Just a few days ago, a missile struck the Iranian embassy in Syria, killing 13 people. This tragic event was like a burning fire that ignited the explosive keg of contradictions between Iran and Israel. Immediately afterward, Iran fired dozens of missiles and drones, fiercely returning fire at Israeli targets.
This sudden military conflict shocked the whole world like a bombshell. Once upon a time, the Middle East seemed to have embarked on the road of peaceful development, but who would have thought that the flame of enmity was already ready to be ignited? When the flames of war were rekindled, the smoke of gunpowder erupted everywhere, the confrontation between the two sides became more and more intense, and the entire Middle East region was plunged into chaos and turmoil.
At an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, Iran's Permanent Representative to the UN, Amir Said Irawani, officially stated Iran's position. He said Iran's actions were all about exercising its "inherent right to self-defense" and were a "necessary and reciprocal" counterattack. The operation targeted military targets precisely and acted cautiously to minimize escalation and civilian casualties.
Irawani pointed the finger at Israel and the Security Council. He criticized the Israeli attack as an "atrocity" and accused the Security Council of failing to fulfil its responsibilities to maintain peace. He condemned the United States, Britain and France for vetoing the draft resolution condemning Israel in favour of Israel. Iran has "no choice" but to exercise its right to self-defense in accordance with international law.
On the other hand, the Israeli side lashed out at Iran's actions. The Israeli Prime Minister called Iran's actions an "unprecedented act of terrorism" that seriously threatens Israel's national security. He vowed to "fight back relentlessly."
At the meeting, UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for an immediate cessation of hostilities between the two sides, reiterating that attacks on a country and attacks on diplomatic premises are violations of international law. He warned that neither the Middle East nor the world could afford the brunt of a new war.
This sudden conflict has heightened tensions in the Middle East. Both sides are tense and ready to fight. As once sworn enemies, the roots of hatred between Iran and Israel go back to the last century. The confrontation between them has always been full of gunpowder, which can ignite the flames of war at any time.
The trigger for this conflict appears to have been Israel's attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria. This is undoubtedly a major provocation against Iran, which provoked an angry counterattack from Iran. This is not only a challenge to Iran's national sovereignty, but also a flagrant violation of international law.
There is also some controversy over whether Iran's missile launch at Israel conforms to the principle of "self-defense" in international law. According to the UN Charter, the exercise of the right of self-defence should meet the criteria of "necessity" and "reciprocity". Iran claims that its actions are "necessary and reciprocal", while Israel categorically dismisses Iran's actions as naked "terrorism".
Historically, conflicts between Iran and Israel are often difficult to summarize simply by the word "self-defense." The intricate entanglement of interests between the two sides, as well as the antagonism of religion, ideology and geopolitics, are the triggers. The essence of this conflict is that two powerful Middle Eastern countries are fighting for regional influence.
In addition, we cannot ignore the role of the United States in the whole affair. As Israel's "protective umbrella" in the Middle East, the United States seems to be acquiescing in and even instigating Israel's actions. By vetoing the condemnation resolution at the Security Council, the United States is emboldening Israel's actions.
Overall, this sudden military confrontation between Iran and Israel has once again pushed the Middle East to the brink of instability. As old enemies, both countries have complex entanglements of interests that cannot be resolved. At present, it seems that it is difficult for the two sides to turn hostility into peace, and once the flames of war rage, the entire region will suffer tremendous damage and turmoil.
We can only hope that the efforts of the United Nations and the international community, as well as the wisdom of the leaders of both sides, will be able to prevent this dangerous domino effect from spreading further. Otherwise, the Middle East will fall back into a nightmare of war and become the bane of global instability.
Epilogue:
War is never a solution to problems. The contradictions between Iran and Israel have a long history, and both sides are distracted and suspicious of each other. This sudden military conflict, like a bombshell, once again pushed the Middle East to the brink of turmoil.
It is our fervent hope that both sides will restrain their impulses and cease hostilities. The Middle East has been ravaged by too many wars to withstand the catastrophe of a new war. As regional powers, both Iran and Israel shoulder the heavy responsibility of maintaining peace, and should replace blind confrontation with wise restraint.
At the same time, the international community should also play an active mediating role and urge the two sides to resolve their differences through dialogue. The UN Security Council should strictly enforce its peacekeeping duties, uphold the spirit of the rule of law, and condemn any violation of international law. Only by adhering to the principles of the international rule of law can there be truly lasting peace in the Middle East.
We hope that the two sides will listen to the voice of reason, put aside prejudices and prejudices, and reach a reconciliation on the basis of mutual understanding. War never brings peace, only more hatred and pain. Only by being tolerant and understanding can we lift the road to the Middle East and regain hope for peace, stability and development.
