Jews as Instigators of the Iran-Ottoman War

Source: [JS Center](https://jscenter.ir/jewish-methods/jews-and-politics/3866)

Allah the Almighty, in the noble verses of the Holy Quran, repeatedly identifies the Jews and (distorted) Judaism as the primary enemies of Muslims, especially the believers:

"You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allah; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, 'We are Christians.' That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant." (Quran 5:82)

The Jews have always considered themselves the masters of creation and sought to establish the Promised Land—their earthly paradise. They view Palestine (Jerusalem) as this land and have historically attempted to seize it from Muslims.

The Habsburg Empire (Spain), which had Jewish advisors such as Isaac Abravanel, Luis de Santángel, and Gabriel Sanchez, repeatedly waged war against the Ottoman Empire to capture Jerusalem. However, due to the Ottomans' military strength, they failed.

Jewish Conspiracy to Ignite the Iran-Ottoman War

The Jews sought to:
1. Divert Ottoman attention from Europe to the East.
2. Overthrow the first Shia Islamic government—the Safavid Empire.

To achieve these goals, they orchestrated a plot to incite war between Iran and the Ottomans.

Infiltration into the Ottoman Court & Harem
Infiltration into royal courts and harems has been a long-standing Jewish strategy, as seen in the story of Esther. This time, the Jews placed Roxelana (Hurrem Sultan) in the harem of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent.

Historians confirm that Hurrem Sultan’s provocations shifted Ottoman aggression from Europe toward Iran and the Shia Muslims. Her influence contributed to the decline of the once-mighty Ottoman Empire.

While some doubt Hurrem Sultan’s religion, strong evidence suggests she was Jewish:
- Her son, Selim II, was rumored to be of Jewish descent.
- Nurbanu Sultan (Selim II’s wife) was confirmed Jewish, further fueling suspicions.

"Perhaps the rumors of Selim II’s Jewish lineage stemmed from doubts about Roxelana’s true faith." (1)

Manipulating Sultan Suleiman to Attack Iran
Sultan Suleiman was opposed to war with Muslim lands, considering it a red line. However, Hurrem Sultan and her Jewish circle engineered a strategic shift:
- They promoted anti-Shia propaganda.
- Redirected Ottoman military campaigns from Europe to Iran.
- Protected the Habsburg Empire by diverting Ottoman forces eastward.

After Hurrem Sultan’s death (1556), Nurbanu Sultan (a Jewish woman) took over as the leader of the war faction in the Ottoman court, continuing hostilities against Iran.

Modern Confirmation: Jewish Rabbis Justify Espionage
In 2010, a Jewish rabbi in Israel openly justified using women for espionage, citing the story of Esther:
"Female Mossad agents are permitted to engage in any sexual act with enemies to complete their mission—just as Esther hid her Jewish identity and married the Persian king (Ahasuerus/Xerxes) to save her people."
