New Delhi: Amirali Hajizadeh, head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Aerospace Force, has said that he will kill former US President Donald Trump, who held the presidency before January 2021. By the way, this statement is not new at all. But this time it has come at a time when Iran has developed its new cruise missile (New Cruise Missile of Iran) which has a range of 1650 km with the intention of killing Trump. I want to avenge the death of a top Iranian military commander killed in a drone attack in Baghdad.
Things are changing
The changed geopolitical equations after the Russo-Ukrainian war have brought Iran together with Russia. In such a situation, the development of missiles can increase the tension in America, while Iran has already given its drones to Russia, due to which there has been a lot of destruction in Ukraine. At the same time, Russia can also strengthen Iran by giving it a lot of military assistance and can reduce the effect of sanctions imposed by America.
Again repeated the intention
Iran repeatedly talks about avenging the killing of its top military commander Qasim Sulemani, which Hajizadeh has repeated this time. Hajizadeh said Iran did not intend to kill “poor soldiers” when it attacked US-led forces in Iraq. This attack was done with a ballistic missile after the death of 2020 Soleimani.
So why the threat to kill Trump
Iran holds Trump responsible for the death of Soleimani and the sanctions imposed on him by Western countries, ending Iran’s nuclear deal. Trump was the President of the United States from January 2017 to January 2021, during which the relations between Iran and the United States had worsened, after which Iran’s economy deteriorated due to sanctions.
TV interview with missile footage
Hajizadeh told in a statement to State TV that his new cruise missile has a range of 1650 kilometers and has been included in the arsenal of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The first footage of a cruise missile named Paveh was shown in the show. In the same television interview, Hajizadeh reiterated the point of killing Trump.
Want to kill more
In the interview, Hajizadeh said, “By the will of Allah, we want to kill Trump, (former US Secretary of State Mike) Pompeo.” He further said that those military commanders who ordered the killing of Soleimani should die. Iran’s leaders keep reiterating their resolve to avenge Soleimani’s death on every occasion.
Iran USA relations
Iran-US relations have not been going well for many decades. Prior to the Trump regime, former President Barack Obama had made a nuclear deal between Europe-America and Iran to prevent Iran from making a nuclear bomb, which was abolished by Trump and imposed sanctions on Iran. After this, the killing of Sulemani made the situation worse, after which Iran considers Trump responsible for all this.
It was only after Trump imposed harsh sanctions on Iran that Iran accelerated the work on making a nuclear bomb and also made it and Iran had also given its dangerous drones to Russia in the Russia-Ukraine war. Not only this, Iran has recently entered into an agreement with Russia, so that now such drones can be manufactured in large numbers in Russia itself. Due to this, the concerns of America have increased a lot.
