Daher schlage ich vor, die Rolle, die Marlon Brando im Film “Godfather“ gespielt hat, aufmerksam zu beobachten, um die politische Situation in der Welt besser verstehen zu können. Stalin erlaubte sich, die Länder in Ost-Europa zu besetzen. Er festigte seine Herrschaft durch Terrorimus und Eliminierung vieler Kommunisten und Freiheitskämpfer. Nach dem Zerfall der UDSSR wurde die Welt in zwei Hauptzonen getrennt; und sogar Europa ist momentan gespalten (in reich und arm). Die Großmächte wie USA, Großbritannien und Frankreich haben die alte Kolonialpolitik in eine neue Form gebracht. Die Souveränität von vielen Ländern in Afrika, Asien, und Latinamerika wird missachtet die Menschenrechte in diesen Ländern werden mit Füssen getreten und die Wirtschaftsquellen von unterentwickelten Ländern werden durch diese sogenannten „Big-Power” ausgebeutet. Diese neuen Kolonialmächte (USA, GB und Frankreich) versuchen folgenderweise ihre Macht auszudehnen: Großbritannien und USA haben durch ihre Konspirationspolitik und Interventionen einen Untergang der Zivilisation und des kulturellen Zustands im Iran verursacht, wodurch das Schicksal von mindestens drei Generationen zerstört wurde. Die Regierungen der USA und Großbritanniens haben aus Interesse an den Ölquellen im Iran durch Putsch und Terroraktionen Dr. M. Mossadegh, den iranischen Premierminister, im Jahr 1953 gestürzt. Durch die Einsetzung einer diktatorischen Herrschaft (die des Schah) wurden daraufhin mehrere Jahre Terroraktionen durchgeführt. Diese Aktionen bedeuteten eine 10 Verletzung des Völkerrechts, der Demokratie und der Menschenrechte im Iran. Die US-Regierung und die Alliierten haben Khomeini, einen unkultivierten Fanatiker, unterstützt, um eine islamische, fundamentalistische Regierung im Iran an die Macht zu bringen. Die US-Regierung hat im Vietnam-Krieg chemische Waffen benutzt und ist am Mord von Millionen Menschen aus der Zivilbevölkerung und der Zerstörung dieses Land schuldig. Die US-Regierung hat durch Putsch die Allende-Regierung in Chile gestürzt und dadurch einen Diktator an die Macht gebracht. Die Folge dessen war, dass viele Menschen getötet und verhaftet wurden. Die reaktionären Kräfte in Indonesien unter der Führung von General Suharto sind, mit Unterstützung der CIA, gegen Präsident Sukarno vorgegangen und haben in den Jahren zwischen 1964-1966 mehr als anderthalb Millionen Menschen als “ Pro-Kommunisten“ getötet. Die US-Regierung hat durch die Zusammenarbeit mit Saudi-Arabien und Bin-Laden die terroristischen Gruppen Taliban und Al-Qaida in Pakistan und Afghanistan gegründet. Durch die militärische Besetzung dieser Länder und durch die Kooperation mit korrupten Regierungen wurden Bürgerkrieg und Terrorismus in diesen Ländern und der Region verbreitet. Die geheime Verbindung der Regierung von George W. Bush mit Bin- Laden und Saudi-Arabien hat schlussendlich die Terroranschläge am 11. September 2001 in New York verursacht. Die militärische Invasion der USA im Irak durch die Bush-Administration (Vater und Sohn) und die Bombardierung des Landes hat zur Vernichtung eines großen Teiles der Bevölkerung und zum Bürgerkrieg zwischen ethnischen und religiösen Gruppen geführt. Zudem waren Dick Cheney und seine Partner in der Lage, mehrere Milliarden Dollar durch den Krieg im Irak zu verdienen. Solche korrupte Personen spielen noch immer eine große Rolle in der US-Politik. Die Regierungen Großbritanniens und Frankreichs sind wichtige Partner der USA und setzen ihre koloniale Politik in Afrika und im Nahen Osten 11 mit neuen Methoden fort. Zum Bespiel hat Nikolas Sarkozy (Frankreich) in Kooperation mit David Cameron (GB) eine große Rolle bei der militärischen Invasion in Libyen gespielt. Diese Regierungen haben den Bürgerkrieg, die Folterungen und Mordanschläge in Libyen verursacht, um die Ölquellen ausbeuten zu können. Diese Regierungen haben dazu beigetragen, dass noch immer einige islamische Terrorgruppen gegeneinander in Libyen kämpfen und dass das Land völlig zerstört wurde. Unter der Zusammenarbeit von USA, Großbritannien, Frankreich, Saudi- Arabien und der Türkei einerseits und Russland und Iran andererseits, wird der Krieg in Syrien fortgesetzt. Syrien ist fast völlig zerstört und Millionen aus der Zivilbevölkerung wurden eliminiert oder mussten das Land verlassen. In Syrien wird nicht für „Democracy“ gekämpft, wie es von den USA, von Großbritannien und Frankreich behauptet wird, sondern zugunsten der Interessen von Israel, Saudi-Arabien und der Türkei werden diese kriminellen Machenschaften fortgesetzt. Die Regierungen der USA behaupten, dass sie durch ihre militärischen Interventionen in der Welt den Terrorismus bekämpfen und die Demokratie in der Welt verteidigen. Die Dokumente und die derzeitige chaotische Situation in der Welt zeigen jedoch, dass die USA und andere Supermächte diese terroristischen Gruppen gegründet haben und mit diktatorischen Regierungen zusammenarbeiten und dadurch Terrorismus und Hass in der Welt verbreiten. Die Einmischung der USA und von GB und Frankreich in die inneren Angelegenheiten anderer Nationen ist eine Verletzung und Missachtung der UN-Charta und stellt eine Verletzung der Menschenrechte dar. Über 40 Millionen Menschen leben in den USA unter der Armutsgrenze, über 25 Millionen sind obdachlos. Dazu kommt, dass einige Lobby- Verbände und viele andere in den USA mit Waffenverkauf Geld verdienen wollen und durch ihren Einfluss im Kongress verhindern, dass der Verkauf von Waffen abgeschafft wird. Deswegen werden täglich viele Menschen in den USA erschossen und umgebracht! 12 Das Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC, Frühjahr 2015, Ausgabe 157)

