伊朗情報部周二宣布，它已經殺死了一個組織的領導人，該組織聲稱該組織受到敵視伊朗國家情報部門的支持和指導。
據伊朗媒體報導，該組織據稱計劃襲擊伊朗的敏感和重要地點。該組織的所有成員都被伊朗情報部門逮捕。
情報部沒有具體說明哪些敵對國家支持該組織，但伊朗國家廣播電台IRIB在消息公佈後播放了一部紀錄片，指的是美國總統喬·拜登和以色列總理納夫塔利·貝內特的會晤，並暗示美國和以色列落後於集團。


這部紀錄片似乎還暗示該組織在阿塞拜疆武裝，展示了阿塞拜疆首都巴庫的照片，同時說明它在“一個鄰國”武裝。
7 月，伊朗情報部聲稱，它逮捕了一個摩薩德特工網絡，並在他們通過西部邊境進入伊朗後繳獲了大量武器和彈藥。據該部稱，繳獲的武器包括手槍、手榴彈和霰彈槍，其中一些武器已被用來在抗議期間“挑起衝突”。

Iran's Intelligence Ministry announced on Tuesday that it had killed the leader of a group that it claimed was supported and guided by the intelligence services of countries hostile to Iran.
The group allegedly planned to strike sensitive and vital sites in Iran, according to Iranian media. All members of the group were arrested by Iranian intelligence forces.
The Intelligence Ministry did not specify which hostile states were supporting the group, but Iran's state broadcast IRIB broadcast a documentary after the news was announced, referring to the meeting of US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and insinuating that the US and Israel were behind the group.
The documentary also seemed to insinuate that the group was armed in Azerbaijan, showing pictures of Baku, Azerbaijan's capital, while stating that it was armed in "one of the neighboring countries."
In July, Iran’s Intelligence Ministry claimed that it had arrested a network of Mossad agents and seized a heavy shipment of weapons and ammunition after they entered Iran through its western border. The seized weapons included pistols, grenades and shotguns, according to the ministry, which added that some of the weapons have been used to “provoke clashes” during protests.

