior leadership; Hezbollah’s command decapitated and morale evaporated. A massive funeral procession followed in early 2025, but beneath the veneer of mourning, whispers of disillusionment grew. Hezbollah lost not just its leader but its aura—people observed a celebrity send-off, but no fanfare of loyalty. The fear tactic shriveled. Iran’s grand puppets lost their strings.

Act III: Proxy Apocalypse – Hezbollah’s Ground Zero

Since that strike, Lebanon has resembled a war zone movie set. Hezbollah has reportedly lost nearly half its fighters, with weapons caches seized by Lebanese forces or destroyed. Border regions once teeming with missiles are now under state control. Iran’s grip in Syria? Crumbled. Its regional network—crippled. So when Al-Moraib criticizes Iran for sacrificing its proxy without so much as a symbol of support, he’s hitting a nerve. Proxy gone rogue? More like proxy dismantled. That’s a WTF moment Tehran can't explain away.

Act IV: Delay Drama – Nukes Over Allies

Fast-forward to 2025, and Tehran finally starts firing... but only in defense of its nuclear program. Apparently, missile salvos activate exclusively upon its nuclear sites being threatened. That’s akin to pulling the hero card only when it’s super personal. It’s not solidarity—it’s self-preservation.

To quote Al-Moraib: “Today, Iran is defending itself and its nuclear program, so it should not pretend to do us any favors.” Harsh, but bluntly true. People want protection, not nuclear panic mode.

Act V: Sunni–Shia Bombshell – Ancient Rivalries Unveiled

In a twist straight out of a history book, Al-Moraib asserts Iran hates Sunnis more than Jews. That’s a bold statement, citing sectarianism that stretches back to the bloody Battle of Karbala in 680 CE. According to him, Iran sees Sunnis as the murderers of Prophet Hussein—making Sunni lives fair game, even women and children. That’s a medieval mindset in 2025. Seriously WTF.

Act IV: Delay Drama – Nukes Over Allies (a.k.a. The Great Persian Goosechase)

By 2025, the joke in every Middle Eastern café was the same: Iran’s missiles come with a GPS that only recognizes Natanz and Fordow. After playing dead for months while Israel dismembered Hezbollah and the U.S. Air Force vaporized half of Iran’s drone factories by remote control, the Islamic Republic finally remembered it had a missile arsenal. But not for Gaza. Not for Lebanon. Not for Nasrallah’s charred bunker. No—Tehran’s missiles only got airborne when someone sneezed near a centrifuge.

It was a classic late entry. Iran, who spent October 7 through April watching its proxies bleed, suddenly sprang to life—not because it cared about the Ummah, but because it smelled uranium under threat. It was like watching someone ignore their burning house because the Wi-Fi router was safe—until a drone hit the router.

As Sheikh Al-Moraib dryly put it: “Today, Iran is defending itself and its nuclear program, so it should not pretend to do us any favors.” Translation: The Ayatollahs don’t launch for love of Jerusalem, but to preserve their right to enrich uranium to 89% in peace.

This wasn’t about martyrdom or resistance—it was about regime survival. The missiles weren’t a declaration of war. They were a declaration of, “Hey, please don’t bomb the lab where we keep the stuff that gets us attention at the UN.”

Israel and the United States had called Tehran’s bluff. When the IDF and USAF took out 80% of Iran’s regional infrastructure in 12 days, Iran didn't retaliate for Gaza or for Nasrallah. It retaliated for IR-6 centrifuges and warhead blueprints. WTF solidarity? It’s the Islamic Republic’s version of self-care.

Crowd Comments – Unfiltered Reactions

“Iran skipped their ‘hero moment,’ then shows up late to their own party.”
“Proxy wars called. Iran RSVP’d 'no.'”
“Sectarian war baggage: It’s 2025, folks.”
“Nukes > people? That’s just bonkers maths.”

Finale: Lessons from the Oblate’s War

Here’s the WTF summary, folks: if you pitch your country as a defender of the region but skip every battlefield except your own yard, you’ve failed the solidarity test. Iran’s logic is as twisted as using your mom’s selfie for a selfie stick. Allies count—always.

So, the next time you see Tehran posture about protecting Gaza or Beirut, remember the ghost proxy of October 7 and ask: did they show up for the fight or just the photoshoot?

That’s the WTF takeaway.

👁️‍🗨️ WTF? Weird, True & Freaky—just like Iran’s “selective solidarity.”
