On January 3, a series of ** incidents occurred in the southeastern Iranian city of Kerman, both of which occurred near the road leading to the Soleimani grave and were separated by only 10 minutes. According to Iran, the device was placed in a crowded area and then detonated by remote control. The terrorist attack, which resulted in hundreds of deaths and injuries, has aroused strong indignation and pain among Iran** and the people.
The fact that this incident took place on the 4th anniversary of Soleimani's death makes people wonder if there was an intentional arrangement. Iran has pointed the finger at the United States and Israel, believing them to be behind the scenes. However, no group has yet claimed responsibility for the incident, so the true identity of ** has yet to be ascertained.
It is also possible that opposition forces within Iran were behind the attack. Iran has a long-standing hostile relationship with the Sunni armed Islamic State (ISIS), in which Soleimani played an important role in the coalition's fight against ISIS. Therefore, ISIS has an incentive to choose this moment to retaliate against Iran and to express their hatred by choosing the sensitive moment of Soleimani Day.
In addition, the Iranian Baloch separatist force "Justice Army" is also one of the possibilities**. Similar to Pakistan, Iran has Baloch enclaves and has been the subject of numerous separatist and terrorist attacks. The time interval between this series of ** events is very short, which is consistent with the activity pattern of the "Justice Army", so it is also possible that they are one of the ** behind the scenes. However, the "Justice Army" has been active in Afghanistan and Pakistan for a long time, and it is difficult for Iran to directly catch them.
This series of events highlights the intertwined internal and external threats facing Iran. While Iran has been facing external challenges from the United States and Israel, there is no doubt that the opposition and terrorist groups within Iran pose a greater threat to it. In fact, for a country like Iran, internal troubles are always more deadly than external ones.
Iran** has been committed to suppressing terrorist groups, but this series of incidents shows that they still face challenges in preventing and combating terrorism. Despite Iran's strong security forces and intelligence agencies, it is still able to exploit weak links to carry out attacks. This fact also exposes the fragility of Iran's internal security situation and the need to further strengthen counter-terrorism capabilities and measures.
At the same time, Iran faces the challenge of separatist forces. Iran's geographical location has made its border areas often harassed by separatist forces, often supported by its neighbors. Iran** needs to deal with the internal and external problems, and at the same time strengthen the internal unity and improve the sense of security and happiness of the people, so as to effectively curb the influence of separatist forces.
Iran has responded resolutely to the serial incidents, with Supreme Leaders Ayatollah Ali Ali Khamenei and Raisi defining the incidents as "terrorist acts" and vowing to make the attackers pay the price. Iran also declared a national moment of silence for the victims of the incident. In addition, Iran will try to unravel out the real ** in order to accuse the United States and Israel more convincingly.
In the future, Iran needs to strengthen its domestic security measures and improve its counterterrorism capabilities to prevent the recurrence of similar terrorist attacks. Iran also needs to govern internally, reduce internal contradictions and forces as much as possible, and increase domestic unity and stability. At the same time, Iran must use diplomatic means to enlist the support and help of the international community in order to increase its ability to respond to external threats.
In general, Iran faces threats from within and outside that need to be addressed with all its might. The results of the investigation into this series of events will have important implications for Iran's future actions and diplomatic strategies. It is hoped that Iran will quickly find out the truth and make wise decisions to ensure the security and stability of the country.