在阿塞拜疆開始針對伊朗卡車進行罰款和逮捕之後，最近幾週阿塞拜疆和伊朗之間的緊張局勢加劇，伊朗將軍隊轉移到與阿塞拜疆的邊界，並警告以色列在其邊界附近不要施加影響。
8 月，阿塞拜疆外交部邀請伊朗駐阿塞拜疆大使，理由是“不受歡迎的事實”涉及伊朗卡車未經阿塞拜疆許可非法進入卡拉巴赫地區。阿塞拜疆外交部發表聲明稱，伊朗新政府將採取措施結束此類事件。
據RFE / RL稱，這些卡車正在亞美尼亞城鎮卡潘和戈里斯之間的一條公路上行駛，這條公路部分穿過去年納戈爾諾-卡拉巴赫戰爭後移交給阿塞拜疆的領土。這條由俄羅斯維和人員巡邏的高速公路是亞美尼亞與伊朗的唯一通道。
據 RFE/RL 稱，本月早些時候，阿塞拜疆軍隊設立了一個檢查站，並開始對在高速公路上行駛的伊朗商用卡車徵稅和檢查。一些伊朗卡車司機甚至被捕。
阿塞拜疆官員表示，阿塞拜疆法律要求所有外國車輛，而不僅僅是伊朗車輛，進入該國支付道路和過境費。
阿塞拜疆總統伊利哈姆阿利耶夫週二在接受土耳其阿納多盧通訊社採訪時對伊朗卡車繼續通過阿塞拜疆領土表示憤慨，質疑為什麼伊朗如此堅持與一個只有 25,000 名居民的地區繼續進行貿易。
“這個市場真的那麼重要嗎？這個貿易真的那麼重要，以至於你對一個你認為友好和兄弟般的國家表現出如此徹底的不尊重嗎？” 阿利耶夫對阿納多盧機構說。
由於阿塞拜疆和土耳其在里海進行了聯合軍事演習，最近緊張局勢也有所加劇，伊朗外交部警告說，此類演習違反了國際公約，禁止與該海接壤的五個國家以外的國家軍事存在。
在接受阿納多盧通訊社採訪時，阿塞拜疆總統對伊朗決定在其邊境舉行軍事演習表示震驚，稱這是阿塞拜疆 30 年獨立歷史上第一次發生這種情況。
雖然阿利耶夫承認每個國家都有在自己領土上進行軍事演習的主權，但他質疑伊朗為什麼選擇這個特定時間這樣做。總統強調，他“不希望看到會破壞該地區長期合作的單一事實”，並希望對阿塞拜疆“合法步驟”的“情緒反應”是暫時的。
採訪結束後，伊朗外交部發言人賽義德·哈蒂布扎德表示，阿利耶夫的言論“令人驚訝”，因為這些問題應該通過適當的渠道而不是媒體來處理。
關於即將舉行的伊朗軍事演習，哈蒂布扎德表示，其目的是“保護地區安全”，但他補充說，伊朗“不會容忍以色列政權在其邊界附近的存在，即使這是儀式性的”，並且“將採取任何它認為必要的行動”保護其國家安全。”
伊朗外長侯賽因·阿米爾-阿卜杜拉希安上週在聯合國大會期間與阿塞拜疆外交部長傑洪·拜拉莫夫會面時強調了兩國之間良好關係的重要性，但補充說“不應允許某些第三方影響良好關係，”據伊朗 IRNA 通訊社報導。
“第三方”評論被一些人解釋為指的是以色列，它是阿塞拜疆的盟友，但卻是伊朗的敵人。
伊斯蘭革命衛隊 (IRGC) 陸軍指揮官穆罕默德·帕克普爾 (Mohammad Pakpour) 週二警告說，伊朗希望鄰國不會“成為猶太復國主義政權邪惡行為的溫床”，據伊斯蘭革命衛隊附屬機構稱。塔斯尼姆通訊社。
這位指揮官說：“伊斯蘭共和國希望我們的鄰國邊境地區和鄰國為各國和該地區提供安全可靠的環境。” “因此，預計他們在對此加倍敏感的同時，不會允許像猶太復國主義政權這樣對穆斯林國家的陰謀和惡意不向任何人隱瞞的外國勢力，讓我們鄰國的土壤成為基石。以實現其邪惡和犯罪的目標。”
帕克普爾警告說，“毫無疑問”以色列正在幫助“該地區的一些國家”，目的是在穆斯林國家之間製造不和和分裂。
帕克普爾說：“我們不能接受一些國家在第三國的影響下，就促進伊斯蘭共和國作戰部隊的戰備狀態發表不切實際和挑釁性的言論，破壞我們的行動。” “鄰國政府比任何人都更清楚舉行伊朗演習的原因。”
帕克普爾強調，伊朗沒有對近幾個月該地區國家進行的 37 次演習作出反應，並尊重每個國家進行演習的不可剝奪權利。
伊朗陸軍地面部隊指揮官基烏馬爾斯·海達里 (Kiomars Heydari) 週四宣布，將於週五在伊朗西北部開始一項名為“海巴爾征服者”的演習，以測試武器和裝備並評估武裝部隊在任何領域的準備情況據伊朗法爾斯通訊社報導，沿著伊朗邊境。
演習的名稱“海巴爾的征服者”可能是對海巴爾戰役的參考，在這場戰役中，由穆罕默德領導的穆斯林在海巴爾與猶太人作戰，最終擊敗了他們並向他們徵稅。
與伊朗最高領袖阿里·哈梅內伊有關聯的報紙Kayhan發表的一篇評論文章警告說，美國、土耳其、阿塞拜疆、亞美尼亞和以色列之間所謂的“隱形聯盟”可能會對伊朗和伊朗產生“重大影響”。俄羅斯在該地區的政治影響力。
該文章的作者警告說，土耳其和阿塞拜疆必須知道“伊朗可以以令人遺憾的方式挫敗為他們設計的陰謀”。
週二關於伊朗 IRIB 廣播公司的視頻報導似乎暗示，它最近挫敗的一個“恐怖”組織在阿塞拜疆武裝，展示了阿塞拜疆首都巴庫的照片，同時指出它在“一個鄰國”武裝。
伊朗情報部周二宣布，它已經殺死了一個組織的領導人，該組織聲稱該組織受到敵視伊朗國家情報部門的支持和指導。據伊朗媒體報導，該組織據稱計劃襲擊伊朗的敏感和重要地點。該組織的所有成員都被伊朗情報部門逮捕。
阿塞拜疆和以色列關係密切，阿塞拜疆總統在 5 月與尼扎米甘賈維國際中心的一次討論中說，與以色列的關係非常多樣化，在國防工業方面尤其強大。“阿塞拜疆可以完全獲得以色列國防工業產品，這已經不是什麼秘密了，”阿利耶夫當時說。
據報導，阿塞拜疆去年在與亞美尼亞的納戈爾諾-卡拉巴赫戰爭中使用了包括 LORA 導彈和以色列航空航天工業公司 (IAI) Harop 自殺式無人機在內的以色列武器。
Tensions grow with Azerbaijan as Iran moves forces to border
Tensions spiked between Azerbaijan and Iran recently surrounding trade with Armenia and military exercises in the region.

