Thundering vengeance awaiting perpetrators of violence and wars

Diplomacy, if there is sincerity in talks, resolves many a complicated issue and averts potential conflicts, but for those whose sole aim is terrorism, whether economic or military, negotiations have no meaning, and it is essential that these terrorists should be brought to account.

The following is a Viewpoint Column that appeared in Iran’s English language daily ‘Kayhan International’ on Sunday, July 14, titled: “Thundering Vengeance Awaiting Perpetrators of Violence and Wars”.

Kayhan International said: “Terrorism robs the terrorists, whether state or non-state actors, of commonsense by making them embark on a policy of crimes against humanity, which sooner or later is bound to boomerang with such a thundering vengeance that the perpetrators of violence and wars who try to destabilize indomitable and principally righteous nations, vanish forever from the world scene.

“For any conscientious reader of history this has been the fate of terroristic cults and of terroristic empires that are no more today. This means, the modern day terrorists, whether the non-state actors indulging in macabrely murderous methods or the super terrorist states which manufacture weapons of mass massacre, are only a passing phase in the history of mankind, before they are wiped out like cobwebs.

“This was the gist of the interview aired by al-Manar TV on Friday with the Head of Lebanon’s legendry anti-terrorist movement, the Hezbollah.

“Seyyed Hassan Nasrollah’s words showed the political prudence of a venerable religious personality and were prophetic. They were a remarkably accurate analysis of the situation in the region, which is threatened by both the Zionist implant called Israel, and the intruding American forces that have no right to meddle in this part of the world.

“As a matter of fact, the interview of the Master of Resistance ought to serve as a warning to all mischief-makers and warmongers against playing with fire, since one wrong move and they would be burned to nothingness.”

Kayhan International wrote: “It, however, doesn’t mean that we want either Israel or the US to take heed of our warnings and survive for continuing their evil ways. No certainly not, we do like to see them evaporate as if they didn’t exist at all, and this would definitely happen as per God’s Promise which will materialize sooner or later.

“In the meantime, we are fully prepared to face any misadventure by these devilish forces, as the Leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah said in his interview: “If the US is foolish enough to ignite the flames of war in the region, Israel will be wiped out from the map of the Levant”.

“Seyyed Hassan Nasrollah, as all observers and analysts acknowledge, neither indulges in wishful thinking nor does he exaggerate anything, as is evident by his words and actions of the past twenty years since Israel was driven out of southern Lebanon in 2000, and then the myth of its invincibility was shattered beyond repair during the 33-day war it imposed on Lebanon in 2006.

“The Master of Resistance even displayed a map of Occupied Palestine and pinpointed with precision where the Hezbollah missiles will zero-in on the military and industrial targets by piercing the so-called iron dome of the enemy, since the “Zionist regime is weaker than a spider’s web”.

“And in case, the charlatan Benjamin Netanyahu were to translate his terroristic threat of using the US supplied F-35 aircraft to bomb the Islamic Republic, “Iran has the ability to bombard Israel with such ferocity and force” that will bring down the curtain upon Israel – as predicted by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei.”

As pointed out by Kayhan International: “The Head of Lebanon’s Hezbollah was quick to note that “when the US realizes that any war could wipe out Israel, it will indeed reconsider any hostile move”.

“He dismissed as sheer lie, Trump’s claim that loss of Iranian civilian life made him revoke his alleged order for attack, saying the US president had been warned by Iran through third parties of the Islamic Republic’s resolve to destroy all US bases and forces within reach of Iranian missiles, the moment the CENTCOM terrorists made any wrong move.

“He said the collective responsibility of all should be to work towards preventing any war, because Islam hates bloodshed and destruction.

“It was thus heartening to note that on Friday, the US House of Representatives voted to restrict President Donald Trump’s ability to wage war, voicing fear that his hawkish policies are pushing towards a needless military conflict with Iran, the consequences of which would be devastating for American military and economy.

“As for Iran’s presence in Syria, it is at the invitation of the legal government of President Bashar al-Assad, and whether Netanyahu or the US like it or not, Iran will not leave Syria in its crucial reconstruction phase after having helped the country to crush the terrorist groups which intended to create a ‘Takfiristan’ stretching from the shores of the Mediterranean Sea to the headwaters of the Persian Gulf at the southern tip of Iraq.

“Seyyed Nasrollah's interview which marked the 13^th anniversary of the start of the 33-day Israeli war, showed his full confidence of victory in any upcoming war with the Zionist entity. He said: “I’m certain of victory; God is with us.”

“Asked if he believes the liberation of Palestine will be achieved by the present generation or the next, he answered with remarkable clarity of vision: “It is all in the Hand of Allah, but based on logic, I have big hope that we will pray in al-Quds,” which means we will see in our lifetime the end of US/Zionist terrorism.”
