An Iranian Arabic newspaper says that Soleimani and Fakhrizadeh were killed “at the gates of Tel Aviv” and demands that they continue their march.
Arab newspapers continue to pay attention to the repercussions of the assassination of the Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhryzadeh In Tehran a few days ago.
Newspapers and opinion writers have discussed Iran’s options in response to the assassination of Fakhrizadeh, whom one newspaper described as Iran’s “father of the nuclear bomb.”
A team of writers noted the similarities between the assassination of Fakhrizadeh and the assassination of the commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Qassem Soleimani, in Iraq last January.
A second team confirmed that the Iranian response, if it happened, would be in the Arab arena and within the current rules of engagement, such as through the Iraqi militias or the Houthis in Yemen.
A third ruled out that the response was inside Israel, fearing the latter would hit the “Natanz” reactor and the rest of the nuclear sites in Iran.
An Iranian Arabic-language newspaper said Soleimani and Fakhrizadeh were killed “at the gates of Tel Aviv”, demanding that they continue their careers.
‘Father of the nuclear bomb’
Under the headline “How will Iran respond to the murder of ‘my father’s nuclear bomb?'”, London’s “Al-Quds Al-Arabi” says in its editorial that the murder of Fakhri Zada is similar to the murder of Qassem Soleimani earlier this year, “who was the de facto leader of Tehran’s foreign military and security projects.”
It considers that the two murders constitute “two major escalations, in the context of the security-military war waged by the administrations of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against Iran, and despite the declared political participation of the countries Arabs in this war against Tehran, one of these countries, the United Arab Emirates, has tried to “avoid receiving Iranian anger against it, with the decision to withdraw its forces from Yemen and send delegations to coordinate security, while Saudi Arabia will it was content with attempts to repel Houthi attacks and not participate in direct military operations against Tehran.
She says: “Iran faces Israeli assassinations and sabotage, with missile and drone operations in Saudi Arabia, sabotage of oil tankers and ships in the Gulf, and the mobilization of militias affiliated with it in Iraq, and the political intransigence represented by the great influence of ‘Hezbollah’ in the Lebanese political system, and stubbornness in Syria. ” .
And he adds: “This wide geographic spread practically avoids a comprehensive war with Iran, and if we add the hope of the Iranian regime for a tangible change in American positions with Biden’s move to the White House, the inferred conclusion is that the battles and Israeli-Iranian intelligence operations will continue for a long time, and that the real sea change will happen if Tehran is able to carry out its nuclear bomb, and then the regional balance of power will have shifted, but, contrary to what is claimed, it may be the cause of an unconventional war against Iran that inflames the region.

Some believe that Fakhrizadeh’s assassination is similar to the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, “who was the de facto leader of Tehran’s foreign military and security projects.”
Ghassan Charbel, editor of the London-based Asharq Al-Awsat, also links the assassinations of Soleimani and Fakhri Zadeh, adding that “planned attacks on Americans in Iraq fell short of response level.”
The writer says: “This is not the first time that Israel has attacked a nuclear scientist on Iranian soil. It did so at the beginning of the last decade. The novelty of the recent operation is the name of the man and his importance and the inability of the authorities. of his country to protect him despite his name two years ago by Netanyahu in front of the whole world. ” In the context of revealing the nuclear documents that Mossad stole from Iranian drawers, Charbel adds: “What is also new is the size of Israeli penetration into Iranian soil. . The operation also revamped its schedule, weeks before the end of Trump’s term, meaning the Biden administration may face new developments that complicate any US return to the nuclear deal.
According to Muhammad Sadiq al-Husseini, in the Iranian Arabic “Al-Wefaq”, “Soleimani and Fakhri Zada were killed at the gates of Tel Aviv, so we have to complete their journey from the station where they stopped” .
And he says: “We do not forget the goals for which these adults were martyred, even if they are still among us, they will not lose sight of them for a single moment. They are their great strategic goals, to advance in the march. Strengthen us more and continually develop our capabilities and direct more strategic attacks on the enemy. ” We push him to despair and isolation. Once again we have to concentrate well. “

One team believes the operation is aimed at “dragging Iran into an armed confrontation with Israel and the United States before Trump’s term ends.”
Current Engagement Rules
In the Jordanian “Al-Rai”, Tayel Al-Damen says: “The assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhri Zadeh in the heart of the Islamic Republic constituted a security breach and a painful blow to the Iranian regime, destined to lead to Iran to an armed showdown with Israel and the United States before Trump’s term ends and leaves the White House, In the end, it remains a trump card for Israel, which can free it from Iran’s nuclear spectrum forever by launching a war. that inflames the region and ignites the global economy.
And he adds: “The Iranian response, if given, will be pleasant and light on Israel. It is certain that President-elect Joe Biden will enter the crisis line and make contacts to calm and grant Iran promises and guarantees, which will be achieved. during his tenure, and Iran will emerge somewhat victorious. “
He believes that the Iranian response “will be in the Arab arena, as it will cure hidden Iranian hatred, and the fire of their hatred that is launched from Yemen towards a bank of targets in the Arab Gulf will intensify, and it will be with the hidden blessing of United States and Israel “.
“Any Iranian reaction must be counted in the first place, not to anger Biden,” Abdel-Rahman Al-Tariri said in Saudi Arabia’s Okaz.
He believes that “the response headquarters, if carried out, is easy and acceptable within the current rules of engagement for that to happen in Iraq, for example, even if it did lead to injury to American soldiers, and escalation it can continue on the Yemeni scene as well. “
However, he ruled out that “Iran would dare to attack Israel at home just as it was at home,” and said that if this happened, “Israel could bomb Natanz and the rest of Iran’s nuclear sites.”
The writer also excludes the response from the Lebanese Hezbollah, saying that “the Lebanese reality does not allow Hezbollah to fight a battle, and it is the one that bleeds a human being in Syria and is bleeding economically as a result of its association with an internationally sanctioned economy. “.
