Just war theory
Just war theory (Latin: jus bellum justum) is a doctrine, also referred to as a tradition, of military ethics studied by military leaders, theologians, ethicists and policy makers. The purpose of the doctrine is to ensure war is morally justifiable through a series of criteria, all of which must be met for a war to be considered just. The criteria are split into two groups: “right to go to war” (jus ad bellum) and “right conduct in war” (jus in bello). The first concerns the morality of going to war, and the second the moral conduct within war.[1] Recently there have been calls for the inclusion of a third category of just war theory—jus post bellum—dealing with the morality of post-war settlement and reconstruction.
Just war theory postulates that war, while terrible (but less so with the right conduct), is not always the worst option. Important responsibilities, undesirable outcomes, or preventable atrocities may justify war.[1]
Opponents of just war theory may be either inclined to a stricter pacifist standard (proposing that there has never been and/or can never be a justifiable basis for war) or toward a more permissive nationalist standard (proposing that a war need only serve a nation’s interests to be justifiable). In many cases, philosophers state that individuals need not be of guilty conscience if required to fight. A few ennoble the virtues of the soldier while declaring their apprehensions for war itself.[2] A few, such as Rousseau, argue for insurrection against oppressive rule.
The historical aspect, or the “just war tradition”, deals with the historical body of rules or agreements that have applied in various wars across the ages. The just war tradition also considers the writings of various philosophers and lawyers through history, and examines both their philosophical visions of war’s ethical limits and whether their thoughts have contributed to the body of conventions that have evolved to guide war and warfare.[3]

Movie Review “September of Shiraz”
Movie Review “September of Shiraz.”
Introduction:
In 2007, Ms. Dalia Sofer published the novel “The September of Shiraz.” In 2015, Wayne Blair directed a movie based on the story of Ms. Sofer’s “The September of Shiraz.”
Historical Background:
It is important to give a background to this movie; it enables the movie watchers to understand the story of this movie in a better light.
Jewish people are part of the Iranian community. The story of Jewish people goes back to Cyrus the Great when God told Cyrus the Great in his vision to go to Babylon to liberate Jewish people. Cyrus the Great freed the Jewish people and provided the Jewish people with financial resources to build the Temple in Jerusalem.
Xerxes the Great married Esther, who was a Jewish person. Esther told Xeres the Great about the diabolical plan of Haman, who was the King’s chief adviser. When Xerxes the Great became aware of Haman’s sinister plan, the King issued a death sentence to Haman.
In the contemporary history of Iran, Reza Shah Pahlavi the Great protected Iranian-Jewish and did not allow any harm. Also, in 1937, Abdol Hossein Sardari was an Iranian diplmat in Paris. When he became aware of the full nature of Nazi ambitions, he began issuing hundreds of Iranian passports for non-Iranian Jews to save them from persecution. To safeguard his plan, he did not ask for permission and felt that he had the implied support of Iranian leadership. His actions were later confirmed and applauded by the government of Iran.
During Pahlavi Dynasty and Iranian Jewish
When the Pahlavi Dynasty governed Iran, each person’s faith had no reflection of the person. The Jewish people in Iran were loyal to Iran and never took any action to undermind the sovereignty of Iran. They were the pioneer of the modern economy of Iran. For example, Habib Elghanian contributed to the economic growth of Iran.
The Movie:
Introduction:
The opening scene of the movie goes back to August 1979, and Iran is going through the mayhem. Nothing is stable; everything is upside down. Isaac Amin is a having a jewelry store and is not involved in politics. His wife Farnaz is a housewife.
Class Conflict:
During the 1979 Revolution in Iran, Marxist factions allied with the Islamist faction and called their political ideology Marxist-Islamist. They believed the affluent family escape the cycle of poverty at the expense of proletarians. The issue of class conflict emerged during the plot of the movie when the housekeeper began to talk with Farnaz and accused her of preventing her from having a life-chance (Max Weber terminology). Farnaz illustrated to her that she and her son escaped the cycle of poverty.
