Iranian commentary says US actions undermine global peace

A commentary published by Mehr News argues that the United States, along with Israel, has created a volatile situation in the region and globally through military actions against Iran. The article states that the primary cause of the lack of global peace is the disregard shown by world powers for international regulations. It notes that after World War II, nations established the United Nations and the Security Council to prevent future conflicts, yet today the US unilaterally attacks countries it chooses, ignoring the views of Security Council members and the international community.

The commentary claims that the US had expected to quickly achieve its objectives and force Iran to surrender, but instead finds itself in the position of a defeated nation. It says that not only Iran holds this view, but global experts also believe the US has failed both politically and militarily and stands in opposition to global peace. The war instigated by the US led to a rise in energy costs, which in turn drove up prices of general commodities and food worldwide. In response to American aggression, and acting on the principle of legitimate self-defense, Iran took deterrent measures to manage the Strait of Hormuz in a manner that served its own interests and countered US warmongering. These events negatively impacted energy prices, and the US continues to perpetuate a state of war through its maritime blockade of Iran, the article says.

The commentary lists US acts of aggression, including the assassination of Iran’s martyred leader and the killing of numerous civilians and schoolchildren in Minab and Lamerd, stating these ran counter to global peace and destabilized the region. It adds that by betraying diplomacy and disregarding the agreement with Iran signed at the presidential level, the US has maintained a state of war. In the West Asia region, the article says the Zionist regime, taking advantage of global silence, has placed Gaza under immense pressure and commits war crimes daily. It further states that Israel has attacked the West Bank and now seeks to occupy parts of Lebanon, with its warmongering fueled by unwavering US support, thereby jeopardizing regional and global peace.

The commentary also mentions that Saudi Arabia, acting through its proxies in Yemen, has imposed an aerial blockade against Ansarullah, a group fighting the Zionist regime in defense of Palestine. This prompted Ansarullah to close the Bab al-Mandab Strait to Saudi Arabia. All these developments are backed by Washington, which seeks to boost US arms manufacturing companies, according to the article. Furthermore, the Ukraine crisis remains unresolved; the US and Europe continue to fuel the war by supporting Ukraine and supplying it with weapons, leaving no positive outlook for the country's future.

The solution for establishing global peace lies in nations returning to compliance with international laws and norms, the commentary concludes. If a rogue state like the US refuses to abide by these laws, the rest of the world must stand up to it and manage the situation; otherwise, these conflicts will persist, and wars will erupt in other parts of the globe as well.