Tensions spiked between Azerbaijan and Iran in recent weeks after Azerbaijan began targeting Iranian trucks with fines and arrests, and Iran moved military forces to its border with Azerbaijan and warned against Israeli influence near its borders.
In August, the Azerbaijan Foreign Ministry invited the Iranian Ambassador to Azerbaijan, due to "undesirable facts" concerning what it called illegal travel of Iranian trucks to the Karabakh region without the permission of Azerbaijan. A statement by the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry stated that the new Iranian administration would take steps to end such incidents.
The trucks in question were traveling on a road between the Armenian towns of Kapan and Goris which partially crosses through territory handed over to Azerbaijan after the Nagorno-Karabakh war last year, according to RFE/RL. The highway, patrolled by Russian peacekeepers, is Armenia's only link to Iran.
Earlier this month, Azerbaijani forces set up a checkpoint and began taxing and inspecting Iranian commercial trucks traveling on the highway, according to RFE/RL. A number of Iranian truck drivers were even arrested.
Azerbaijani officials have stated that Azerbaijani law requires all foreign vehicles, not just Iranian ones, entering the country to pay road and transit fees.
In an interview with the Turkish Anadolu Agency on Tuesday, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev expressed outrage at the continued travel of Iranian trucks through Azerbaijani territory, questioning why Iran was so insistent on continuing trade to a region with only 25,000 inhabitants.
"Is this market really so important? Is this trade really so important that you show such outright disrespect for a country you consider friendly and fraternal?" said Aliyev to Anadolu Agency.
Tensions also rose recently due to joint military exercises carried out by Azerbaijan and Turkey in the Caspian Sea, with the Iranian Foreign Ministry warning that such drills violated international conventions banning the military presence of countries other than the five states which border the sea.
In the interview with Anadolu Agency, the Azerbaijani president expressed shock at Iran's decision to hold a military exercise along its border, saying it was the first time in Azerbaijan's 30-year history of independence that this had occurred.
While Aliyev admitted that every country has the sovereign right to conduct military exercises in its own territory, he questioned why Iran chose this specific time to do so. The president stressed that he does "not wish to see a single fact that would undermine long-term cooperation in the region" and hopes that the "emotional reaction" to Azerbaijan's "legitimate steps" is temporary.
After the interview, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh stated that Aliyev's remarks were "surprising" as such issues should have been handled through proper channels and not the media.
Concerning the upcoming Iranian military drill, Khatibzadeh stated that it was aimed at "protecting regional security," adding however that Iran "will not tolerate the Israeli regime’s presence near its borders even if it’s ceremonial" and "will take any actions it deems necessary to protect its national security."
In a meeting with Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly last week, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stressed the importance of good relations between the two countries, but added that "some third parties should not be allowed to affect the good relations," according to the Iranian IRNA news agency.
The "third parties" comment has been interpreted by some as referring to Israel, an ally of Azerbaijan, but an enemy of Iran.
On Tuesday, Mohammad Pakpour, commander of the land forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), warned that Iran expected neighboring countries not "to be a breeding ground for the evil deeds of the Zionist regime," according to the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency.
"The Islamic Republic expects our neighboring border areas and neighboring countries to be a safe and secure environment for countries and the region," said the commander. "Therefore, it is expected that while being doubly sensitive to this, they will not allow a foreign element such as the Zionist regime, whose conspiracies and malice with the Muslim nations are not hidden from anyone, to make the soil of our neighbors a bedrock to achieve its evil and criminal goals."
Pakpour warned that there is "no doubt" that Israel is helping "some countries in the region" with the goal of created discord and division among Muslim countries.
"We cannot accept that some countries, under the influence of third countries, make unrealistic and provocative statements regarding the promotion of the readiness of the combat units of the Islamic Republic and undermine our actions," said Pakpour. "Neighboring governments know better than anyone else the reasons for holding Iranian exercises."
Pakpour stressed that Iran had not reacted to 37 exercises conducted by countries in the region in recent months and respected the inalienable right of every country to conduct drills.
Kioumars Heydari, commander of the Iranian Army's Ground Forces, announced on Thursday that an exercise, named "Conquerors of Khaybar," would start on Friday in northwestern Iran in order to test weapons and equipment and assess the readiness of the armed forces in any arena and along the borders of Iran, according to the Iranian Fars News Agency.
The name of the exercise, "Conquerors of Khaybar," may be a reference to the Battle of Khaybar, in which the Muslims, led by Muhammad, fought against the Jews in Khaybar, eventually defeating and imposing a tax on them.
An opinion piece published in Kayhan, a newspaper associated with Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, warned against an alleged "invisible alliance" between the US, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Israel, saying that it could have a "major impact" on Iran's and Russia's political weight in the region.
The author of the piece warned that Turkey and Azerbaijan must know that "Iran can thwart the conspiracy designed for them in a regrettable way."
A video report on Iran's IRIB broadcaster on Tuesday seemed to insinuate that a "terrorist" group that it recently thwarted was armed in Azerbaijan, showing pictures of Baku, Azerbaijan's capital, while stating that it was armed in "one of the neighboring countries."
Iran's Intelligence Ministry announced on Tuesday that it had killed the leader of a group that it claimed was supported and guided by the intelligence services of countries hostile to Iran. The group allegedly planned to strike sensitive and vital sites in Iran, according to Iranian media. All members of the group were arrested by Iranian intelligence forces.
Azerbaijan and Israel have close ties, with the president of Azerbaijan saying in a discussion with The Nizami Ganjavi International Center in May that relations with Israel were very diverse and were especially strong in the defense industry. "It is no secret that Azerbaijan has full access to Israeli defense industry products," said Aliyev at the time.
Israeli arms, including the LORA missile and the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) Harop suicide drone, were reportedly used by Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh war with Armenia last year.
伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊聖城旅負責人暗示該組織在國內和中東的實力