In 1963, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi abolished the feudal system and implemented the welfare-liberal political economy in Iran. This system allowed Iranians to escape the cycle of poverty, and the class conflict became less relevant. However, the clerics and the left-wing factions push on the agenda of class conflict spearheaded.
The revolutionary forces formed kangaroo courts and began to apprehend people without legal merit. The revolutionary forces also arrested Mr. Amin. Mr. Amin’s family did not know where he was and what he was doing. The captors tortured him physically and psychologically. Mr. Amin bribed his captor Mohsen with his life-saving. Mohsen accepted the bribe and allowed Amin to leave the prison.
When Amin left the prison, he went to his jewellery store and saw his store is empty. He had a safe spot to hide several diamonds. Amin opened the safe place and took the diamonds out. When he was leaving the building, he saw the housekeeper’s son Morteza at the entrance of the building. Morteza demanded the diamond. Amin was not going to give his diamonds to him. Morteza began to blackmail Amin by showing a recommendation letter from Her Imperial Majesty Farah Pahlavi to Amin. The recommendation letter carried a death sentence. Amin convinced Morteza that his case against Amin had no legal consequences. Amin went to his home and reunited with his daughter and wife.
They talked with one smuggler who arranged for them to escape Iran.
Voice of Balouch of Iran
AyatoSatans or Mullahs are plundering Iran’s wealth and are depositing Iran’s wealth in western nations. Consequently, the mullahs in Iran do not have the cash to invest in Iran’s economy. Iranians deprive of necessities of life such as water, shelter, food and medication.
Iran is composed of different ethnic groups, and one ethnic group is Balouch. This region of Iran is called Balouchistan. Balouch people are buying fuel in Iran and are using their means of transportation, and are taking the fuel to Pakistan to sell.
About several days ago, the Revolutionary Guards began to machine gun Iranian-Balouch for no reason at the border. Now, the mullah forces are killing people randomly. The rest of Iran, in solidarity with the Balouch people, revolted in Iran.
Applying Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to Iranians
Poverty is widespread in Iran. The suicide rate is on the rise, with no interest to decline in Iran. Children commit suicide, too, because they see their parents cannot afford the necessities of life. After all, the mullahs in Iran are stealing Iran’s natural resources and asking China to extract Iran’s natural resources to have financial resources to buy guns and bullets from Russia to wage war in the region. The remaining cash in the mullahs’ hands transferred to the US, Canada, and European Nations to do money-laundry.
The bottom line, there is darkness in people’s life in Iran. Iranians do not see the light of hope or ray of joy in their life what they experience daily, hopelessness.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is an excellent measurement to illustrate the pain and suffering Iranians face at the hands of mullahs in Iran.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a triangle; it divides into five categories: physiological needs, safety needs, belongingness and love needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization.
Physiological needs:
The Physiological needs are food, water, warmth and rest.
On February 08th, 2020, The Borgen Project reported that:
“Economic Downshift: According to the Iranian Parliament’s Research Center, between 23 to 40 percent of Iran’s population will be living in absolute poverty soon. This is due to an increase in unemployment, inflation and a downward trend in economic growth. The Research Center’s report shows that the inflation rate has risen to 47 percent from 2018 to 2019 and estimates that 57 million more Iranians will fall into poverty over 2020″1 from the population of 80 million.
“Sanctions and Corruption: Iran’s banking and oil sectors are its backbone, but U.S. sanctions have greatly affected these sectors, causing an economic crisis in Iran. Many Iranian’s have fallen victim to panic-buying due to fear of price increases. Internal corruption has led to an occasional scarcity of goods due to merchants and entrepreneurs hoarding goods to increase prices.”2
Therefore, the theocratic regime in Iran is not providing physiological needs to Iranians. Today, Iranians cannot afford house rents, and they are sleeping in empty graves of the cemeteries.3 The mullahs in Iran, with their vengeance in their hearts to destroy Israel and child-like thinking that the mullahs will control the world one day, the mullahs allocated funds toward destruction and ignored the welfare of Iranians. Iranians force to sleep on the rooftops of someone.4
Safety needs:
This section covers the issues of security and safety. Iranians are not allowed to exercise freedom of speech. Suppose a person is expressing their ideas contrary to the mullahs’ domestic or foreign policies. In that case, the mullahs’ security apparatus will apprehend the person and falsely accuse the person of collaborating with foreign nations for fomenting a revolution in Iran.
