Liên hệ Israel và Iran – Từ bạn hóa thù (3 phần)

Trước khi thù địch, Israel và Iran từng “thân” như thế nào?

NĐT -: Thứ 7, 11/11/2023 | 00:23- 17:26

Sau cuộc chiến với các nước Ả Rập năm 1948, Israel đối mặt với thách thức an ninh cực lớn khi bị bao quanh bởi phần lớn các nước thù địch. Tình thế này khiến Israel phải đưa ra giải pháp trước khi quá muộn. Và họ chọn Iran.

Theo Viện Brookings (tổ chức tư vấn có trụ sở tại Mỹ), sự thù địch Israel – Iran rất kỳ lạ. Hai nước không có biên giới chung, không xảy ra chiến tranh cũng như không có bất kỳ sự cạnh tranh gay gắt nào về kinh tế hay vị thế trong khu vực. Lịch sử về mối quan hệ giữa người Ba Tư (Iran ngày nay) và người Do Thái (Israel ngày nay) cũng phần lớn là những điều tích cực. Thậm chí, trước năm 1979, Israel và Iran còn tạo thành một liên minh chiến lược về chính trị, kinh tế, an ninh và nhiều lĩnh vực khác. Vậy điều gì đã khiến Israel và Iran từ bạn hóa thù? Loạt bài kỳ này sẽ cố gắng giải đáp phần nào câu hỏi đó.

How the threat of China was made in the USA

AJ+ – 27-1-2022

China is bad. At least, that’s what even a glance of U.S. reporting on China tells us. It’s a way of reporting that follows a long history of constructing the Chinese — in news, popular culture and the halls of DC — as a threat. In the first episode of Backspace, a new media critique series from AJ+, Sana Saeed explores what China and the Chinese have looked like in the American imagination, how that impacts and is impacted by U.S. immigration and foreign policies, and ways we can retell that story.

To counter China, the United States seeks a comprehensive strategic partner in Vietnam

Written By

October 24, 2023 Pacific Forum

President Joe Biden visited Hanoi in September and announced that the United States and Vietnam had upgraded relations from a “comprehensive partnership” to a “comprehensive strategic partnership.” Washington and Hanoi agreed to deepen cooperation in areas of diplomacy, trade, investment, and collaboration in the areas of artificial intelligence, R&D, governance, health and medical science, climate science, biotechnology, and conservation. Yet despite the pledges of cooperation and partnership, economic, security, and political factors limit full expression of the enhanced partnership.

President Joe Biden’s promise for the US to “stand with Israel” continues a special relationship that dates back to 1948, when President Harry Truman became the first world leader to recognize the Jewish state, moments after its creation.

There’s now a kibbutz named after Truman in Israel, and the US provides billions in military support to Israel each year.

The Israel-Hamas war: No matter who loses, Iran wins

theconversation.com

There will be only one winner in the war that has broken out between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas. And it is neither Israel nor Hamas.

In an operation coined “the Al-Aqsa Storm,” Hamas, whose formal name is the Islamic Resistance Movement, fired thousands of rockets into Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad fighters infiltrated Israel by land, sea and air. Hundreds of Israelis have been killed, more than 2,000 injured, and many taken hostage.