近年來，與伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊有關的關鍵人物的崛起。伊斯蘭革命衛隊在伊朗已經有一個平行的國家，控制著部分經濟和外交政策，並建立新的軍事技術，如導彈、無人機和攻擊船。
據塔斯尼姆通訊社報導，伊斯蘭革命衛隊聖城部隊負責人伊斯梅爾·卡尼祝賀侯賽因·阿米爾-阿卜杜拉希安博士在訪問該部時當選為伊朗伊斯蘭共和國外交部長。
為什麼這很重要？過去，前伊斯蘭革命衛隊聖城部隊負責人卡西姆·蘇萊曼尼在報導中被視為“影子指揮官”，這個人物在中東四處走動，廣泛推動伊朗的議程，但他並不經常吹噓自己的角色。2020 年 1 月，美國在一次無人機襲擊中殺死了蘇萊曼尼，取而代之的是能力不明的卡尼 (Qaani)。傳聞卡尼是阿富汗問題專家，可能是他在那裡的角色幫助美國今年從喀布爾撤出，但他在伊拉克和敘利亞的角色尚未完全成型。
儘管如此，他在外交部會晤的報導試圖展示他的權力和影響力。報告稱，他在會議上強調了“外交部在維護我國國家利益方面的特殊和重要地位”。
但是，為什麼之前由在西方享有盛譽的賈瓦德·扎里夫（Javad Zarif）管理的魔法部需要聖城部隊的祝福？因為這說明了真正的權力結構以及該部如何與 IRGC 密切合作。
扎里夫——儘管他在必要時表現出與伊斯蘭革命衛隊關係密切，並在與西方觀眾交談時表現出“溫和”——但與蘇萊曼尼並不真正接近。有趣的是，該報告稱，阿米爾-阿卜杜拉希安“在讚賞薩達爾·卡尼在外交部的寶貴存在的同時，指出了蘇萊曼尼在反恐鬥爭中不可替代的作用。” 伊朗使用“恐怖主義”一詞來指代伊斯蘭國和其他極端分子。“今天我們的地區不同了，”部長顯然說。“如果伊斯蘭國在敘利亞和伊拉克取得成功，今天它就會在全世界面臨恐怖主義和極端主義。”
他們為什麼要討論ISIS？因為聖城軍幫助伊拉克擊敗了全球聖戰組織。報告稱：“阿米爾·阿卜杜拉希安稱伊斯蘭革命衛隊的聖城旅是一名無國界士兵，他們為……地區和全球安全與和平做出了巨大貢獻。” 這位部長說，今天伊朗尋求在該地區追隨蘇萊曼尼的道路，利用聖城旅來實現其擴大“與該地區國家的友誼”的目標。

需要注意的是，他多次使用“恐怖”一詞，伊朗最近指責以色列在伊朗發動“恐怖”襲擊。伊朗本週還吹噓擊敗了一個“恐怖組織”，伊朗的其他報導似乎表明，伊朗伊斯蘭共和國對阿塞拜疆感到憤怒，它指責阿塞拜疆與以色列關係密切。
伊朗最高外交官還指責美國是“恐怖主義”，並聲稱美國殺害蘇萊曼尼是“恐怖主義”。親伊朗組織經常聲稱美國支持 ISIS，即使它正在與 ISIS 作戰。
這意味著伊朗對“恐怖”一詞的使用非常廣泛，可能指聖城軍對以色列、美國和其他國家的行動，以及與伊斯蘭國的戰鬥。伊朗聲稱它是這個框架中的“抵抗軸心”。卡尼會議細節的公佈意在表明伊朗新政權與聖城軍密切配合。伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊聖城軍負責人暗示該組織在國內和中東的勢力

Iran's IRGC Quds Force head hints at group's power at home and Middle East
Qaani's meeting with the Foreign Ministry is to show coordination between Iran's diplomats and officers.

