After the Iranian scientist was killed, the senior general was attacked and killed?

Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The news seems to be fake news

  [Global Times reporter Li Rui Zhang Jidan] Not long after the attack on Iranian nuclear physicist Fahrizad, who shocked the world, foreign media reported that another senior Iranian general was killed in the attack.

Reuters quoted a local Iraqi official as saying on the 1st that an Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Commander was killed by a drone on the border between Syria and Iraq.

In this regard, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Khatibzad said on the 1st that he has not yet received a report of relevant content, and the news seems to be fake news.

  Reuters reported that last weekend, an armed vehicle carrying the commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and three other escorts was hit by an air strike after crossing the Syrian-Iran border from the Iraqi side. All four people in the vehicle were killed.

The report quoted local Iraqi officials as saying that they could not confirm the identity of the attacked commander.

Saudi Arabian TV quoted Iraqi security sources as saying that the attacked general was the senior commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Muslim Shahdan, and the airstrike was launched by a drone. The specific time was early in the morning of November 30 or 29. Later in the day.

  In addition to denying the rumors of the attack on the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander, Khatibzad said that for the assassination of Fahrizzad, he has received calls from many countries strongly condemning the attack.

But Iran hopes that neighboring countries and some countries that advocate human rights should condemn it more severely.

He also said that Iran has written to the United Nations requesting an investigation into the matter.

Earlier, Iran condemned Israel as the real murderer of Fahrizad and a "mercenary" of the United States.

  "Iran reminds the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that the organization bears direct and primary responsibility for the killing of Fahrizad." Iranian News Television reported on this topic on November 30 that Iran’s permanent representative to the IAEA said. Zim Garibabadi severely accused the organization of keeping silent on the assassination of Fahrizad that day.

Gary Babadi said that the IAEA should fulfill its responsibilities and express condemnation for the murder of Fahrizad.

  At the same time, there are differences in Iran's domestic position on the Iran nuclear agreement.

According to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency on the 1st, Iran’s Islamic Parliament passed a draft resolution on first reading that day, but it was opposed by the cabinet.

According to the draft, Iran should break a series of restrictions in the Iran nuclear agreement and extract enriched uranium with an abundance of 20%.

At present, in order to express its dissatisfaction with the United States’ unilateral withdrawal from the Iran nuclear agreement, Iran has broken the 3.67% upper limit of the enriched uranium abundance stipulated in the Iran nuclear agreement. 90% required.

The draft also requires that if the parties to the Iran nuclear agreement fail to lift sanctions on Iran’s oil, gas and financial sectors within one month, the Iranian government should terminate the UN’s supervision of Iran’s nuclear facilities.

  According to reports, the draft resolution is Iran’s response to the killing of Fahrizad and removes the first obstacle for Iran to get rid of the control of the Iran nuclear agreement.

Currently, the draft resolution needs to be read a second time in Parliament and passed by the clergy before it can become law.

According to reports, the Iranian parliament, dominated by hardliners, has been asking the country to maintain a hardline stance on the nuclear issue, but it has not succeeded.

Iranian government spokesman Ali Rabie said on the 1st that the Iranian cabinet opposed the draft resolution because it would not provide any help to lift the sanctions.

He also said that according to the Constitution, the nuclear agreement and nuclear program are under the jurisdiction of the Supreme National Security Council, and the parliament cannot deal with this issue alone.

  "If Britain, France and Germany do not act again, after Bi takes the stage, the only option left to him is most likely to continue to escalate tensions with Iran." According to the British "Guardian" report on the 1st, the United Kingdom is responsible for Middle East and North Africa affairs. Former Deputy Foreign Minister Alistair Burt, former Swedish Prime Minister Karl Bilt, former NATO Secretary-General Javier Solana and many other former senior European officials issued a joint statement through the European Council on Foreign Relations, urging European countries to play The role of the mediator is to give Iran a clear road map to "reverse nuclear activities" from now until Biden is sworn in on January 20, and calls on Biden to announce the return of the United States to the Iran nuclear agreement as soon as he takes office.

  The statement said that although Biden’s election is a signal of relaxation, it cannot prevent those who are determined to prevent the United States and Iran from returning to the negotiating table from sabotage. With the assassination of Fahrizad, such concerns have grown. Heavier.

Before Biden takes power, Europe should remind Iran not to hold on to the United States through all existing diplomatic channels. Any conflict will complicate the situation.

The Guardian believes that Europe should keep in touch with countries that do not like the Iran nuclear agreement, such as the United States, and tell them the benefits of the agreement.

  On December 16, the signatories of the Iran nuclear agreement will hold a joint meeting in Vienna to discuss how to maintain the validity of the agreement.

According to the Guardian, there are only a few weeks left before Biden takes office. For Iran, waiting for the United States to return to the Iran nuclear agreement is more rewarding than taking retaliatory measures against the United States.

Although the possibility of retaliation cannot be completely ruled out, Iran’s actions are expected to be very limited, including supporting armed groups in Syria and Iraq to attack Israeli military targets.

According to reports, the Trump administration’s recent decision to withdraw troops from Iraq and Afghanistan means that the United States has no appetite for the Middle East dispute, even though Trump has consulted on the feasibility of bombing Iran.
