“Aisha Gaddafi publicly warned the Iranian people that making concessions to the West does not lead to peace.”

LONDON — Aisha Gaddafi, daughter of the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, has issued a strong public message to the people of Iran, warning them not to trust Western assurances of peace through negotiation. Speaking from exile in Oman, she drew direct parallels between Libya's decision to give up its weapons programmes in the early 2000s and the 2011 military intervention led by NATO, which resulted in the collapse of the Libyan state. “Giving concessions to the enemy brings nothing but destruction, division, and suffering.”

The text attributed to Aisha Gaddafi originally appeared in January 2026 on several social media platforms, being quickly picked up by influencers. A few days after the initial appearance of the text, the Jordanian news portal Khaberni published a disclaimer attributed to Aisha Gaddafi, in which she categorically denied the authenticity of the message circulating on the Internet. She said that she has “her own channels for expressing her political or humanitarian opinions and positions” and does not rely on “unofficial pages or platforms”.

Aisha Muammar Gaddafi, daughter of the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, categorically denied the authenticity of what was circulated on the 'Arab Iran' page regarding a message attributed to her and addressed to the Iranian people. The denial was issued in a statement from the media page representing the Gaddafi family, where Aisha expressed her 'surprise at her name being mentioned in this context' and affirmed that she has her 'own known channels to express her opinions and positions,' requesting the 'deletion of the falsely attributed message.'

'He believed, made concessions... and NATO bombs turned Libya into ruins.' She urged Iranians not to make concessions to the enemy, because they do not lead to peace, but only to destruction.

Aisha Gaddafi addressed an open letter to the Iranian people, warning them against trusting what she described as “the false promises of the West,” and urging them not to be swayed by the slogans and reassurances offered by Western powers in negotiation and political settlement files. She recalled Libya's experience after her father's regime abandoned its nuclear and missile programs in response to Western promises, which she said did not lead to stability but rather to NATO military intervention in 2011.

Aisha Gaddafi, daughter of the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and residing in Oman, issued an open letter to the Iranian people, calling on Iranians to “beware of being deceived by Western smiles and false promises.” In her message, she described her personal experience of the destruction that befell Libya after abandoning nuclear and missile programs and the West's promises to open doors, noting that this did not provide protection from military intervention and turning the country into ruins.

Aisha Gaddafi, daughter of Muammar Gaddafi, has historically issued public statements in Arabic through official Libyan channels or Arabic media. No verified records exist of her directly addressing Iran on nuclear concessions prior to 2026, and claims of English-language messages have been disputed as disinformation by fact-checking outlets.

Aisha, Gaddafi's only daughter and a trained lawyer, fled Libya with her mother, Safiya Farkash, and her brother Mohammed during the final weeks of the 2011 war. The family found refuge in Algeria, later moving to Oman in 2013, where they were granted political asylum. She has remained out of the public eye since, though recent reports indicate her public statements.

Aisha Gaddafi, whose country collapsed after trusting Western guarantees, addressed the Iranian public with a message shaped by Libya's experience... She is warning Iran about what happens after talks redefine expectations... This is the trap Aisha Gaddafi is pointing to: that guarantees will hold, but history does not support this optimism.
