Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: As tensions between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States rise and the indirect talks scheduled to be held in Muscat, the capital of Oman, are likely to fail, social media, including in Afghanistan, is witnessing a wave of reactions, analyses, and concerns from users and activists. A review of comments posted by Afghan users on platforms such as Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) shows that users from different backgrounds, with different approaches, have warned of the consequences of a possible war, and at the same time have pointed to the role of third countries in inciting the conflict.

Fear of a global war; a wider damage than Covid-19
Concern about the spread of war to a global level is the most important common denominator among most users.
Yahya Hosseini has warned: "If Trump attacks Iran, it will not be a war of one week or one month. It will cost trillions of dollars and its effects will affect half the world. Even more than the losses of Covid-19."
He also pointed to America's failure in the Yemen war and wrote: "America, Israel and England could not stop a few Houthis, now how do they want to confront Iran, which has hundreds of thousands of precision-guided rockets?"
Angry reactions to the threats of America and the Zionist regime
Some users have also harshly supported Iran, calling the threats of the Zionist regime and America "illusory" and "self-destructive."
Einuddin Omari says: "The attack of America and Israel on Iran will be the end of this child-killing regime. Iran is neither Hamas nor Hezbollah. Their calculations are wrong."
Mohammad Farid also wrote: "America and the criminal Israeli regime will never dare to attack Iran. If they make a mistake, their terrorist camp in the Middle East will be destroyed."
Referring to the Zionist regime's nuclear program, Sadeq asks: "Why can Israel have a nuclear bomb but not Iran? Iran should target Israel's nuclear facilities so that the world can get rid of this cancer."
The risk of global economic collapse and the decline of the dollar
Some users have looked at the issue from an economic perspective and believe that America will suffer the most if war breaks out.
Motahari has warned: "An attack on Iran is a dead end for the US dollar. The price of oil will reach $200, the US economy will become more indebted, and a war of attrition will be devastating for America."
Criticism of Trump's policies; from pharaonicism to false provocation
Some have also compared Donald Trump's behavior to dictators and legendary figures.
Hassan Reza Hosseini wrote: "The Pharaoh once claimed to be a god, but he drowned in the Nile. Now this Pharaoh of the time, Trump, is seeking war with his ships. We are waiting for this man to drown."
Seyyed Asadollah Danish called Trump an "ignorant dictator" and warned: "If the American people remain silent, Trump will trap them in the quagmire of a world war; just like the fate of the Soviet Union."
Iran; a symbol of resistance and independence
A significant portion of users have also spoken proudly of Iran's military preparedness and its resistance to pressure.
Asadollah wrote to Hassan Salami: "Good luck, you are the only Islamic country that is confronting America and Israel, the rest are afraid."
Abdul Hamid Rahimi, referring to the experience of Afghanistan, said: "This is not Gaza or Libya, this is Iran. Afghanistan brought you to your knees when you were defenseless, now Iran is standing in front of you with full power."
Habib Aman also said: "Iran has resisted the toughest sanctions and maintained its internal strength. This is what true independence means."
Bright future or political illusion? Hopes and fantasies
Some users, amidst all the threats, hope for a bright future.
Seyyed Shahat Anwar wrote: "In the very near future, the people of the world will miss living in Iran. Iran will become one of the world's superpowers. We believe in the words of our leader: 'We are close to the summit.'"
Mohammad Hossein Fana also saw negotiation as the key to world peace and wrote: "If Trump and Iran negotiate honestly, a way may be found to ensure world peace and Trump may even win the Nobel Peace Prize!"
Dangerous tensions, emotional reactions, and an uncertain future
What emerges from the cyberspace among Afghan users is a reflection of anger, hope, warning, and resistance. Users have strongly criticized the provocative and war-mongering policies of the United States and the Zionist regime, while at the same time speaking about Iran’s domestic and regional capacities in confronting threats. In the meantime, in-depth economic and security analyses, concerns about the widespread humanitarian crisis, and the collapse of the global order are also very prominent.
As Saturday approaches, the fate of this crisis is tied to the Oman talks; a negotiation that may be the last chance to overcome a full-fledged crisis, but if these negotiations fail to yield results in the face of the unilateral and coercive demands of Trump and his colleagues, the path to resistance is open, and the Islamic Republic’s deterrent power is certainly sufficient to prevent America from making another big mistake.
