Brave leadership of an old leader

There is an ancient story. A goat’s lamb was drinking water from the waterfall at the bottom. A lion came at the same time and started drinking water from the top. His eyes fell on the lamb. Thinking about the soft flesh of the lamb, the lion’s mouth started watering. The lion came to the lamb and said, you have made my water impure. You will be punished for this by death. The lamb pleaded, Your Majesty, you were drinking water above, I was drinking water below. How can I make your water impure? The lion said, if not you, then your father must have made my water impure. That is why you will be punished.

A similar kind of justice is working in the Israel-Iran war. First, America attacked Iraq by falsely accusing it of making biological-chemical weapons and hanged the dictator Saddam Hussain.

However, later during the American investigation, no such weapon, or rather its trace, was found in Iraq. The interesting thing is that it was America that helped Saddam Hussein to become a dictator in the beginning.

America has been accusing Iran of making nuclear weapons for years. Situations of confrontation arose many times. But Iran never bowed down to America. Of course, Iran has been claiming that it is not making any nuclear weapons. But America, which has become the self-proclaimed leader of the world, is ready to accept this. It is saying that Iran should make nuclear weapons. If Iran does not have the right to keep nuclear weapons, then how did America, Russia, France, China, North Korea, India, Pakistan get this right? Natural justice demands that all countries should be treated equally. From this point of view, Iran and its supreme religious leader Khamenei are not at all wrong. But the tendency to capture Khamenei and Iran is working. America is in the role of a lion and wants to serve its own interests by making baseless allegations.

It is worth noting here that when Russia gave the argument of attacking Iran in the case of Ukraine, Russia was condemned by the US and its NATO allies in the western countries and across the world for interfering in the decision of a sovereign independent country. But when the US gives the same argument in the case of Iran and Khamenei and gets Israel to attack it, then no one is speaking up, because lambs have no status in front of a lion.
