“America is ready to embrace the peace we all seek.”In a public televised speech watched closely by the whole world, Trump said thisExpressed the latest US position on the conflict with Iran in a "high profile".
   This is obviously beyond the expectations of many people: is everything going to end?
   But just today (January 9) In the morning, w88 login Foreign Minister Zarif posted @Trump on Facebook for the third time.

"Mr. Trump is wrong. It is not beautiful weapons that rule the world, but people. Now, the people of this land want the United States to withdraw." Zarif wrote.

Today evening,At 18:41, the w88 login Embassy in China posted a Weibo post, thanking Chinese netizens for their messages and inviting “Chinese friends to come to Iran to celebrate the New Year with confidence, safety is not an issue.”

I hope your country will develop better." There are reminders to the United States, and there are also thanks to Chinese netizens who want to travel to Iran. Behind the online interaction, we are reminded that there seems to be another "battle" taking place on social media these days.
Competition on Weibo: Iraq is more gunpowder
   “The end of the evil power of the United States in West Asia has begun. ”
   In the early morning of January 8, this update from the official account of the w88 login Embassy in China went viral on Weibo.

   Although it is only a short sentence, the tough tone and clear attitude all show the firm stance of Iran and the fierce battle of public opinions between the two sides behind this conflict.
   In fact,The w88 login Embassy in China and the U.S. Embassy in China are fighting over the air on Weibo, starting fromIt started shortly after the United States dropped three rockets at Baghdad International Airport on January 3.
   The total number released by the w88 login Embassy in China since thenIn the 16 related Weibo posts, emotionally charged words such as "danger and stupidity", "gangster adventurism", "revenge" and "revenge" have become keywords.
   In contrast, although the US Embassy in China responded slowly, it did not give up fighting back.
   EspeciallyOn January 4, he posted three Weibo posts within an hour to defend the attack on the 3rd and emphasized: "The United States is still committed to reducing the escalation of the situation."

   Obviously,To say or not to say, and how to say it, have become part of the public opinion struggle between the United States and Iran in the past few days.
   As the situation on the front gradually intensifies, the two sides continue to speak out on their respective Weibo pages and become more and more intense,Although not@each other, but the meaning of quarrel in the air has obviously overflowed the screen.
   For example,On January 5, the official Weibo of the w88 login Embassy in China posted three Weibo posts refuting Pompeo’s remarks.
   The U.S. Embassy in China listed the crimes of the assassinated Soleimani the next day"Rebuttal".
Overseas social media showdown: Senior executives from both sides join forces
   If speaking out on Weibo is still on the periphery of the competition between the two sides for public opinion influence, then on overseas social media, the competition between Trump and w88 login senior officials is definitely sparking.
   SinceStarting from January 3rd,w88 login Foreign Minister Zarif issued one after another13 Facebook posts, in addition to repeatedly vowing to retaliate against the United States, they also directly shouted @US President Trump three times.
   The first slogan originated from Trump"Provocation" - On the 4th, he threatened on Facebook that he would strike again at 52 locations in Iran, some of which are "very important to Iran and w88 login culture."
In the early morning of the 5th, Zarif @Trump for the first time.
   In this post listing three major crimes, he referred to previous attacks by the United States as"Cowardly Assassination", arguing that Trump has seriously violated international law and that the US attack on w88 login cultural sites is a war crime.
   Trump obviously does not agree with Zarif. At noon that day, he responded to what Zarif saidThe term "war crime".
   "They can kill my people, they can torture and maim my people, they can kill my people with roadside bombs, but we can't touch their cultural sites? That doesn't work." SpecialTrump said.
   In the early morning of the 6th, Zarif once again issued a series of questions to Trump:
"Trump, have you ever seen a sea of people like this in your life? You still want to listen to the clowns    Any suggestions for our area? Do you still have the illusion that you can destroy this great country and the will of its people? The end of the evil power of the United States in West Asia has begun.”
   At the same time as this Facebook post was posted, there was also a set of photos of a huge crowd at the memorial ceremony for General Soleimani that day.
   Three hours later, Trump reiterated his position: Iran can never have nuclear weapons!
   In fact,Foreign Minister Zarif is not the only one in Iran who has directly attacked Trump in the past two days.
   For Trumpw88 login President Rouhani responded to the threat of "strike 52 w88 login targets" with the number "290" on social media on the 7th, warning the United States to "never threaten Iran."
   "Those who mention the number 52 should also remember the 290 people who died on Flight 655. Never threaten Iran." He said.
   Mentioned by RouhaniFlight IR655 was shot down by the US military in the airspace surrounding Iran in July 1988. All 290 passengers and crew members on board were killed. The U.S. government claimed it was a mistake, but Iran believed it was shot down deliberately. Afterwards, Iran Air still used this flight number on this route to remember the crash.
“There will be fewer and fewer close encounters, and non-traditional means will become more and more important”
   It can be seen that this kind of high-level speech to the other side not only declares their position, but to some extent, it is more like a kind of encouragement for one's own side.
   And obviously,Whether it is on Chinese Weibo or overseas social media, the United States and Iran are also trying to gain support from online public opinion through intensive information transmission.
   Professor Ding Long, Director of the Gulf Research Center of the w88 casinoUse public opinion to fight"Second battlefield" is used to describe the "firefight" between the United States and Iran on social media.
   In his view, this way of fighting public opinion wars with each other through social media has both universality and particularity.
   “As a convenient and direct way of instant communication, it has become common for politicians to use social accounts to communicate.But what is special about this conflict between the United States and Iran is that the two sides lack normal communication channels. In this case, social media has become the best platform to test the other side's position, convey information, and even engage in psychological warfare and public opinion warfare." Ding Long said.
   Ding Long pointed out that to intimidate the other party, occupy the moral high ground and influence public opinion"Setting the pace" is obviously the main purpose of this public opinion war between the two sides.
   The actual response of the Internet seems to confirm the effectiveness of this method. Ding Long even predicted,As the fastest and most convenient way of communication today, social media public opinion battles outside the main battlefield will become increasingly important and cannot be ignored in the future."Not all conflicts in the future will eventually turn into hot wars. For example, this time the two sides have been talking for so many days, but the U.S. and w88 login troops have not met at all, and real military conflicts have not occurred. There will be more and more such situations in the future, there will be fewer and fewer hand-to-hand encounters, and the role of non-traditional means will become greater and greater." Dan Ding Long also emphasized,No matter how fierce the public opinion war is, it is also a auxiliary means. The key is to be backed by the strength of the main battlefield.
