TRIPOLI, (CAJ News) — AISHA Gaddafi, daughter of Libya’s late leader Muammar Gaddafi, has issued a stark warning to Iran’s leadership, urging Tehran not to negotiate with what she described as “a wolf,” and cautioning that the ultimate objective of Western powers is to weaken Iran and render it ungovernable, as she says was done to several Middle Eastern states.
She was referring to the United States as a wolf following the ongoing public protests in Iran that vandalised property with many people’s lives lost.
Drawing on Libya’s post-intervention experience by the United States and NATO, Aisha Gaddafi argued that concessions to Western powers invite betrayal rather than security.
“Negotiating with the wolf (US and Israel) will not save the lamb,” she said.
She warned that abandoning strategic deterrence would expose Iran to the same fate Libya suffered after NATO intervention, adding, “Don’t trust the West, or you’ll end up like Libya. Libya drowned in blood.”
Aisha maintained that pressure on Iran’s nuclear programme is designed to strip the country of its sovereignty and deterrence.
She insisted that maintaining strength is essential to preventing aggression by Israel and the United States, arguing that deterrence, not appeasement, preserves independence.
Addressing Iran’s leadership directly, she urged perseverance under sanctions and threats, saying any agreement with hostile powers “only delays your destruction.”
Her remarks resonated widely across the Global South, where commentators echoed her belief that Libya’s collapse stands as a warning.
Abid Tanjim Khan supported her position, stating, “She is correct, making nukes is the best solution for Security & Sovereignty of Iran.”
Piya Yaar concurred, saying, “This is a harsh and very bitter reality that has led Libya into a never-ending war. Today, Libya is left like a ruin in the world, where there are different groups everywhere who kill people and are enemies of each other.”
Other voices framed Iran’s current moment as one of resilience rather than isolation.
The Tradesman commented, “I don’t care what you guys do, but I stand with Iran today. The entire pack of wolves from the West, the entire spineless lot of Arabs, the Israelis — literally everyone against them, and yet there they stand, alone, ready to wage war.”
Shakib Saifi added, “She is absolutely right, and I have been saying the same thing for days. They just want to disarm Iran and destroy it, the same way they did with Libya, Syria, and Iraq.”
Ryan Maloo Roshan emphasized self-reliance, warning against foreign interference.
“So very true,” he said. “Iranian people must take care of the situation on their own. It’s difficult, it’s tough but don’t take help from your enemy. They will ruin you later on. Never forget the history of the US.”
Against this backdrop, large numbers of Iranians have recently taken to the streets in mass rallies to demonstrate solidarity with the state, projecting unity and defiance in the face of external pressure.
Supporters say these gatherings reflected the will of the majority, countering narratives that focused on smaller protests widely believed by many observers to be engineered projects of the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Israel’s Mossad aimed at destabilising Iran.
Following these events, Iran’s minister of foreign affairs spoke from a position of confidence, underscoring national resolve.
“Iran will not negotiate under threats, nor will it surrender its rights,” the minister said. “Our people have shown unity, our institutions are strong, and Iran will defend its sovereignty and dignity against any pressure.”
For supporters of Tehran’s stance, Aisha Gaddafi’s warning remains the central lesson: that strength, unity, and vigilance are viewed as the surest safeguards against the fate that befell Libya and other fractured states.
Analysts argue the episode reinforces calls for strategic patience, regional cooperation, and internal cohesion, asserting that sovereignty is best protected when nations resist coercion, misinformation, and externally driven agendas collectively worldwide.