Recent years have seen an ascendancy of key individuals linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iran. The IRGC already has a parallel state in Iran, controlling parts of the economy and foreign policy, and building up new military technologies such as missiles, drones and attack boats.
According to the Tasnim News Agency, IRGC Quds Force head Ismail Qaani congratulated Dr. Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on his election as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran in a visit to the ministry.
Why does this matter? In the past, former IRGC Quds Force head Qasem Soleimani was seen as the “shadow commander” in reports, a figure who moved around the Middle East and pushed Iran’s agenda far and wide, but who did not often brag of his role. When the US killed Soleimani in a drone strike in January 2020, he was replaced by Qaani, a man of unclear abilities. Qaani was rumored to be an expert on Afghanistan, and it may be that his role there helped remove the US from Kabul this year, but his role in Iraq and Syria is not yet fully formed.
Nevertheless, the reports of his meeting at the Foreign Ministry seek to showcase his power and influence. In the meeting he emphasized “the special and significant position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in securing the national interests of our country,” the report said.
But why does the Ministry, previously run by Javad Zarif, who had fame in the West, need the blessings of the Quds Force? Because this illustrates the real power structure and how the ministry works hand in glove with the IRGC.
Zarif – although he postured as being close to the IRGC when necessary, and as a “moderate” when speaking to Western audiences – was not really close to Soleimani. Of interest here, the report says that Amir-Abdollahian, “while appreciating the valuable presence of Sardar Qaani in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, pointed to the irreplaceable role of Soleimani in the fight against terrorism.” Iran uses the term “terrorism” to refer to ISIS and other extremists. “Today our region was different,” the minister apparently said. “If ISIS had succeeded in Syria and Iraq, it would have faced terrorism and extremism all over the world today.”
Why did they discuss ISIS? Because the Quds Force helped Iraq defeat the worldwide jihadist group. “Amir Abdullahian called the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a soldier without borders who has made a great contribution… to regional and global security and peace,” the report says. The minister said that today Iran seeks to follow in the path of Soleimani in the region, using the Quds Force to achieve its goal of extending “friendship with the countries of the region.”

It’s important to note here that he used the word “terror” several times and that Iran has recently accused Israel of “terror” attacks in Iran. Iran also bragged this week about defeating a “terrorist group” and other reports in Iran appeared to indicate that the Islamic Republic was angry at Azerbaijan, which it has accused of having close ties to Israel.
Iran’s top diplomat also accuses the US of “terrorism” and claims the US killing of Soleimani was “terrorism.” Pro-Iran groups often claim that America backs ISIS, even though it is fighting ISIS.
This means the Iranian use of the term “terror” is quite broad and may refer to Quds Force action against Israel, the US and other countries, as well as the battle against ISIS. Iran claims it is the “axis of resistance” in this framework. The publication of details of the Qaani meeting is intended to show that the new regime of Iran coordinates closely with the Quds Force.Iran’s IRGC Quds Force head hints at group’s power at home and Middle East

“與以色列的戰爭已經開始，”伊朗外交部發言人賽義德·哈蒂布扎德告訴馬里夫。“以色列發動了旨在摧毀我們和平目的核計劃的襲擊。它謀殺了核科學家並傷害了伊朗人民。伊朗被指控為恐怖主義，但沒有好壞的恐怖分子。該地區的整個危機是以色列的錯。”
哈蒂布扎德後來聲稱，以色列“竭盡全力”阻撓維也納的核談判並引發伊朗與世界大國之間的衝突。他指責美國囤積藥品，讓本國人民挨餓，這是“軟恐怖主義”。
伊朗發言人表示，伊朗重返維也納第七輪核談判的戰略決定已經做出，伊朗已於兩週前向負責談判的歐盟代表宣布了這一消息。

當被問及他是否認為恢復核協議會阻止以色列採取軍事行動時，這位發言人回答說：“以色列嚴重破壞了我們的研究和民用系統。有傳言稱伊朗有核威脅，但以色列有數百枚炸彈，而且它從未簽署過《不擴散條約》。”
然而，在世界和平論壇上發言的哈蒂布扎德表示，“該地區已經厭倦了戰爭。我們必鬚根據聯合國決議找到解決問題的新方法。各方必須表現出做出安排的政治意願。”

"The war with Israel has already started," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh told Maariv. "Israel has carried out attacks that were intended to destroy our nuclear program for peaceful purposes. It murdered nuclear scientists and harmed the Iranian people. Iran is accused of terrorism, but there is no good or bad terrorist. The whole crisis in the region is Israel's fault."
Khatibzadeh later claimed that Israel had "done everything" to thwart the nuclear talks in Vienna and to cause conflict between Iran and the world powers. He accused the United States of "soft terrorism" by holding up medicine and starving the people of his country.
The Iranian spokesman said that Iran's strategic decision to return to the seventh round of nuclear talks in Vienna had already been made and that its country had already announced this two weeks ago to the EU representative responsible for the talks.

Asked if he thought a return to the nuclear deal would prevent a military operation by Israel, the spokesman replied: "Israel has severely damaged our research and civilian system. There is talk of an Iranian nuclear threat, but Israel has hundreds of bombs, and it has never signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty."
However, Khatibzadeh, who spoke at the World Peace Forum, said that "the region is tired of wars. We must find a new approach to solving the problems according to UN resolutions. All parties must show political will for an arrangement."
土耳其總統抨擊拜登政府與恐怖分子“手挽手”
在埃爾多安最近對拜登政府的襲擊中，土耳其特別提到了美國白宮中東和北非協調員布雷特麥格克。

