The world after Soleimani and Al-Muhandis/ a note by Mazen al-Zaidi, an Iraqi writer and journalist

Mazen al-Zaidi, a prominent Iraqi writer and journalist, wrote in a special note for Tasnim News:
 
Arab Spring events that countries Covered West Asia and North Africa, it was a political and social earthquake, which is considered the most severe after the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1978 in the Arab and Islamic world. It was then that the struggle of the Iranian people under the leadership of Imam Khomeini (may God have mercy on him) against the domination of the West and the domination of their capabilities ended in a real revolution that led Iran from the camp of the West to the camp that was the axis of liberation and defense of the oppressed people. /p>

Nevertheless, the clarity of the vision and strategic reading that the axis of resistance had, succeeded in overturning the use of civil wars and the issue with the official withdrawal of the United States from Iraq in the year 2011 is over.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan has become a quagmire for the US military, which will eventually be forced into a humiliating retreat in 2021. It is no coincidence that the events known as the “Arab Spring” happened a few months after the American withdrawal from Iraq, which was the first of its kind in modern history. Like Germany, Japan and South Korea, America did not have a military base in Iraq. in which Israel occupied the position of a superpower dominating the capabilities of the countries and people of the region and decided to return to the region after its humiliating withdrawal from Iraq. Their remnants had retreated from Iraq and Afghanistan, Tunisia, Libya and Yemen to return to the region, so that Syria would be a demonstration field to complete the partition plan based on tribalism and serve the interests of the Zionist regime.

Terrorist organizations and Takfiri played a large role in the implementation of the American plan in Syria in 2011 and then in Iraq in 2013 and 2014. Leaders who were active in Iraq and most of them in American prisons, especially Boka prison, which was considered an American academy for graduating terrorist organizations, were called again. He graduated from the leaders of terrorist organizations led by Abu Muhammad al-Julani and his assistant Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, the leaders of Al-Nusra Front and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and his assistants before separating from Julani and forming the “Islamic State”. that the terrorist organizations witnessed in Syria, they were managed through two security operations rooms, the first one was conducted through Turkey “Wax Room” and “Mook Room” through Jordan.

Both of them in addition to With the participation of some regional regimes, they were managed by the CIA. According to the confession of Hamad bin Jassim, the Prime Minister of Qatar, billions of dollars were allocated to these two chambers to advance the project of overthrowing Syria and dividing the region. Jassim mentioned in a TV interview that the director of Saudi intelligence only requested 2 trillion dollars to topple Bashar al-Assad’s regime! Syria was talking about the Syrian revolution, the axis of resistance was aware of the reality of this subversive plan.

From here, the presence of the Islamic Republic of Iran through its advisors in the Revolutionary Guards led by Major General Qassem Soleimani inside Syria and then joining Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Iraqi resistance groups and others represented a historic moment of awareness that changed the situation and equations and ended the destruction of this project that was supposed to start from Syria and spread to all countries in the region.

 
The success of the resistance axis led to stability in Syria and preventing it from falling into the hands of terrorist organizations such as Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State since the events of 2011 to 2014, so that the American They thought of transferring the confrontation to the depth of the geography of the resistance, which is Iraq, which was a strategic line to provide all the elements and stability factors of the Syrian front. At this time, the terrorist organizations under the cover of “Islamic State” Iraq and the Levant, abbreviated as ISIS, were pushed into Iraq by breaking the border with Syria and occupying Mosul on June 10, 2014. And then they turned to occupy a third of the territory of Iraq.

The purpose of this work was to occupy the axis of resistance and drag it to defend their rear lines, and the power of the axis of resistance between preventing The fall of Syria and the halting of the advance of Daesh from reaching the capital of Baghdad.

Here Major General Qassem Soleimani played a central role in managing the confrontation in Iraq and organizing the ranks of the Iraqi resistance to confront Daesh and prevent its expansion towards It had Baghdad and cities in the center and south.

Sardar Soleimani managed the axis of resistance in the two dangerous fronts of Syria and Iraq and moved between the battle lines along the plan to confront terrorist organizations.

Despite the collapse of the security forces on the Iraqi side, which surprised the world and confused the calculations of the resistance axis, which was involved in the stability of Syria, the world was also surprised by the speed of the Iraqi people’s rise to face the terrorist threat when the Ayatollah Azmi, the Shiite authority Seyyed Ali Sistani issued the fatwa of “Jihad Kefa’i” on June 13. That is, it was issued only 3 days after the fall of Mosul.

The world witnessed that millions of Iraqi volunteers raced to face the defeat that was inflicted on the five military divisions of the Iraqi army.

These millions of people were organized by one of the Iraqi leaders named Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis along with Sardar Soleimani and prepared for the confrontation. They made a continuous effort to supply Iraqi weapons from the Iranian army’s weapons depots and under the guidance of the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and after dozens of Hezbollah leaders brought Lebanon to stem the tide of ISIS and then defeated it in 2017, when it officially announced the liberation of the city of Mosul, which Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had seized as the capital of his self-proclaimed caliphate.

The Martyr General Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis was a representative of the mentality and spirit of the Martyr General Qassem Soleimani in predicting the challenges facing the axis of resistance from the time of the occupation of Iraq by the United States in 2003 until the occupation of a third of this land in 2014 by ISIS.

The martyred engineer became a legendary leader among the Iraqis, reminding them of their legendary heroes such as Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and other Sumerian gods. Iraqis of all nationalities and sects after seeing his courage in defending the oppressed whose cities ISIS had attacked and deprived them of their lives and abilities from Mosul to Haditha, Fallujah, Tikrit, Diyala and other Iraqi cities. had done, they loved him.

While Americans and Westerners talked for decades about the necessity of destroying ISIS as a geopolitical project with a long expiration date, the Iraqi resistance forces led by generals Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis were able to defeat the organization within a few years.

The two martyred leaders thwarted Plan B to impose the “Greater Middle East” project and the axis of resistance became a social, political and military reality that the presence of imposed himself to abort American-Western projects.

Given their important and influential role in countering American plans after the events of September 11, it was not surprising that these two leaders were constant targets of assassination by the Americans. to be This is what actually happened on the morning of January 3, 2020, near Baghdad International Airport.

The Americans believed that by assassinating Soleimani and Al-Muhandis, they could break the back of the resistance axis and disintegrate it. do But the events after the heinous crime proved that the resistance against the American presence in West Asia went uphill and resistance became the culture of the people of the region and its young generations.

What happened on October 7 last year We witnessed in occupied Palestine, it is a real picture of the strength, solidity and strength of the resistance, the seeds of which were planted by Martyr Soleimani and Martyr Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis participated in its strengthening and protection.

The world after the Baghdad airport crime It is no longer a world that is subject to American hegemony or submission, but is witnessing the emergence of small powers that were previously considered on the margins of history, but today have an influential say in the balance. Power is at the regional and global level.

We have the Palestinian resistance, the Lebanese resistance and the Ansarullah resistance in Yemen, they have become actors in the calculations of the great powers that have been affecting the people and the capabilities of the region for decades. They have dominated, they have not been present.
We are facing a different world. What happened after the assassination of Soleimani and Al-Muhandis was different from what happened before.
