US, Israel promoters of war and violence in the world

TEHRAN, (MNA) – On the International Day against Violence and Extremism, critics argue that US and Israeli policies have entrenched war, state terrorism, and global instability.

December 18, 2014 has been designated as the International Day against Violence and Extremism by the UN General Assembly resolution. In this regard, this year, the international conference "Peace and a World Free of Violence in Legal Principles and Shared Cultural Values" was held at Tehran University on Sunday, December 21, 2025, with the participation of a group of university professors, and prominent Iranian and foreign jurists.

The reality is that today, with the expansion of America's hostile and violent policies against independent and multilateral countries and its insistence on institutionalizing unilateralism in the Trump era, the world is witnessing the rapid growth of state terrorism and the preparation for war. The realities of the scene show that terrorism, violence and war-mongering are the products of the neoconservative policies of America and the Zionist regime, and it is not wrong to consider the rulers of Tel Aviv as the main accomplices of the White House in this area.

The ideological foundations of terrorist networks are rooted in the hegemonic tendencies of the United States, and the joint action of Washington and Tel Aviv to assassinate the main figures of the Resistance Axis, nuclear scientists, the genocide in Gaza, and the aggression against Iran is considered the result of the incitement of the United States and Israel.

In fact, the support of American officials, especially Trump, for Israel is the main source of war and state terrorism and its spread in the world. According to Paul Atwood, a professor of American studies at the University of Massachusetts, terrorism is a tool in the US foreign policy strategy.

Israel, which does not shy away from admitting to the killing of its opponents and terrorist operations in countries around the world, seeks to implement the strategy of expanding this regime "from the Nile to the Euphrates" or "Greater Israel" by increasing war and insecurity in West Asia. Tel Aviv, by ignoring international laws and regulations, the genocide in Gaza, the continuation of the occupation of Palestine, and the destabilization of Lebanon and Syria, also enjoys the support of the United States as a promoter of terrorism.

This year, the world is welcoming the Day to Combat Violence and Extremism, while the United States and the Zionist regime are undoubtedly the main promoters of war and insecurity and the most hated regimes in the world, and the killing of children and women in Gaza is one of the prominent symbols of Washington and Tel Aviv's collaboration in creating fear and intimidation in the world. Of course, the inefficiency of the United Nations and its executive arm, the Security Council, has also exacerbated the process of violence and war and threatened international peace and security.

Apart from inciting war in West Asia, the movement that the United States has put on the agenda against Venezuela is a warmongering action in the Caribbean Sea. The US's excuse for aggression against Venezuela, namely its connection to drug trafficking, is completely false because combating drugs has its own ways and methods, and no country has sought to combat drug trafficking through war and aggression against an independent country. Today, there are places in America that are the production and distribution of drugs, and this issue is abundant in some parts of New York, and if Trump wants to fight drugs, he must first start in his own country. At the time of the emergence of the Taliban, the Americans allowed them to earn money from selling drugs, acquire weapons, and fight the Afghan fighters who had defeated the former Soviet Union. Therefore, the claim that the United States is seeking to combat drugs in Venezuela is an excuse to destabilize a revolutionary state and put its desired person in power in this country.

Of course, history has shown that no country can usurp another country without suffering damage itself, and if a war breaks out in the Caribbean, it will be long-term and may even spread to other Latin American countries.

At this critical time, it is necessary for supporters of peace and justice and the main opponents of terrorism and war, united and deciding, to show their seriousness in fighting violence in the field. Non-governmental organizations, research centers, academics, and the media can also play a role in a world free of war and terrorism by exposing the main perpetrators of global problems.

The Islamic Republic of Iran, as a peace-loving country that has repeatedly shown that it has been a pioneer in eradicating terrorism and warmongering, can also take the necessary measures in this regard in bilateral and multilateral relations at the current stage.
