In 1984, although there were no large-scale local conflicts on the Middle East, it once again attracted the attention of the world.

Just in the early morning of May 18, two ordinary earthquakes in the Middle East showed a very unusual side.

The United States first accused that the earthquake in the Bakhtaran area was not an ordinary earthquake at all. It was an earthquake caused by Iraq's secret underground nuclear tests. Iraq crossed the nuclear threshold under a secret situation. This is a very serious anti-human behavior and must be verified by the International Atomic Energy Agency. If it is true, it will be sanctioned by Western countries led by the United States.

But then, Iraq made a remark, claiming that this was just an ordinary earthquake. When the earthquake occurred, the important Iraqi figure, Mr. Kusai, was on the plane back to Iraq. After learning of the earthquake, he rushed to the disaster area as soon as possible to guide the rescue work in the disaster area. The United States pointed fingers on an ordinary earthquake, just taking advantage of the issue. There was also an earthquake in Israel, but the United States never mentioned it, and Israel was also conducting nuclear tests. The United States' sinister intentions were just trying to interfere in Iraq's internal affairs. This is something Iraq and the entire Arab world would never tolerate!

Iraq welcomes the International Atomic Energy Agency's verification at any time, but Iraq has a prerequisite, that is, it is necessary to verify Israel's earthquake areas when verifying this area!

After Iraq made these remarks, the world's press began to turn its attention here. Several AFP reporters even went deep into the disaster area of ​​Bakhtaran in person, watching Iraqi troops helping local rescues and publish various reports.

Since journalists can enter so easily, it further shows that the Bakhtaran area is just an ordinary earthquake, but Israel is very intriguing. No matter which country's reporters are allowed to enter, some military guards are also deployed.

Under such circumstances, international public opinion began to gradually reach a consensus. This time, I am afraid that the United States is really taking advantage of the situation and put pressure on Iraq. Since the establishment of the new Tehran government, although the United States has established diplomatic relations with this new government at the first time, the two sides are still in harmony.

This kind of behavior of the United States is okay to bully weak countries. Now, Iraq will never be at the mercy of the United States. So, in this case, it is normal for Iraq to protest.

Internationally, except for the UK's harsh accusations that Iraq must unconditionally accept the UN's verification, the other permanent members of the United Nations have a more intriguing attitude.

France did not express any opinions and allowed reporters from newspapers such as AFP to publish various reports, most of which were accusations of the United States of America, hoping to treat the Middle East issue fairly.

The Soviet Union was very dissatisfied with the behavior of the United States. The United States' arbitrarily accusing ordinary earthquakes of other countries of nuclear tests is very excessive and a slander of the Iraqi government. If the United States instructs the International Atomic Energy Agency to verify the Bakhtaran area, then the Soviet Union hopes to verify with Israel. If Israel refuses to accept it, then it proves that they have been secretly developing nuclear weapons. What if Israel has not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty? This further proves that Israel is developing nuclear weapons. It should be condemned by the whole society!

The Eastern Power also issued a statement, hoping that all parties can calmly deal with this issue and resolve this issue peacefully through diplomatic dialogue.

This time the United States is in a difficult situation.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States could manipulate the United Nations and launch arbitrarily attack on disobedient countries. Even if the United Nations disagrees, the United States could send troops to any interference in the internal affairs of other countries. However, now is not the era of the United States dominance and the unipolar world, and the United States is far from being as tough as later generations.

Especially, the US election is now under intense tension and fierceness. Mondale, the Democratic Party, took advantage of this incident and severely criticized the Reagan administration's behavior.

In 1964, Mondale's political teacher Humphrey was elected as the vice president of the United States, and Mondale went to Congress to replace Humphrey as a senator. In 1976, Mondale's political career turned around again. Democratic presidential candidate Carter chose Mondale as his running mate and won the White House together. As a result, in the presidential election that year, Carter and Mondale successfully ran together, becoming the president and vice president of the United States respectively, with term of office from early 1977 to early 1981. However, in the 1980 presidential election, the Republicans' resentment, Carter and Mondale failed and Reagan became president.