Abstract The 1979 Islamic Revolution of Iran was based and formed upon the concept of Khomeinism, the religious, political, and social ideas of Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini. While the Iranian revolution was carried out with the slogans of independence, freedom, and Islamic Republic, Khomeini's framework gave it a specific impetus for the unity of people, religious culture, and leadership. Khomeinism was not just an effort, on a religious basis, to alter a national system. It included and was dependent upon the projection of a clash beyond a “national” struggle, including was a clash of ideology with that associated with the United States. Analysing the Iran-US relationship over the past century and Khomeini’s interpretation of it, this thesis attempts to show how the Ayatullah projected "America" versus Iranian national freedom and religious pride.

Soft War: A New Episode in the Old Conflicts Between Iran and the United States Abstract Soft war is ubiquitous today with the way the Islamic Republic of Iran characterizes its relationship with the West, and is a key concern of Iranian national security policy. Few, however, have seriously undertaken the task of defining what soft war is in concrete terms. This analysis proposes a definition of soft war grounded in Joseph Nye’s concept of ‘soft power’ and the history of Iran’s encounter with the West, particularly the United States. In this framework, soft war is the exercise of soft power by the United States on Iran, creating security challenges for the Islamic Republic and forcing the Republic to respond. This analysis not only explores the genealogy of this conflict and how it has unfolded under the Islamic Republic, but also attempts to assess the regime’s strategy in the soft war.

On 13 March 1983, commemorating the twenty-first anniversary of the death of Ayatollah Kashani, Iran’s parliamentary Speaker, later President, Ali-Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani made the following statement: ‘We honour the memory of the exalted Ayatollah Kashani and request the Iranian nation to participate in the commemoration ceremonies that will be held tomor- row and in the following days; on the same occasion we should express indignation over the injustice done to him and to the Islamic movement by the nationalists [i.e., the Mosaddeq supporters] and the blow inflicted by them on the Islamic movement in one episode in Iran’s history.

    Comparative Study of Post-Marriage Nationality Of Women in Legal Systems of Different Countries http://ijmmu.com [email protected] International Journal of Multicultural ISSN 2364-5369 Volume 8, Issue 4 and Multireligious Understanding April, 2021 Pages: 20-36 The Intellectual Tradition of Libertarian Islam and Its Relation to the Thought of the Islamic State in Iran 1 2 Sajjad Chitforoush ; Ali Kakadezfuli 1 Ph.D. in Political Thought and Faculty Member of Imam Hossein (AS) University, Iran 2 Ph.D. student in Political Science at Shahed University, Iran http://dx.doi.org/10.18415/ijmmu.v8i4.2172 Abstract Liberal thought in Iran was based on contemporary political and social conditions that influenced Iranian thought. Also, this idea has benefited from some of the features of Iranian and Islamic political culture; therefore, it has been shown in a new form, called the tradition of freedom of Islam. One of the most important manifestations of this tradition can be seen in the formation of political thought after the victory of the Islamic Revolution. The main question of this research, after explaining the idea of libertarian Islam in the form of an intellectual tradition, is how this idea has been effective in shaping the constitution and the nature of the political system in contemporary Iran. The results of this study show that the main issue of liberal thought in Iran was freedom of the public and restrictions on the duties of the government. In this regard, the original "non" has been absolutism. Thus, at the same time as the formation of the constitution after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, in spite of the inability to achieve complete power and the hegemony in the field of thought, it tried to prevent the widespread extension of the functions of the political system by ormulating restrictive laws of political power.
