In the Iranian calendar, November 4th is designated as "Student Day and opposing Arrogance." From the Iranian perspective, "Global Arrogance" refers essentially to the arrogant government of the United States—a regime whose recent actions have exposed world public opinion to only a fraction of its crimes, such as the killing of 168 primary school children in a school in Minab. However, the Iranian nation has grappled with the coercion and bullying of American politicians for many years. Despite the fact that only 250 years have passed since the establishment of the United States government, a significant portion of the history of that arrogant regime has been spent on conspiracy and attempts to inflict maximum suffering on the Iranian people.
The U.S. government has always considered itself a herald of the rule of law, democracy, and world order, operating on the principle that "Might is Right." The hostility of American officials toward institutions like the International Criminal Court (ICC), alongside the uninhibited attacks on this body by figures such as Marco Rubio (the U.S. Secretary of State), stems in reality from an effort to evade accountability for the crimes they commit against other nations.
The horrific and unforgettable fact that the United States is the first country to have used the Nuclear Bomb against another nation, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, is yet another manifestation of the crimes and bullying of US politicians, for which they have never been held accountable or investigated. The arrogant government of the United States has consistently acted contrary to the principles and foundations of its own constitution as well as the explicit provisions of international law, and owing to the power it possesses, considers itself above any form of accountability.
The withdrawal of U.S. President Donald Trump from the JCPOA in 2018, the imposition of maximum pressure on Iran, and the alignment with the Israeli regime in the 12-day and 40-day aggressions against Iran's sovereignty and territorial integrity resulted in the martyrdom of thousands of people and the widespread destruction of Iran's civilian infrastructure. Contrary to common sense and the requirements of politics and international law—and relying solely on the rules of gambling and the unrestricted utilization of the AI in the Pentagon (Project Maven)—Trump, following the terrifying precedent of using the nuclear bomb and holding the record for this great historical shame, has now also registered the record for the unrestricted and boundless use of artificial intelligence (AI) as a "weapon" in attacks against Iran and the slaughter of civilians at a primary school in Minab, a stadium in Lamerd, and a wedding ceremony in the city of Sirik.
The weaponization of AI is considered humanity's second dangerous deviation (after nuclear energy) from an invention and its misuse toward mass destruction. The US government holds the record and stand at the forefront of misusing both inventions. The silence of the owners of major U.S. AI giants regarding the Pentagon and White House's unrestricted and unconditional use of their findings and expertise as weapons of war for the mass murder of people and the destruction of civilian infrastructure in Iran does not reduce the legal, moral, and humanitarian responsibility of "Tech Bros" in the slightest.
One cannot overlook the reality that despite its high domestic capacity, the resilience of its nation, and the neutralizing of illegal U.S. government sanctions over the past decades, Iran has not yet succeeded in fully flourishing its potential capacities. This very issue has confronted the lives of the Iranian people with numerous livelihood challenges and difficulties—a matter for which the Iranian people point the finger of blame at the arrogant and oppressive U.S. government above anyone else. By riding the wave and resorting to an issue that they themselves have caused and stimulated over many decades, U.S. officials assumed a gesture of supporting the iranian people in their recent military aggressions against Iran; oblivious to the fact that such a ridiculous gesture will never be believed in Iran.
November 4th is in fact a commemoration of the Iranian nation's endurance and resilience against arrogant powers and bullies who, acting as predators seeking prey, adhere to no legal or moral principles. The ruthless killing of people in Iran through the unrestricted use of the latest AI-powered weapons, attacks on infrastructure, and the naval blockade of Iran are part of the crimes committed by the rulers of the arrogant United States against the resilient and indefatigable people of Iran.
Iranians believe that all nations possess equal rights and are equal before the law, and that no country can deprive others of their inherent rights through force and coercive measures as well as baseless and false narratives.
A poem by a great Iranian scholar, composed more than a century ago, tangibly demonstrates the Iranian spirit of anti-oppression and the pursuit of justice:
Sleeping on the dual edges of a serpent's fang, Walking triple-stacked upon an ant’s narrow horn, Thrusting an oiled body, with struggle and strain, Deep into a swarming wasps' nest, Scaling Mount Bisotun without a guide, Through the pitch-black night, with blinded eyes, Bearing severe and agonizing wounds while naked, Journeying vast distances on foot, Shivering with fever in a heavily scarred body, And plunging into freezing briny waters in winter, Those all are thousands of times better in my eyes, Than submitting to even an atom of oppression,
