Turning in the Time Language
At the beginning of the New Year, the U.S. military launched an air strike with drones and killed the Iranian Elite Force of the QUDS Force Middle Middot; Majessem Soleimani.
For world peace, this is definitely not a good sign, which is very likely to create a new form of international violence conflict.There are a large number of media reports of Sulemanni, and even regarded him as the second most powerful person after Iran's highest leader, Hamenei.Said that Sulemanni belongs to the Supreme Course of the Iranian government. It is both a military general and a political leader.In this way, U.S. President Trump directly ordered, the U.S. military blatantly assassinated an important foreign leader in the territory of the third country.
From a historical perspective, the most similar example was that during the Pacific War, the U.S. military intercepted and killed the Japanese Navy's general Yamamoto 56 in the Solo Islands of the South Pacific.It is also a controversial decision to intercept the decision -making Japanese troops and learn whether to intercept the itinerary plan. It is not just a bright assassination operation to many people.In the end, it is said that President Roosevelt personally took the board and was ordered by General Nimitz, commander of the Pacific Battlefield to order the annihilation of Yamamoto.The reason for the decision -making of the United States is that the two countries have declared war with each other, and any Japanese aircraft and personnel appearing on the Pacific battlefield are legitimate war goals.
Compared with the two aspects, the Trump administration's decisions have problems with both jurisprudence and morality.Although the United States and Iran are long -term opponents on the international stage, they have not officially declared war to enter the public state of war.Regardless of how many reasons and excuses Washington have, this is a assassination operation on the international stage against foreign leaders.
May wish to compare this with the events of the Korean agent who pierced South Korean president Quan Douhuan and killed many senior Korean officials in Yangon in 1983.At that time, North Korea and South Korea were not only hostile to each other, but they did not even officially end the state of war.However, Pyongyang so blatantly assassinated South Korean political leaders in the third country, which was regarded as terrorism and was strongly condemned by the international community, including Chinese official media.
During the Cold War, the U.S. government, especially intelligence agencies participating in the assassination of foreign leaders' plans and operations.The most fascinating thing is that the Central Intelligence Agency has repeatedly pierced Cuba's revolutionary leader Castro, and even attempts to use Castro's personal habits, while secret production will explode cigar.After the failure of the Vietnam War, the exposure of these assassination plans caused public dislikes and Congress investigations.Therefore, President Ford signed an administrative order in 1976 to formally ban political assassination.President Carter and President Reagan later issued new administrative orders and maintained the ban.
US Congress Senator Christdot; Chris Murphy recently acknowledged in Twitter that the United States has just assassinated Iran's most powerful No. 2 figure and did it without Congress.Because of the long -term demonization of Iran in the United States, Trump was able to interpret this blatant assassination as the military operation of the premier manner, and he would not suffer too much political trouble in China.
However, internationally, Uncle Sam can fight at will and assassinate foreign leaders, obviously created a precedent that will be imitated by others.Under the climate of globalization and decreased international cooperation, this precedent will only exacerbate the randomization of international violence conflicts, especially under the excuses of the premiere to protect their own interests and assassinate the political leaders of other countries.
Back to Iran itself.General Sulemanni has done for many years, it is really a dwelling head.Most of the reputation comes from the irony of his role in defeating the Islamic junior high school. This becomes a martyr. It cannot be regarded as an accident. When you come out, you always have to pay back.
However, for the Iranian government, this is a challenge that cannot be revealed, and like Washington, it is likely to start on the territory of the third country.The gate of the city was caught fire, and the pond fish was overwhelming.
There is also the problem of revenge on Iran.In contrast to the annual demonization of the United States and Sunni terrorism, the Iranian regime and its Shiite allies rarely actively engage in violent operations aimed at innocent civilians.In contrast, not only Israel has repeatedly launched the terrorist operation of assassination of Iranian scientists. In July 1988, the American missile cruiser Vincennes, which invaded the Iranian territorial waters, and shot down the Iranian civil aviation passenger aircraft 655, resulting in 290 passengers (including 66 children) and units.Personal death.
Iran did not retaliated with American passenger planes like the Libya Gaddafi regime afterwards.But in the face of uncle Sam's public assassination of national leaders, Tehran's response may also be unexpected.
