Abstract
“The Legal Implications of the United States' Strike on General Soleimani, His Associates and Iran's Response” is a detailed exploration of the assassination of General Soleimani from the point of view of international law. With a focus on elucidating the act of terrorism of the United States, this book examines the subject from various dimensions of international law, particularly international treaty law, international criminal law, the use of force in international law, humanitarian law, and the fight against terrorism. The book's emphasis on international treaties and the reflection of Eastern thought regarding the assassination of an anti-terrorism hero from the perspective of international law can be considered the strengths of this book. Furthermore, establishing legal convergence in the Middle East regarding the assassination of General Soleimani and countering America's Lawfare against Iran's Authorities can also be deemed the primary approach of the book. On the other hand, the failure to reflect certain recent developments, such as changes in foreign policy after the Trump Administration, Iran's claim to bring the case before the International Court of Justice, and the conclusion of legal proceedings regarding the case of General Soleimani's assassination in Iran and Iraq can be considered shortcomings of this book.
