Nj. E. Hajrudin Somun; International Repercussions of Qasem Soleimani’s Assassination

Salaam to all dear friends who are watching and listening to us.

I am happy to be in the company of the new Iran ambassador in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and alongside Mr Hodžić. I am glad to be at this house, the house of culture and of the Islamic spirit – the “Ibn Sina” Institute, where I always arrive with joy to breathe in such a culture and civilisation. I thank the director, Mr Barani who organised our gathering.

As I already mentioned in my previous talk: … As they would not dare to attack Iran. I take this opportunity to remind you, as I have been saying for the last ten years, that neither America nor Israel would dare to attack Iran. Now, everything is different, one thing is the entire world of the Middle East, the other thing is when one puts all Arabic states on one side, and the third thing is Iran. 30-40 years ago when wars waged between Israel and the Arabic world, our people here in Bosnia and Herzegovina, former Yugoslavia, would ask themselves: How is it possible that 2-3 million of Israeli people can go against one hundred million of Arabs. It was a completely different time, but it is another thing to have on one side of the war the Arabs, the Arabic countries, and on the other side to have Iran.

Former speakers addressed the murder of the scientist Mohsen Fakhrizade, so I would like to add something which came to my mind once I heard about the murder in the close proximity of Tehran. In fact, those are divided roles in the space divided against the independent, strong Iran. The roles have been allotted by American, the strong administration of the American president Trump and the Israeli administration of the Prime Minister Netanyahu. Thus, one of them, at the start of the year, issued the execution order of General Soleimani, while the other one, by all means, told to the chief of his Mossad to start the operation, the murder (assassination) on the Professor Mohsen Fakhrizade. Because, for the last two years, the Prime Minister Netanyahu has been dreaming of the moment when he would receive the news that Professor Fakhrizade was executed. At last, he was successful, thanks to the Israeli agents in Iran. Namely, the world and the American administration, especially Donald Trump’s administration, and the Israeli government led for more than 12 years by Netanyahu, they use all means to try and break the Iranian system, Iran’s regime, yet they remain unsuccessful. Thusly, in the end they come to and open themselves up to international terrorism. So I wonder, how is it possible that the American administration, that is to say president Trump, say that General Soleimani’s assassination was committed because he represented a threat for the USA? How can General Soleimani within the territories of Iraq, Syria, and Iran a threat to America? If he were in Cuba, perhaps, but somewhere out there in Iraq and Syria? Secondly, how could he say that the General was a terrorist? That he was a leader of a terrorist organisation, if General Soleimani carried out a role, as we heard from the Ambassador today, and that is that nothing in the Middle East can be done without Iran, and that Iran, in fact, is included into all crises of the Middle East, and thus such a system, having every right, had sent and named one such person and a successful members as was General Soleimani, to go to Syria, Iraq, and in the end he cannot be deemed a national terrorist over there if he is invited over there legally. If he is invited by the system of Damascus and by the government of Baghdad, that means he could not have been an international terrorist. I would like to reiterate that the hope and will of my friends here in the “Ibn Sina” Institute, and of our listeners of course, and of all citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina that by changing the American administration something else would change. Not just in America, but also in the world and in the Middle East. Therefore, I hope we will have a calmer year, and that no more incident of the American government would occur, as it was the case last year, at the start and at the end of 2020.
