79 years after Hiroshima; America is the largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction

Mehr News Agency, International Group: America, despite claiming human rights and preventing It introduces the development and expansion of nuclear weapons as well as the main provider of global security, but it is the only country in the world that used an atomic bomb against another country (Japan) 79 years ago.

On August 6, 1945 AD (15 August 1324), a US Army B-29 fighter dropped the first atomic bomb in human history called “Little Boy”. ) collapsed on the people of Hiroshima, Japan; The mushroom explosion resulting from this bomb destroyed 90% of this city in an instant and sent 140 thousand people to death. Tens of thousands of other people died in the following months and years due to the radioactive radiation from this terrible explosion.

Three days later (August 9), the American B-29 dropped another nuclear bomb, called “Fat Man”, this time on Nagasaki. collapsed and killed 60 thousand people.

According to various reports, between 129,000 and 226,000 Japanese, mostly civilians, were killed during this atomic attack; Although the majority of deaths occurred in the first days after the bombing, mainly due to thermal burns, severe physical injuries and radiation, many deaths were also recorded due to the effects of these bombs in the following years and decades.

One ​​of its effects was leaving several thousand injured and giving birth to thousands of disabled children. Besides, since then, the Japanese people were involved in many diseases. The Guardian newspaper recently wrote: “After the bombing in Japan, the rate of leukemia among those who lived near the explosion was a devastating 660, about 12 to 13 years after the bomb (when radiation levels were at their peak). The percentage increased.

The destructive effects of radioactivity were so deep and wide that in Hiroshima and Nagasaki every year thousands of people and political authorities of the countries of the world to condemn the use of nuclear weapons in the commemoration of these They participate in disaster.

The justification given by American officials and media for committing this catastrophic crime in Japan in recent decades is to save the lives of thousands of American soldiers! Apart from the important moral and legal questions that arise in the context of killing civilians to save the lives of soldiers, this question also comes to mind: “When Hiroshima was burned for this purpose, what was the reason for attacking Nagasaki?”

The repetition of the crimes of the biggest claimant of human rights with unconventional weapons

The bitter irony of the story is that Washington, as the herald of human rights and the savior of the world from communism, fascism, and Nazism, etc., emphasizes the importance of peace and stability. However, this country has about 5,500 weapons out of a total of about 13,000 nuclear weapons in the world. In addition, it is the first country that used the atomic bomb against the innocent people of another country.

Worse, in the post-World War II environment, the United States has repeatedly used unconventional weapons of mass destruction against other countries or provided them to its allies.

For example, America is the largest user of cluster bombs in the world. Cluster bombs were used for the first time in World War II and at least 15 actors such as Eritrea, Ethiopia, France, Zionist regime, Morocco, Netherlands, Britain, Russia, America, etc. have used these bombs in the years since. /p>

In the meantime, America ranks first among the countries that have used this deadly and unconventional weapon. Therefore, the people of countries such as Afghanistan, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Grenada, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Laos, Lebanon, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Vietnam, former Yugoslavia (Kosovo, Montenegro and Serbia) and Yemen at different times. So far, they have been among the victims of America’s warmongering, and some of them will be mentioned below.

It is estimated that the US dropped about 260 million cluster bombs in Laos between 1964 and 1973. According to Reuters, so far in this Southeast Asian country, about 400,000 of these bombs have been cleared and at least 11,000 people have been killed.

In Afghanistan, American crimes with cluster bombs have also been recorded. These bombs of mass destruction, which were used by the United States during two decades of occupation, continue to cause destruction to the citizens of this country due to the risk of unexpected explosions. According to the Polish website “TVP World”, it is estimated that during the first three years of America’s 20-year war in Afghanistan, America used more than 1,500 cluster bombs in Afghanistan.

A similar situation can be seen in Iraq as a country that was invaded by the United States two years after the occupation of Afghanistan, i.e. in 2003. The US last used cluster munitions during the 2003 invasion of Iraq and decided not to continue using them as the conflict shifted to urban environments with denser civilian populations.

America often provides these unconventional weapons to its allies to advance their goals. Sending these types of bombs to Ukraine and Western-Hebrew-Arab allies is one of them; As the Saudi coalition repeatedly used cluster bombs against the Yemeni people.

Even Iran fell victim to the cluster bombs that Saddam’s western allies, especially the Americans, provided to the Baathists. An example of that was Black Sunday in Kermanshah on December 30, 1365, at the same time as Yalda night, during which 640 people were martyred and 1000 people were injured.

Cluster bombs are just one of the unconventional weapons that America has used and provided to its allies many times since World War II.

Other examples of non-conventional weapons are biological and chemical weapons. Contrary to the official statistics that indicate the existence of 336 American biological laboratories in 30 countries of the world, but the reality is much more than that and the number reaches 49 countries; Weapons that have become a tool for the mass killing of innocent people and the United States and its allies have become sinister political goals.

In addition to cluster and biological munitions, weapons containing low-enriched uranium or, in other words, depleted uranium, are other unconventional weapons of the United States that have been used at different times, such as in two wars. Iraq was used first and second.

Recently, during the 10 months of crimes and aggression in the Gaza Strip, the Zionist regime, supported by the United States, has always used phosphorous bombs against the innocent Palestinian people.

Repeated use of unconventional weapons and mass killings by the US and its allies from World War II until now has caused irreparable damage to the reputation of Washington and human rights advocates. And the claim of pacifism and the slogan of human rights has reduced this belligerent country to the level of a bitter joke.
