Grammar Rules

Conjunction وَ (and)
وَإِن (And if) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Conditional (if/when)
وَإِن (And if) introduces a condition — "if this happens, then that happens".
We translate it as "if" or "when".

Sahih International

And if they break their oaths after their treaty and defame your religion, then combat the leaders of disbelief, for indeed, there are no oaths [sacred] to them; [fight them that] they might cease.
