Abstract :
On the morning of January 3, 2020, the US government assassinated Sardar Soleimani, commander of Iran's Quds Force, and his entourage, as well as a high-ranking Iraqi military official. This terrorist act, which took place on Iraqi soil, violates many international rules, However, it is important to note that according to the legal structure of Iran, which is based on the jurisprudence, referring to jurisprudential sources, especially the Holy Quran, to establish a system of response is extremely important. By referring to jurisprudential sources, at first aspect, the two rules of Retaliation and self-defense in this field can be examined.This article, through analytical and descriptive methods, first examines the possibility of relying on these two jurisprudential rules and then examines the principles of the accepted rule from the perspective of the Qur'an. With this statement, the main question of this research is that considering the challenges in international law regarding the fundamental violation of international rules by the United States on the subject of the martyrdom of Sardar Soleimani, to what extent can the capacity of Quranic principles be used in the field of response?The results of this article show that according to the US approach in the international arena and its presence in the Security Council, the possibility of judicial review is limited and therefore the subtlety of the rule of restraint is suggested.