土耳其總統雷傑普·塔伊普·埃爾多安 (Recep Tayyip Erdogan) 發表煽動性言論，抨擊美國官員與“恐怖分子”有關聯，此前土耳其與莫斯科舉行了高層會議。
土耳其反對美國在敘利亞東部的角色，美國幫助當地的敘利亞民主力量擊敗了伊斯蘭國。安卡拉執政黨支持敘利亞北部的極端分子，並對庫爾德人、基督徒和雅茲迪人進行種族清洗，過去經常抨擊美國。
在埃爾多安最近對拜登政府的襲擊中，土耳其特別提到了美國白宮中東和北非協調員布雷特麥格克。親政府的土耳其日報《沙巴日報》稱，埃爾多安“正在從索契返回的路上與記者交談，週三他在那裡會見了俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾·普京。”
“麥格克支持恐怖主義，幾乎成為庫爾德工人黨/YPG/PYD 的經理，”引述埃爾多安的話說。
據報導，他說：“這個人在我與恐怖分子作戰的地區與恐怖分子並肩作戰，這讓我深感不安。”
土耳其主要媒體報導了這些評論，表明執政黨希望這些評論廣為人知。
土耳其過去曾抨擊麥格克和拜登。2020年美國大選期間，安卡拉及其幾乎都與執政黨有聯繫的媒體經常抨擊拜登，公開支持特朗普。
土耳其的統治者埃爾多安與特朗普關係密切，並經常試圖利用媒體獲得美國的青睞，例如在美國騷亂期間試圖將自衛隊描繪成與“安提法”有聯繫。
2018年，土耳其指責美國在敘利亞東部訓練恐怖分子。當安卡拉使用“恐怖分子”一詞時，它通常指的是極左翼的庫爾德政治團體。沒有證據表明這些團體在敘利亞有任何“恐怖主義”。

美國認為 HTS 是一個與基地組織有聯繫的組織，該組織曾在伊德利卜省與土耳其合作，是一個類似於 ISIS 的恐怖組織。
美國還制裁了土耳其支持的極端組織 Ahrar al-Sharqiya，因為它在 2019 年 10 月土耳其入侵並佔領了敘利亞北部的部分地區時濫用職權。
這意味著土耳其和美國似乎都在指責對方支持恐怖分子。主要區別在於，Ahrar al-Sharqiya 和 HTS 等團體從事針對平民的恐嚇活動、鎮壓異議、謀殺和騷擾少數民族和婦女。美國支持的自衛隊沒有在敘利亞東部參與有記錄的恐怖襲擊。
土耳其聲稱自衛隊與 PKK 有聯繫，土耳其和美國都將其視為恐怖組織。土耳其入侵伊拉克北部的部分地區是為了打擊它聲稱的庫爾德工人黨。土耳其還對伊拉克辛賈爾的雅茲迪少數民族發動了多次空襲，聲稱正在打擊恐怖主義。
在一個案例中，安卡拉轟炸了一家醫療機構。目前還不清楚為什麼安卡拉聲稱要打擊“恐怖主義”，但為什麼經常與轟炸伊拉克和敘利亞的少數民族以及襲擊基督教、庫爾德和雅茲迪少數民族同時發生。
最近攻擊拜登政府中東團隊關鍵成員麥格克的言論旨在製造與華盛頓的分歧，並展示安卡拉與莫斯科的密切關係。安卡拉似乎正在放棄它現在在敘利亞可能與美國合作的任何藉口，使用通常的欺凌和仇恨言論，這是安卡拉對待美國的方式的基礎。安卡拉不會對伊朗、俄羅斯或其他牠喜歡的專制政權使用這種語言。
在埃爾多安的領導下，土耳其逐漸走向威權主義，壓制少數民族、婦女、LGBT 權利活動家和媒體。這也體現在支持哈馬斯和反以反美言論上。
目前尚不清楚美國是否會回應土耳其對麥格克和美國政府的煽動，土耳其自稱是美國的“北約盟友”。
Turkey’s president bashes Biden admin as being 'arm-in-arm' with terrorists
Turkey singled out US White House Coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa Brett McGurk in the recent attack by Erdogan on the Biden administration.

Incendiary comments by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan slamming US officials as being linked to “terrorists” came after Turkey held high-level meetings with Moscow.
Turkey opposes the US role in eastern Syria, where the US helped the local Syrian Democratic Forces defeat ISIS. Ankara’s ruling party, which has backed extremists in northern Syria and has ethnically cleansed Kurds, Christians and Yazidis, has frequently bashed the US in the past.
Turkey singled out US White House Coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa Brett McGurk in the recent attack by Erdogan on the Biden administration. Turkey’s Daily Sabah, a pro-government daily, said Erdogan was “speaking to reporters on his way back from Sochi, where he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday.”
“McGurk supports terrorism and has almost become the PKK/YPG/PYD’s manager,” Erdogan was quoted as saying.
“It deeply disturbs me that this man is arm in arm with terrorists in an area where I’m fighting them,” he reportedly said.
The comments were reported in leading Turkish media, indicating that the ruling party wants the comments to be known widely.
Turkey has slammed McGurk and Biden in the past. During the US election campaign in 2020, Ankara and its media, which is almost all linked to the ruling party, often slammed Biden and was openly pro-Trump.
Turkey’s ruler, Erdogan, had close relations with Trump and often tried to use the media to get favors from the US, such as trying to portray the SDF as linked to “Antifa” during riots in the US.
In 2018, Turkey accused the US of training terrorists in eastern Syria. When Ankara uses the term “terrorists,” it frequently refers to Kurdish political groups on the far Left. There is no evidence of any “terrorism” by these groups in Syria.

