Soleimani's assassination; what consequences it holds for the United States

According to Middle East Monitor, the most important reason for America's assassination of General Soleimani was the country's inability to confront him.

The assassination of Qassem Soleimani by the United States, which was carried out by the order of "Donald Trump", has become the most important issue in the last three years, in a way that it has followed the reaction of the international circles and the public opinion of the world towards this matter and it continues after three years.

Among the reasons presented, what was emphasized as the most important reason for America's assassination of Qassem Soleimani was his decisive role in the victory of the axis of resistance against America and the weakening of this country's position in the region and the increase of Iran's role as the center of confronting America.

It was Soleimani's art to thwart America's divisive policies in the region. America, which despite its claim of super power, could not stand against Soleimani, decided to assassinate him. The approach that Washington always uses to eliminate its opponents against the resolutions and the UN Charter.

Marcos Tenorio, an international relations expert, says: January 3 invites us to reflect on the fight against terrorism on the one hand and to continue the fight for justice, freedom and sovereignty on the other hand; because on this date in 2020, Qassem Soleimani, commander of Iran's Quds Force, and Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, commander of Iraq's Hashd al-Shaabi, were assassinated in a terrorist attack by direct orders of Trump.

Although the US states that the reason for this action is Soleimani's support for the December 27, 2019 protests in front of the US Embassy in Baghdad, during which several American and Iraqi soldiers were killed and wounded, but everyone knows that the motives for Soleimani's assassination are more than these.

The most important reason for the assassination of Soleimani is his role in the victory of the resistance against America and the weakening of this country's position as the most powerful actor in the region and the increasing role of Russia, China and Iran to take America's place.

It is also clear that Soleimani's strategic actions were to cut off the flow of American and Israeli arms exports not only to ISIS and other terrorist groups in the Middle East, but also to other buyers in the region.

America, the world's largest arms producer, needs terrorist groups for its arms sales. The successive defeats of ISIS in Syria and Iraq and the decrease in US arms revenues were one of the hidden reasons behind this assassination.

The assassination of Soleimani and Al-Muhandis took place in non-combat conditions and in violation of Iraqi sovereignty and international conventions, so it is considered state terrorism. Although this action was a futile attempt by the US and its partners to contain the axis of resistance.

Soleimani played a decisive role in Hezbollah's victorious strategy in defeating the Zionist regime during the July 2006 war. He supported the confrontation of Ansarullah against Saudi Arabia and played a key role in the defeat of ISIS in Syria, as well as the formation and training of Hashd al-Shaabi, which is considered the cause of the defeat and collapse of ISIS in Iraq and parts of Syria.

However, the assassination of Qassem Soleimani undoubtedly had and will have consequences for America:

First, the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis took place outside of war conditions and was a violation of Iraqi sovereignty, conventions and international laws, and it can be considered a state terrorist act, and the US government can be considered as a terrorist.

Secondly, America's behavior showed that this country, despite its claim of superiority, is unable to confront its opponents and contrary to the practice, it seeks to eliminate its competitors and opponents through terror, which is considered a source of scandal for a country like America in the international arena.

The assassination of Qassem Soleimani caused the resistance to continue its path as a guaranteed legal right in accordance with international law until the final victory, and every day it is stronger and more determined than before.

Fourthly, the assassination of Qassem Soleimani severely reduced the trust in the United States in the international community and among the countries of the region, and this will mean a decrease in the authority and capability of the United States.

The final point is that with the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, thousands of Qassem Soleimani not only stepped into the field of military and fighting, but also in other fields such as cultural, social, artistic, scientific and economic fields, we are witnessing the birth of countless Qassem Soleimanis, whose danger is much greater than Qassem Soleimani himself, whom America attempted to assassinate with the help of its Zionist and Saudi agents.
