Counter Terrorism Policies and Organizations in Iran

On the glimmery sunny morning of September 11, Al Qaeda terrorists organized unriv altogethered of the nearly destructive attacks the field has ever seen. They hijacked quatern commercial skim overs using them as weapons for annihilation. two planes full of passengers were flown directly into the twin towers of the arena Trade C get in immediately putting to death thousands of pile. The third plane targeted the Pentagon and the hijackers of the fourth plane aimed to hit Washington DC and the passengers fought screening crashing the plane in Pennsylvania.The terrorists cautiously and patiently devised this plan of attack which was neer foreseen by the American government. Instantly, then chairperson George Bush vowed that battleing terrorist puzzle out would be his administrations top priority. This 9/11incident is bingle of the m any attacks that molded the shape of terrorist act only over the population. This smuggled incident led the leaders of the world to ma ke a commitment to fight terrorist act (Gjelten). The state of war on terrorism is a seemingly endless fight.Some quite a little say that this is a policy-making war others say that this is merely a jar of ideologies most specifically Islamic ideologies against the world only when the raison detre behind e real act of terror does not matter because the very act itself produces the same result- terrorism continues to eliminate thousands of innocent lives and strike terror in the hearts of people all passim the world. In order to respond to these attacks, countries from all ends of the world met and created laws in order to observe the admission of terrorists.The worsening crisis in terrorism paved the way to the enactment of the betrothal of Anti-terrorism policies by the justice and Home personal business Council of the European Countries on June 13, 2002. The policy describes the unlike forms of terrorist attack as well as the corresponding penalties keeping in sound j udgment the most sacred and fundamental benevolent rights. The anti-terrorism campaign similarly includes some(prenominal) courses of fulfill for the battle against supranational organized crimes. by dint of the cooperation of EU Countries, the member states adopted a uniform policy on visas thereby lessening illegal immigration.On December 6, 2001, the coupled States and the EUROPOL agreed to share strategic and technical information concerning several policies about the mood of pr evetion and investigation of combating serious international crimes (Reinforcement of EU Policy against terrorism). The get together States keep back several laws against terrorist even before the 9/11 attack. The US Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provided that an alien who had been diligent in terrorist practise or those down the stairs suspicion of being a terrorist cannot enter the united States territory.Terrorist activity has been defined as any violent attack against persons, assassinations including highjack planes and using chemical or atomic weapons and any similar activity. Shortly afterwards the 9/11 attack, the USA nationalist Act provided a wider rendering of terrorist activity which now includes any person who have interpreted advantage of any topographic point whether public or private to patronage aid or abet any terrorist activity or organization (Schoenholtz & Hojaiban).In a joint effort to capture members of the Kurdisan Workers party, turkey and Iraq finalized negotiations regarding counter- terrorism agreement allowing Turkey to fill in hot pursuit of PKK terrorists at its base in northern Iraq (Anti-Terror Group, 2007). Iran is one of the countries that contributed greatly in terrorism. They have a special relationship with the Islamic international jihad due to the fact that they get compensable for building thermonuclear weapons for them. They likewise contend a great role in the war between Israel and Pakistan.They provide provision and weapons for the war soldiers. Yonah Alexander, an expert in counter-terrorism verbalise that in order to start negotiations with Iran, the one-time(prenominal) events and policies of the country in connection with terrorism must first be taken into consideration. In 1980, the United States Embassy in capital of Lebanon was bombed by the Islamic Jihad resulting in the death and injuries of several people. About 20 eight years ago, the United States failed to pitch the hostages taken in the Embassy in Iran.An important(prenominal) point to consider way back then was that it was difficult to plan anti-terrorism measures because the measure did not call for it unlike today. Just recently, Irans nuclear-making operations were suspended because of the inquiries make by several countries who had been alarmed by such activity. The investigation of IAEA led to the discovery of eighteen years of hidden nuclear activities. Even though Iran answered several questions, ump teen remained unconvinced.On October 2003, after the Iraq invasion, Iran joined the International nuclear Energy Agency and signed a protocol stating that they support and promote its precaution procedures (Cochran). In 2007, the Iranian Foreign diplomatic minister Manouchehr Mottaki do a statement aspect that Iran is willing to consider talks with the United States on Iraq even after the United States Ambassador in Baghdad Ryan Crocker make a complaint about the troth of Iran in terrorist activity by extending supports by supplying weapons and training to terrorists.Several attempts towards negotiations have been made by Iran but were rejected by the United States. Indeed, it is seemingly hard to knead anti-terrorist strategy with Iran considering that it gives support to terrorist activity but no matter what the situation is, Iran is also a country that realized how practically they wanted change and hw much they relish a diametrical way of vitality for its people so th ere is a possibility that peace and negotiation talks might happen (Winer, 2007). Policy makers all throughout the world have different ideas and strategies but they all lead to one goal, which is to win the fight against terrorism.It is greatly annihilating to see millions of innocent lives being alienated and it is precisely because of this reason that in this instance of battle, nobody ever wins. The value of charitable life is nothing compared to a political belief or an ideology. The most impressive way of fighting terrorism is to hang-up them before they get a come about to execute their plan. However, no matter how uncorrupted the intentions are in enacting these laws, the extreme policies of several countries should also undergo some changes. The definition of terrorist and suspected terrorist should be reevaluated so as not to prejudice innocent people who are also seeking refuge.Indeed, the counter- terrorism negotiations with Iran has been on a rough bridle-path but through patience and ceaseless communication, many people strongly cogitate that it will soon be achieved. An all classic(predicate) thing to consider in opening move renegotiations is that Iran should declare every detail and forego all its accounts concerning their development of nuclear programs. They should also make a stand that they would repellant all their efforts in supporting terrorism. It is important to keep in mind that the main reason why everybody is uniting against terrorism is to protect the people and not to beat back them directly in harms way.Works Cited Anti-Terror Group. 2007.
