My Thoughts on the U.S. Attack on Iran’s Nuclear Sites. Turn Blind Eyes the role of the UN as peace keeper. The Jungle law rules begins
Whether people like Iran or not, it’s still a country with borders, rights, and sovereignty. And the U.S., without clear justification or a UN mandate, decided to strike it directly. That’s not diplomacy. Trump starts a war with Iran and it’s an illegal act of aggression against the country of Iran.
If this isn't a violation of international law, what is?
The United States, one of the most powerful nations on Earth, has reportedly attacked Iran’s nuclear sites. And what shocks me the most is not just the attack itself but the complete violation of international law and the deafening silence from the global community.
Let’s be honest: this is an act of war. The attack targets critical infrastructure in a sovereign country. Whether one supports Iran or not, the principle remains the same no country has the right to launch attacks without the backing of international law or the United Nations. What we’re seeing here is not diplomacy or defense. This is raw aggression.
And worse this is not the first time. We’ve seen this before. When smaller countries step out of line, they are quickly punished: sanctioned, invaded, or politically isolated. But when powerful countries like the U.S. or its close ally Israel act outside the rules, the world looks away, pretending not to see
.
A World of Double Standards
This is exactly what’s wrong with international politics today: double standards. If any smaller country had done what the U.S. just did, it would have faced immediate condemnation, sanctions, and maybe even military response. But when it’s the U.S., the “international community” remains silent. Why? Because power speaks louder than principles.
Let’s be clear: attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities without international consent is illegal under international law. It violates Iran’s sovereignty and defies the very rules that the UN Charter is supposed to protect. Yet the U.S. continues to act as judge, jury, and executioner deciding who can have weapons, who can be safe, and who gets bombed next
Dropping the UN and Embracing Jungle Law?
The UN, which was created to maintain peace and security, has been completely ignored in this situation. It’s like the world’s peacekeeper has been sidelined. What’s left if the UN is powerless? Only chaos.
If even the strongest ignore the rules, what hope do smaller countries have?
The sad truth? The world may now be entering a new era of jungle law where the strongest dominate and the weakest have no voice. International law becomes meaningless when it is selectively applied. Justice turns into politics. The global balance becomes more dangerous.
Iran’s Right to Respond
Whether you agree with Iran’s politics or not, one thing is clear: if their country is attacked, they have the right to defend themselves. That’s not just a political opinion it’s a principle of self-defense under international law.
When someone punches you, you have the right to shield yourself or punch back. That’s basic human and national logic. But here’s the most tragic part: ordinary people suffer the most. Innocent civilians, workers, and families get caught in the middle of these power games. War is not a game but too many leaders treat it like one
" TRUMP is so proud of violenting international law by attacking sovereign country against Iran and turn blind eyes of the United Nations. TRUMP can attack Iran but he obviously put 50,000 US soldiers in the middle east are in danger in within reach of retaliation attack by Iran.
The U.S., without clear justification or a UN mandate, decided to strike it directly. That’s not diplomacy. Trump starts a war with Iran"
My Opinions
If we let this pass without question, we are saying it’s okay for powerful nations to do whatever they want no consequences, no accountability. That’s not peace. That’s not justice.
That’s global bullying.
It’s time to raise our voices. Not just for Iran. Not just against the U.S. But for the principle that no country is above the law. Otherwise, the world will no longer be a community of nations it will be a jungle. And in the jungle, only the strongest survive.
If this article speaks to you, don’t just scroll on. Leave a comment, share it, and speak up.The more we raise our voices, the harder it becomes for the powerful to ignore justice.
Let’s not let jungle law become the new normal.

A Message From Asep Haryono
"Thank you so much for your time here. I really appreciate your precious moment here as well. Please leave any comment down below. Let me hear from you. Greetings from Indonesia"
It seems international law doesn't exist anymore, my friend. It's so sad!
ReplyDeleteThis is the same movie as we saw in 2003 in Iraq. The claim that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction, including chemical weapons, in 2003, was a key justification for the US-led invasion, but it turned out to be false.
In March this year US' intelligence director, Tulsi Gabbard, testified to Congress Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon. Now she says Iran could produce nuclear weapons "within weeks". Her change of position came after Donald Trump said she was "wrong".
I don't understand why Beijing doesn't intervene, given that 90% of Iran's natural resources, especially gas and oil, are exported to China. I hope this unipolar world will be to an end soon.
Thank you for sharing such interesting article, Asap.
