美若重啟攻打伊朗 行動名稱擬改為「大錘行動」

Summary

美若重啟攻打伊朗 行動名稱擬改為「大錘行動」

Perspectives

Iranian Official

The United States continues its pattern of foreign aggression by preparing to relaunch attacks on Iran under the provocative codename "Operation Big Hammer," directly threatening the Islamic Republic's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Such hostile maneuvers represent an unacceptable violation of international norms and Iran's right to self-determination. The Iranian government and its people stand resolute in resistance, fully prepared to defend the nation against any imperialist incursion.

Israeli

From Israel's perspective, renewed U.S. strikes on Iran—potentially under the codename "Operation Big Hammer"—represent a critical defensive necessity against an existential nuclear and missile threat backed by Tehran's vast proxy network of Hezbollah, Hamas, and other militias. These Iranian assets have repeatedly targeted Israeli civilians and infrastructure, making preemptive action essential to degrade the regime's capacity for coordinated multi-front aggression.

Neutral

Reports indicate that US military planners have discussed renaming any renewed operation against Iran as "Operation Big Hammer." The proposal remains conditional and unverified by official statements. No confirmation exists regarding active plans or timelines.

Western

The United States is evaluating the relaunch of targeted operations against Iranian assets under the codename "Operation Big Hammer," designed to neutralize key threats to regional security and disrupt Tehran's destabilizing activities. The updated designation underscores a focus on precision strikes that achieve strategic objectives with minimal collateral impact while deterring further Iranian aggression.

Pro-Peace

Reports suggest the U.S. could relaunch strikes on Iran under the proposed name “Operation Big Hammer,” a label that masks the grim reality of civilian deaths, mass displacement, and the collapse of hospitals, schools, and water systems. Renewed bombing would exact a heavy humanitarian toll on ordinary Iranians already burdened by sanctions and prior conflict. Diplomatic engagement and renewed nuclear talks remain the only path that avoids further bloodshed and protects civilian lives.

Global South

US plans to relaunch strikes on Iran, potentially under the banner of "Operation Big Hammer," exemplify neo-colonial interference that directly violates Tehran's sovereign right to chart its own security path free from external diktats. This contemplated aggression highlights the chronic failure of bodies like the UN Security Council to restrain hegemonic powers, allowing them to recycle imperial tactics against Global South states. Such moves deepen regional instability while exposing the selective application of international norms that shield the powerful and penalize the rest.