The US views HTS, a group linked to al-Qaeda that has worked with Turkey in Idlib province, as being a terrorist group similar to ISIS.
The US has also sanctioned Ahrar al-Sharqiya, a Turkey-backed extremist group, for abuses in October 2019 when Turkey invaded and occupied part of northern Syria.
This means that both Turkey and the US appear to accuse each other of backing terrorists. The main difference is that groups such as Ahrar al-Sharqiya and HTS have engaged in terrorizing activities against civilians, crushing dissent and murdering and harassing minorities and women. The US-backed SDF has not engaged in documented terrorist attacks in eastern Syria.
Turkey claims the SDF is linked to the PKK, which both Turkey and the US view as a terrorist group. Turkey has invaded part of northern Iraq to fight what it claims is the PKK. Turkey has also launched numerous airstrikes on Yazidi minorities in Sinjar in Iraq, claiming it is fighting terrorism.
In one case, Ankara bombed a medical facility. It is unclear why Ankara’s claims to fight “terrorism” often coincide with bombing minorities in Iraq and Syria and carrying out attacks against Christian, Kurdish and Yazidi minorities.
The recent comments attacking McGurk, a key member of the Biden administration’s Middle East team, is designed to create a divide with Washington and to showcase Ankara’s close relations with Moscow. Ankara appears to be ditching any pretense it might work with the US now in Syria, using the usual bullying and hate rhetoric that underpins how Ankara treats the US. Ankara doesn’t use such language with Iran, Russia or other authoritarian regimes it prefers.
Under Erdogan, Turkey has drifted toward increased authoritarianism, suppressing minorities, women, LGBT-rights activists and the media. This also manifests itself in support for Hamas and anti-Israel and anti-US comments.
It is unclear if the US will respond to the incitement against McGurk and the US administration by Turkey, which claims to be a “NATO ally” of the United States.
阿拉伯媒體的聲音：埃及的信仰自由

Al-Ahram，埃及，9 月 20 日
過去幾週，塞西總統在他發表的幾次演講中重申了一個重要觀點：尊重宗教和信仰自由的必要性。在總統發表講話的同時，愛資哈爾大學比較法學和伊斯蘭法教授謝赫·艾哈邁德·卡里馬 (Sheikh Ahmad Karima) 提供的證據表明，這種自由源於伊斯蘭法本身。Sheikh Karima 指出，在可蘭經文本中，有幾節經文證實了人有選擇如何實踐信仰的自由。上週在國家電視台播出的一次採訪中，謝赫卡里馬警告那些聲稱代表伊斯蘭教發言並壟斷我國宗教的人。他強調，每個人都有權以自己的方式觀察。
酋長提出的另一點是這種壟斷的起源。根據他的分析，是奧斯曼人改變了中東圍繞宗教的話語，將其從可以通過多種方式實踐的宗教轉變為只能基於一個法律來實踐的宗教。這也是我們地區許多宗教衝突的根源。不幸的是，儘管主要宗教學者做出了這些澄清，但我們中間的極端分子仍然堅持他們的宗教解釋和世界觀的正確性。他們自動攻擊任何改革宗教的企圖，並強烈反對平等、寬容和社會凝聚力的原則。因此，我們別無選擇，只能通過我們可以使用的一切手段對付他們。我們必須利用媒體傳播不同的寬容和希望信息。我們必須進行立法改革，增強人們通過他們看到的任何儀式自由信奉宗教的權利
合身。塞西總統在授權在清真寺旁邊建立和擴建教堂方面提供了一個很好的例子。與宗教原教旨主義作鬥爭的唯一方法是教育群眾反對它並取締極端分子的活動。只有這樣，我們才能讓公眾相信他們的想法是危險的，必須受到我們所有人的譴責和譴責。

