By Khwaja Kabir Ahmed<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent days, global politics appears to be taking an extremely dangerous and alarming turn. The joint attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran in the Middle East have not only pushed the entire region into severe tension but have also shaken the foundations of the global order and international law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issue is no longer limited to military operations or targeting military installations. Iran\u2019s top leadership has also been directly targeted. It is not merely a matter of statements or threats; Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader and other senior leaders have reportedly been killed, and attempts are continuing to eliminate the remaining new leadership as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even more surprising and alarming is the fact that the president of a country that calls itself the world\u2019s greatest superpower openly states that killing Iran\u2019s leadership would be an honor for him. This is not merely a political statement; it reflects a mindset that could push global politics onto an extremely dangerous path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the principle becomes accepted in global politics that powerful countries can legitimately and proudly eliminate the leadership of rival states, then the entire structure of international law, state sovereignty, and diplomacy becomes weakened. In such a situation, the dangers for smaller and weaker countries increase many times over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History tells us that whenever power is considered above the law, the consequences are always destructive. The trend of targeting political leadership not only intensifies wars but also pushes entire regions into instability and an atmosphere of fear. Its effects are not limited to governments; they leave deep scars on the lives of ordinary people as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the Second World War, the world attempted to place global politics under certain rules and laws in order to prevent the blind use of power. However, the current situation once again raises the question: is the world truly committed to those principles, or has the law of power once again become the ultimate law?
The recent attacks on Iran and the incidents of targeting leadership during these attacks are not merely the problem of one country; they are a warning for the entire world. If major powers continue on this path, this trend may give rise to even more dangerous conflicts in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the world needs most at this moment is not displays of power but justice, the rule of law, and responsible leadership. True power does not lie in who can kill whom, but in who can save the world from war, hatred, and destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If global leadership fails to understand this reality, history may once again push humanity into an era where only a few win the wars of power, but the entire humanity suffers the defeat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
