Why did the extremist group "Islamic State" attack Iran?

On the first weekend of 2024, talk about something interesting.

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is not over yet.

All we can see is information from the Palestinian Government in Gaza. According to data released by the health department of the Gaza Strip on January 4, 22,438 Palestinians have been killed and more than 57,000 injured since the start of the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Some 125 people have been killed and 318 injured in the past 24 hours as the Gaza Strip continues to be under attack.

In this conflict, Israel has been criticized as the strongest, and the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip has indeed won sympathy by complaining about the weakness on a daily basis. Therefore, more people think that Israel is unjust, and justice is on the side of Hamas.

Some people say that it is not Hamas that is the civilian population of the Gaza Strip, but that Hamas is the democratically elected leader of the government in the Gaza Strip and that the Hamas militants are the heroes of the place.

A recent survey conducted by the Palestinian Centre for Social Research found that 72 percent of Palestinians believe that Hamas's large-scale sneak attack on Israel on October 7 last year was the "right" decision, while 22 percent thought it was "incorrect." Among them, 57 percent of the people in the Gaza Strip and 82 percent of the people in the West Bank agreed. There are American think tanks in this research center, mainly conservative academics in the United States, who are staunch pro-Israel factions, and they don't speak for Hamas, so the investigation is credible.

The survey found that Hamas's approval rating in the Gaza Strip rose to 42 percent from 38 percent before the conflict, and in the West Bank, Hamas saw its support rise sharply from 12 percent to 44 percent. Fifty-two percent of Gaza people are satisfied with Hamas's performance in the new round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, while 85 percent of people in the West Bank are satisfied with it, believing that Fatah is a puppet government, the equivalent of Wang's puppet regime.

Therefore, it is not a conflict between Hamas and Israel, or a Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and it is not as simple as destroying Hamas, but who is Hamas?

It can be seen that the complexity of this issue is not simply right or wrong.

As a result, many people have scolded Israel, not only in China, but all over the world for being inhumane. What is more, it is Israel that has brought war and disaster to the Arab region, and if Israel is not destroyed, there will be no peace in the Middle East.

This voice is strong on the Chinese Internet and can be seen in the comments of various articles. Of course, there are not many articles with such views, which are mainly reflected in the spraying level.

So, is there peace in the Middle East without Israel?

The Iran-Iraq war has been fought for eight years, and it seems that there is nothing Israel to do; the war in Syria does not seem to have anything to do with Israel; the civil wars in Yemen and Lebanon have nothing to do with Israel; although the Yemeni Housai and the Lebanese Pearl Party are both waving the national banner of opposing Israel, their real goal is the domestic government, not Israel. So, even if Israel is eliminated, there can be no peace in the Middle East, and all these things over the years have been related to Iran.

Everyone believes that Iran supports not only the Israeli and Syrian regimes of Assad, but also the Yemeni Housquire, the Lebanese Pearl Party, and Hamas.

At the beginning of the new year, Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Hamas were at loggerheads, and the result was a bomb attack in Iran.

On January 3, the fourth anniversary of the attack on Soleimani, the hero of Iran and former deputy commander-in-chief of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was held in the Iranian city of Kerman, and on the side of the road leading to the cemetery where Soleimani's grave is located, two explosives suddenly exploded, causing a large number of casualties among the people who gathered along the road to commemorate the death of Soleimani, and the two explosions have killed 95 people and injured more than 200.

At first, Iran said it was Israel. Israel doesn't squeak either, you can say whatever you like, I only hit Hamas.

There are also many people in China who believe that the Israeli intelligence organization Mossad is the source of terrorist attacks in the Middle East, and that the bombing in Iran must have been carried out by the Israeli Mossad.

As a result, yesterday, the extremist group "Islamic State" issued a statement claiming responsibility for the two bombings. I did it, not Israel.

The purpose of the extremist group "Islamic State" is to establish a pure and pure Islamic state, and of course it must also eliminate Israel, which is also Iran's goal, but Iran's goal has non-Islamic Persian feelings.

This time, the extremist group "Islamic State" issued a statement saying that it was not the remote-controlled bomb you were talking about, but that two attackers had carried out a suicide bomb attack in the city of Kerman, and presented video footage and other evidence. The method is primitive and crude.

So why is the "Islamic State" attacking Iran?

Because Iran helped Syria Assad to fight them, and Soleimani was the commander of this.

Interestingly, Soleimani was killed on January 3, 2020 by a remotely controlled and precision strike of an American MQ-9 "Reaper" drone, and later the United States released the video, and Trump also congratulated Soleimani on his death, saying that Soleimani was responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans, Iraqis and Iranians.

In fact, the first purpose of the "Islamic State" is to oppose Western and anti-American values, and what is interesting is that the United States fights the "Islamic State", but it also opposes the Assad regime in Iran and Syria

So the Middle East problem, the Arab world's problem, is not an Israeli problem.

The root cause of ISIS's attack on Iran is the conflict between Sunnis and Shiites, and the conflict between the two Muslim sects is the real life-and-death.

There are huge differences between Sunni and Shia in terms of the foundation of faith, the content of testimony, the identity of the leader, the belief in the Messiah, the way of prayer, and the school of jurisprudence.

There are now nearly 2 billion Muslims in the world, of which 85% are Sunnis, mainly in more than 40 countries including Saudi Arabia, while Shiites account for 10%, mainly in Iran, and a few in Iraq and Syria.

One of the main contradictions between the two factions is who is the leader.

Sunnis believe that the political and religious leaders of Muslim societies should be elected by Muhammad's companions or their successors, and not necessarily by Muhammad's blood relatives. The Sunni emphasis on elections, of course, is not the modern universal suffrage, but is elected among Muhammad's companions or their successors, similar to elite elections, and cannot be inherited by blood. This is one of them.

The second is that Sunnis believe that leaders are ordinary people, not gods. He does not have a sacred status or special knowledge, but their role is to uphold the laws and traditions of Islam.

The Shiites, on the other hand, believe that the leaders are the spiritual and moral leaders of the Muslim community, who should be the direct descendants of Muhammad, namely Ali and his son Hussein, and their twelve successors, who are of proper blood and cannot be elected. And the leaders of the Muslim society are innocent, with divine authority and secret knowledge, equivalent to God, and their role is to explain the truth of Islam and guide the behavior of Muslims.

If this matter cannot be resolved, there will be no peace in the Middle East.