In November 2019, Iranians came to the street to have a peaceful assembly to express their low living standard frustrations to the mullahs. The security forces used deadly forces against the peaceful assembly participants. The mullahs killed over 1500 individuals to silent the voice of justice in Iran.
Belongingness and love needs:
Intimate relationship, friends
The mullahs are having monopoly control over physical intimacy. The mullahs in Iran do not allow adults to have consensual physical intimacy unless they pay a fee to a mullah to give a couple permission to have physical intimacy. It is called Sigeh.
It is difficult for Iranians to trust one another because the mullahs encourage people to report one another to the system.
Esteem needs:
Prestige and feeling accomplishment
The mullahs are controlling Iran’s economy. Iranians are not part of the inner circle of mullahs’ security; Iranians deprive of accomplishment. Max Weber defines prestige as a means of owning property. Iranians cannot own anything. Currently, the mullahs children are known as Rich Kids of Tehran; they enjoy a luxurious lifestyle outside of Iran and Iran.
Self-actualization:
Achieving one’s full potential, including creative activities
Iranians cannot move from stage one to stage two. How can they do reach self-actualization?
Therefore, Iranians are not having economic prosperity. Iranians have sadness and hopelessness in their life. Emile Durkheim’s theory about suicide stems from a lack of solidarity. Iranians are not having hope for a better future. Plus, Iranians cannot get close to one another as they are afraid of one another because the mullahs are killing them as enemies of the state.

Say No to Ayatollah, Say Yes to AyatoSatan
There is no god, but God and Muhammad is God’s messenger.
Muhammad was born 570 CE and died on June 08th, 632 CE at age 0f 61 or 61 years old. “Muhammad’s early years prior to becoming a prophet at the age of forty in 610 C.E…serves both as God’s human instrument in bearing His revelation and as the model or ideal all believers should emulate.”1
Muhammad’s faith of “Islam, the second largest of the world’s religion, is indeed a world presence and force.”2 “Islam stands in a long line of Semitic, prophetic religious tradition that shares an uncompromising monotheism, and belief in God’s revelation, His prophets, ethical; responsibility and accountability, and the Day of Judgment. Indeed, Muslims, like Christian and Jews, are Children of Abraham.”3
Muhammad’s faith, Islam, means submission to the will of Allah. Muslim means a person who is submitting to the will of Allah. The religion of Islam does not give a choice to its followers.
According to his follower, Muhammad was a prophet who had a message to people to warn others about the coming of the Judgment Day “O men, I am only for you a warner. Those who believe and do deeds of righteousness-theirs shall be forgiveness and generous provision. And those who strive against Our signs to avid them-they shall be inhabitants of Hell. (Quran 22:49-50)” Page 9
Prophet Muhammad did not use any title for himself and was buried in a modest grave. However, the religious figures in Iran are giving themselves the title of Ayatollah, which is blasphemy, and people must not associate anything with Allah.
Islam has five pillars, “The pillars are practices, which is to say that they are described and defined in terms of activity.”4 The first pillar of Islam is about the unity of God; it is called Shahadat, which his followers cannot violate Shahadat under any circumstances. When a Muslim person is dying, s/he must recite the Shahadat before closing her/his eyes to eternity. It is the last rite of a Muslim person. The Shahadat confirms, “There is no god, but God and Muhammad is God’s messenger.”5
The mullahs in Iran are giving themselves the title of Ayatollah. It means Sign of God. Are the mullahs Sign of God? Are they doing anything divine for Iran and Iranians?
The theocratic regime in Iran came to power in 1979 by using Machiavellian skills of fear, fraud and force. It is far from being divine. The regime’s domestic and foreign policies have a direct connection to Satanic principles such as:
- People will stop offering prayers
- Dishonesty will be the way of life
- Falsehood will prevail
- Blood of innocents would be shed
- The oppressed will be proud of their actions
- The rulers will be corrupt and fools
- Widespread Adultery.
