Political assassinations of those at the levels of government leadership are continuing in the US-Zionist alliance's invasion of Iran, which has now passed eighteen days. Following Israel's killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Dr. Ali Larijani, who had been in the picture as the country's de-facto leader in his capacity as the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, and Basij paramilitary chief Gholamreza Soleimani were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Monday night. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz, who released the news of their killing, said that both of them "were eliminated overnight and joined the head of the annihilation program, Khamenei, and all the eliminated members of the axis of evil, in the depths of hell". However, Dr. Ali Larijani, whom the world hails as one of the leading personalities in academic scholarship and Kantian philosophy, is, to America and Israel, a hardened criminal with a bounty on his head who must be killed and sent to hell, and a "seed of the serpent." Earlier, when Khamenei was killed, the interpretation was that the mastermind of terror had been eliminated. Previously, the leaders of the Palestinian resistance movement, including the Hezbollah chief in Lebanon, were killed after being stamped with this diabolical label in religious terms. This is what the Yankee-Zionist alliance has been doing: giving a label of evil to a person, demonizing them through long-term propaganda, then hunting them down relentlessly, and ultimately killing them in cold blood. As they set out for aggression and war, what they do is: present their act as a holy mission; and portray those who fall victim to it and are hunted down as forces of the axis of evil who deserve that treatment. This is what the Zionist-American occupation alliance has been doing by taking God and religion as partners. When those seen as opponents are presented before the world as the enemy, the claim is that they are the world's only enemy, and that if they are annihilated, their region—and eventually the world—will achieve peace and progress. However, what happens is that once a person is annihilated, a new enemy is then sought. The Larijani murder is the latest example of that.
Trump set out to kill Khamenei with a fabricated story that he had attempted a political assassination against him. Netanyahu also joined in, declaring that the region would not be safe if Khamenei continued. They were not at peace even after killing the Supreme Leader. Then, the Israeli lie factory began producing new "villains" such as Mojtaba Khamenei and Dr. Ali Larijani. The never-ending Gaza-Palestine crisis, the previous twelve-day war against Iran, and the war against Iran that broke out at the end of last month and continues without end after eighteen days all prove that this will continue indefinitely. During a stage when the Gaza offensive had passed nine months, Israel's Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari himself stated that the Zionist method is not about enemy elimination or the permanent eradication of threats, but rather about temporarily weakening the enemy and preparing for the next strike when they grow again. He said that calling it an attack against Hamas is merely throwing dust in the eyes of the world, and that the concept of Hamas, which is rooted in the minds of the people, cannot be uprooted, a remark that had triggered a major controversy. An Israeli media outlet also commented at the time that this is exactly why the wars drag on without end. All wars of occupation are given a religious colour by calling them holy wars and defences against demon, also with the view that the people of the attacking nation can be kept in a state of emotional amnesia. U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth recently described the Iran war as a crusade based on divine order. The evidence he presented was the biblical verse from Psalms Chapter 144: "Blessed be the Lord my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle." He had no doubt that divine help in the Iran war was reserved for the Yankee-Zionist alliance. Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, strongly condemned this move to spread war frenzy by using God's name as a partner. He reminded that dragging God's name into this war and any other war like this is the gravest sin that one can commit. He added that this war "is first and foremost political and has very material interests, like most wars". He added "If God is present in this war, He is among those who are dying, who are suffering, who are in pain, who are oppressed in various ways, throughout the Middle East". What Cardinal Pizzaballa said is spot on. However, in an age where devils preach the gospel, who is there to listen to the advocates of divine truth?