Freedom of Belief and Religion in Egypt

Al-Ahram, Egypt, September 20
In the past few weeks, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi repeated an important point in several of the speeches he delivered: the need to respect the freedom of religion and belief. In parallel with the president’s remarks, Sheikh Ahmad Karima, professor of comparative jurisprudence and Islamic law at Al-Azhar University, provided evidence that such freedom had strong origins in Islamic law itself. In the Koranic text, Sheikh Karima pointed out, there were several verses confirming man’s freedom to choose how to practice his belief. In an interview aired on national television last week, Sheikh Karima warned against those who claimed to speak on behalf of Islam and monopolize religion in our country. Each person, he emphasized, had the right to observe in his own way.
Another point raised by the sheikh was the origin of this monopoly. According to his analysis, it was the Ottomans who changed the discourse surrounding religion in the Middle East, and turned it from a religion that can be practiced in a multitude of ways into a religion that must only be practiced based on one law. This was also the source of a lot of our region’s religious strife. Unfortunately, despite these clarifications from leading religious scholars, extremists in our midst still insist on the correctness of their religious interpretations and worldviews. They automatically attack any attempt to reform religion and vehemently oppose the principles of equality, tolerance, and social cohesion. We thus have no other choice but to confront them through all means available at our disposal. We must take advantage of media outlets to spread a different message of tolerance and hope. We must enact legislative reforms that enhance people’s rights to practice religion freely, through whatever rituals they see
fit. President Sisi provided a great example in authorizing the establishment and expansion of churches alongside mosques. The only way to battle religious fundamentalism is to educate the masses against it and outlaw the activity of extremists. Only then will we convince the public that their ideas are dangerous and must be decried and condemned by all of us.

激進分子說，聯合國安理會必須投資於基層以巴和平
“聯合國通過了一項又一項的決議，”羅斯巴特說。“但為了在以色列人和巴勒斯坦人之間建立和平，我請你考慮投資於社會和平。”

聯合國安理會應投資於基層和平建設，而不是通過關於以巴衝突的決議，活動家梅雷迪思·羅斯巴特 (Meredith Rothbart) 週三在紐約集會時告訴這個由 15 名成員組成的機構。
“我是以色列猶太人，”草根組織 Amal Tikvah 的聯合創始人兼首席執行官羅斯巴特說，該組織旨在促進以色列人和巴勒斯坦人之間的公民社會和平建設。“我是一名猶太復國主義者，在耶路撒冷與你交談，”她解釋道。
“聯合國通過了一項又一項的決議，”羅斯巴特說。“但為了在以色列人和巴勒斯坦人之間建立和平，我請你考慮投資於社會和平。承諾投資於真正和平所需的基礎設施。幫助我們建立一個多邊的實體。”
羅斯巴特說，聯合國的投資可以改變小規模項目，例如關注氣候變化、糧食安全、女性創業或鄰近社區中心的項目。
羅斯巴特說，愛爾蘭大使邀請她發言並非巧合，因為該國知道“民間社會建設和平的力量”。所有觀察我們政治現實的人都清楚，最高外交級別的談判目前不會帶來實質性的和平。
“奧斯陸協議之所以失敗，是因為該協議來自精英領導人之間的秘密程序，沒有女性，沒有宗教領袖，也沒有希望用暴力破壞進程的代表。我們不要再這樣做了。

“我們知道，民間社會的和平建設不僅是積極的一步，而且也是有效的，它是通過談判達成和平協議的必要先決條件，尤其是在難以解決的衝突中。”
羅斯巴特說，衝突的“難以處理的性質”必須“分解成可以“一一解決”的“可管理部分”。
“我們必須建立一種普遍的信念，即和平實際上是可能的，所有人，以色列人和巴勒斯坦人，在追求和平過程中都扮演著不可或缺的角色和責任，”她說。
耶路撒冷法律援助與人權中心的巴勒斯坦活動家邁法薩赫也應愛爾蘭邀請在聯合國安理會發表講話。
她的言論集中在以色列人的定居點擴張上，概述了它對約旦河西岸和東耶路撒冷的巴勒斯坦人造成的傷害。
“以色列的行動正在破壞兩國解決方案和該地區和平的可能性，”她說。“定居者暴力在維持西岸定居點方面發揮著關鍵作用。此類暴力行為的形式包括口頭攻擊和恐嚇、人身攻擊直至謀殺、財產破壞、[和] 土地圍欄等措施。
“以色列的限制性和規劃政策阻止巴勒斯坦人支付或獲得建築許可。這導致西岸和東耶路撒冷 C 區的大多數巴勒斯坦人和貝都因人容易遭受房屋損失。房屋拆毀和暴力的後果對這些地區的巴勒斯坦人的心理健康產生了深遠的影響。”
愛爾蘭大使聯合國杰拉爾丁·伯恩·納森 (Geraldine Byrne Nason) 曾邀請兩位年輕女性發言，她的國家在 9 月擔任了輪值理事會主席。
“我們聽到了你們的聲音，”她告訴他們。“這是我的觀點，是你們這一代人，也許是你們的性別，才是巴勒斯坦和以色列更光明未來的關鍵。”
UNSC must invest in grassroots Israeli-Palestinian peace, activist says

The UN Security Council should invest in grassroots peace-building rather than passing resolutions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, activist Meredith Rothbart told the 15-member body when it gathered in New York on Wednesday.
“I’m a Jewish-Israeli,” said Rothbart, co-founder and CEO of the grassroots group Amal Tikvah that promotes civic society peace-building between Israelis and Palestinians. “I am a reli