- Sins will be committed openly
- False testimony will be accepted
In conclusion, the mullahs associate themselves with God and demand the public to be called Ayatollah. Their domestic and foreign policies are promoting evil acts in Iran and outside of Iran. The mullahs are not worshiping God; they are worshiping Satan. People must call them AyatoSatan, the Sign of Satan.
When Cain killed his brother Able, God put a mark on Cain so he cannot hide; what is so impressive that the mullahs in Iran have spots on their foreheads. The mullahs have marks on their foreheads to deceive the public that they are continually praying to God. However, it is the Cain mark on their foreheads because for the mullahs to kill innocent individuals are committed willingly without fear of God.

The US Is Working With Mullahs in Iran
The US is working with the mullahs in Iran is no longer a figment of the imagination. It is a concrete fact that cannot be denied any longer. Just take actor Shahab Hosseini as a prime example, an ultra-conservative follower of Sign of Allah (Ayatollah) Ali Khameini.
Shahab Hosseini moved to the Great Satan or the United States of America; he plays the lead role in Ali Javan’s up-coming movie.
Mr. Khameini issued a religious decree that no one is allowed to use the Pfizer vaccine. However, Shahab Hosseini is using the Pfizer vaccine in the US.
Therefore, Shahab Hosseini is living in the US. It is the same country that he chanted “Death to America.” The US knows who Shahab Hosseini is. The US is doing elite accommodation for him and other actors from theocratic regime’s inner circle. Otherwise, no one can go to the US without prior approval from the US immigration administration.
One fact matters the most that the current policy stipulates only elderly individuals are allowed to be vaccinated, or staff are working in hospitals, long-term care facilities, police officers and paramedics. Shahab Hosseini is not part of essential workers.

Khomeini Besmirched the King for Westernization
In August 1941, England and Soviet Union armies invaded Iran under the pretext that King of Kings Reza Pahlavi collaborated with Nazi Germany. Despite the fact, Iran declared itself a neutral state and did not want to participate in World War II. Most importantly, the King did not collaborate with Nazi Germany, and He saved the European Jewish people jaw of death.
Daughter of “Fatemeh Haddad Adel,” niece of “Gholam Ali Haddad Adel,” and cousin of “Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei.”
On September 16th, 1941, King Reza Pahlavi descended from the Peacock Throne, and His son Mohammad Reza Pahlavi ascended to the Peacock Throne.
Reza Shah Pahlavi and Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi had the policy of modernizing Iran. The domestic policy of modernizing Iran did not go so well with the mullahs in Iran. The mullahs wanted Iranians to live in the dark ages to control the masses. The King’s modernity policy was to revive Iran to the golden age of Cyrus the Great.
Khomeini Hindi had a platitude platform to besmirch Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi for the Westernization of Iran what Khomeini was trying to say that the King astray from Islam’s faith.
In 1979, US President Jimmy Carter, British Broadcasting Corporation, France and Germany installed Khomeini in power in Iran.
Khomeini implemented Islamic laws in Iran, and everyone must observe the Islamic laws. Anyone found in violation of Islamic laws they are guilty of waging war against Allah. The convicted person faces punishment such as death, stoning to death, lashing, torture, and many other punishment forms are cruel and unusual practices by the mullahs in Iran. However, some individuals have the law’s immunity and not to face any punishment. They are the inner circle of the mullah’s gang members. They steal money from public funds and enjoy a luxurious lifestyle inside of Iran and outside of Iran. They even pose nude pictures of themselves, and nothing happens to them.
Some Iranian women are bodybuilders and cannot compete in the body-building competition because the Islam laws prohibit women from showing her body.
In conclusion, the Western powers like England, the US, Germany, and France did not like the Pahlavi dynasty because the Pahlavi dynasty was moving Iran toward modernity. The Western power installed Khomeini in Iran to move Iran backward. It cultivated an atmosphere of mullah privilege that they did not spread corruption on earth or waging war against Allah. They had a normal lifestyle at taxpayers’ expense.