The Democrats are unwilling to give up. Now, on behalf of the Democrats, Mondale has once again engaged in fierce presidential competition with Reagan.

Mondell keenly felt that this incident was a very wrong move by the Reagan administration. Without careful consideration, he used nuclear tests as an excuse to attack the current Iraqi government and bring them into the American camp. Unfortunately, they did not know that doing so would only make Iraq disgusted and the American people. In the hearts of the American people, Iran is the embodiment of evil, while Iraq successfully overthrew the old regime of Iran and restored Iran to light. This dirty political game is probably seen by countless Americans. The American people will be more disgusted with the Reagan administration's means, and then they will support themselves more.

However, Mondale didn't know that he would have done one step less. The Reagan administration would be strongly supported by the Jewish forces in the United States. The Reagan administration's method of suppressing Iraq was very welcomed by the Jewish forces. Eighty percent of the American press were controlled by Jews. At their instruction, they began to publicize the various possibilities of Iraq's nuclear tests and the impact on the current international situation. Therefore, it is very normal to conduct a verification, and they will never mention the earthquake in Israel.

However, some newspapers, such as a newspaper controlled by Arab Americans, have forwarded various reports from AFP and exposed the current government's practice.

In the US presidential campaign, it is very important to gain support from American Jews. There are only 6 million American Jews, but they are the ethnic group with the highest turnout among American ethnic minorities, with a turnout of up to 90%, while the average turnout of Americans is only about 50%.

The Jewish population lives relatively concentrated in New York, New Jersey, District of Columbia, Massachusetts, and other major cities such as New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Boston. The relatively concentrated residence is high, the state-centered American election system, and the two major political parties, Democratic and Republican parties, often have a close match in the presidential election, which determines that the high turnout of the small number of Jews can often play a key role.

Therefore, at this moment, it was very important to win the support of Jewish voters. In the 80-year election, Jewish support played a great role. Moreover, as the funds for the election, Jewish forces also provided a lot. In the United States, Jewish forces are a very important group. Jewish people belong to the richest class in the United States, and 2% of the population accounts for 5% of the entire American national income. About 20% of millionaires in the United States are Jews, so it has been circulating that "Jews control Wall Street" and "Americans' money is in the pockets of Jews."

Seeing that Mondale made this choice, Reagan knew that Mondale's election would probably be doomed to fail, but how to deal with the influx of public opinion is also an important problem they face. If this problem cannot be solved, ordinary Americans may express dissatisfaction with them. After all, the image of the Iraqi government is still very good in the minds of ordinary people except Jews.

"Now, the most important thing for us is to determine whether Iraq has really conducted underground nuclear tests." At the emergency meeting held by the United States again, Vice President Bush said: "Our original purpose was to use the Iraq earthquake that may be caused by underground nuclear tests to isolate Iraq's international status and prevent a strong country in the Middle East. The Middle East is related to our tangible interests. We must not be bystanding the strength of Iraq, which will pose a threat to our interests. But now, the development of the situation is very unfavorable to us. The United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency is hesitant and does not know whether to conduct a verification of Iraq. Therefore, we need to determine what caused this earthquake in the Bakhtaran region."

"If it is really an underground nuclear test, it is to prevent it from being discovered by the outside world. Unlike the experiments in the atmosphere, a large amount of radioactive material is released. Therefore, it is difficult to find that they have conducted nuclear tests except for climbing there and checking the underground situation." Casey said.

"There's really no way?" President Reagan asked.

"Yes," said the Minister of Defense: "We can use reconnaissance aircraft to detect the situation there and use synthetic aperture radar to check whether the terrain there is exactly the same as the original satellite map, so that we can indicate a precise place for those in the International Atomic Energy Agency. Also, if it is the first nuclear test in Iraq, their underground nuclear test will not be particularly perfect. There must be radioactive material released. We can carry high-precision radioactive instruments on the aircraft to check whether there are radioactive residues there."

"Our reconnaissance plane?" Bush asked: "Our Goddess of Dawn, so far, hasn't the research and development been completed?"

"No need for the goddess of dawn, our black birds are enough to carry out this kind of reconnaissance mission," said Weinberg.
