The usual “experts”, and the European Union, take sides with Tehran condemning the killing of Fakhrizadeh

The first comments of the usual "experts" on the killing of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh , scientist "father" of Iranian nuclear power, last Friday near Tehran, are negative: in their eyes the decision to eliminate him was a mistake, if not a "crime". because "civilians are not killed".

Reading these comments, however, we felt like we were going back in the months to when Qassem Soleimani was eliminated in Iraq last January. Again, open heaven, the post-raid comments were almost all condemnatory. Such targeted action was not acceptable, even if a Pasdaran general. At the very least, it would raise hell. Instead, Tehran's reaction was very timid, only symbolic.

These are completely misleading comments, which reveal the bad faith or misinformation of those who express them, especially when they come from institutional circles such as the spokesman of the EU High Representative Josep Borrell, who condemned the killing as a "criminal act that contrasts with the principle of respect for human rights that the EU supports ”, de facto siding with the Tehran regime and transforming it from human rights executioner to victim.

Both Soleimani and Fakhrizadeh were not ordinary people, nor were they ordinary high officials of a foreign country. Considering them as such means not having understood anything about the Islamic Republic and the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.

Qassem Soleimani was neither more nor less than a terrorist. It had brought terror into the world, hitting hundreds of innocent civilians. He was in charge of a special unit – the Quds Force – which was tasked with exporting the Khomeinist revolution. And a terrorist organization is the body of the Revolutionary Guards, the Pasdaran, a praetorian armed militia born with the sole purpose of protecting the 1979 Islamist Revolution and expanding its external projection, marginalizing the Iranian national army ( Artesh ).

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was not a civil scientist. He was a nuclear expert who had put his knowledge at the service of the Pasdaran, managing the most delicate phases of the Amad project, namely those related to the secret missile and nuclear program, including research on nuclear explosions. His work was aimed at equipping a regime whose declared aim is to eliminate another country (Israel) with a nuclear bomb and intercontinental ballistic missiles and which daily plots to overthrow unwelcome Arab regimes. In practice, he was working on the final solution to the Israeli "problem". There was nothing civil about Fakhrizadeh, except the white shirt he wore …

These are therefore comments that are the fruit of hypocrisy, not analysis, and political prejudice towards Israel. A double standard that, for too many years now, hides an ideological fascination for anti-Western regimes.
