We have always thought that the War won by the United States in this Russian-Ukrainian conflict, but as time went on, we suddenly found that this war is likely to ring the death knell of American hegemony. The world's oil and gas production capacity is so much, if the sanctions on Russia's oil and gas supply, it is necessary to make up for the original kick-out, the United States life-saving straw is Venezuela and Iran.
Thanks to sanctions on Russia, the price of oil and gas in the EU has now risen sharply. Europe is a vote politics, and only when the populace truly feels the reaction of sanctions will they agree to negotiate with Russia. And this is exactly what the Franco-German families dreamed of. Through this Russian-Ukrainian conflict, cooperation with Russia's oil and gas resources was increased, and even the Nord Stream II was opened. Once it got rid of the United States in terms of energy, Europe went further on its independence. At this time, Iran's dozen missiles were launched at the right time.
Iran's dozen missiles shattered U.S. hegemony
First, Iranian engineers become generals
As recently as March 13, the Iraqi consulate in Erbil was hit by more than a dozen missiles. At first, the United States still hid itself, only saying that it had been attacked by terror, and did not say who hit it. The idea of the United States at this time is very simple, because even Iran does not dare to fight well. Just as the United States was about to break its teeth and swallow it in the stomach, Iran itself admitted itself.
The IrGC said it was responsible for the incident. It's like Biden saying, "It must have been blown up by mistake, I don't know who did it." As a result, Iran immediately said, "That's what I did!" Although Iran also knows that bombing is also bombing, the United States does not dare to do anything with them at this time."
But there is still a certain amount of courage to give this order. After all, the military strength of the United States is there, and if the United States really moves, even if the United States may not be able to win, the Iranian regime must lose. The person who was able to strike at the U.S. consulate with such determination was Hussein Salami, the leader of Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
Hussein Salami
The leader of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, Salami, was born in Golepai Yegan, Isfahan Province, and he came from a bazaar merchant class and belonged to the middle class in Iran. Although Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is an international household name, the group is very mysterious inside. Iran's political structure is under the presidential responsibility system, and the supreme leader is a lifelong system, which holds the highest power in Iran. This role is held by a cleric who guarantees that the Iranian regime will not change color.
The president in charge of Iran's economy and foreign affairs is the equivalent of the prime minister of other countries, responsible for all the administrative affairs of a country. These two people are generally the focus of Iran, so in the past, people only knew Supreme Leader Khamenei and President Lasi, and did not know much about the leaders of other departments, including the leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Salami.
Salami really explains what it means to say that "a carpenter who does not want to be a general is not a good tailor". Salami studied at the Iranian University of Science and Technology in 1978. Salami had nothing to do with the military, and he studied mechanical engineering at the Iranian University of Science and Technology. At this time, it was the white industrial period of the Iranian Pahlavi dynasty, and the whole country of Iran was engaged in industrialization.
But this is the world, everything has to be gradual, and there will be problems if the steps are too large. Because of Iran's eagerness to succeed, a large number of peasants were driven to the cities and turned into workers. But after these peasants lost their land, they did not become workers, but became unemployed vagrants. Because Iran's industrial level is not high, it can not provide so many jobs at all.
On the one hand, the large number of agricultural land has touched the interests of the rural clergy class, and on the other hand, a large number of unemployed vagrants have also intensified social contradictions. When the Islamic Revolution broke out in Iran in 1979, Khomeini, who was still pretending to be a western squire, suddenly became an anti-American fighter.
Second, salami, a hawkish figure who dares to strike the United States with missiles
While the Islamic Revolution was in full swing, Salami threw himself into the pen and became a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was originally intended to defend Khomeini's guard, but gradually evolved into a special military force. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is a force of faith whose only goal is to defend the Supreme Leader.
This force played a very crucial role during the Iran-Iraq War. Using their flesh and blood, they have constantly harassed iraq's fronts. It was in this brutal war that Salami grew up. After the end of the Iran-Iraq War, Salami became a figure on a par with Soleimani. After experiencing the experience of the Iran-Iraq War, Salami went to the Iranian Defense Academy to study, and after theoretical study, he became an important General of Iran.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is a very mysterious military force. Salami officially became the leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in 2019, and Salami holds the rank of major general in the Iranian army. For Salami, even the United States does not know the origin of this person. But americans know that this man is definitely a hawk and is not at all soft on "humiliating" the United States. Salami often attacks the evils of the United States in front of the media, which naturally includes criticism of the "Middle East churning stick" Israel. And the mouth cannon is not enough, and Salami has put this action into practice.
We all know that Soleimani once captured a ship of American soldiers, made them kneel, and uploaded these pictures to the Internet. When Salami came to power, the first thing he did was to shoot down an American drone. In fact, these years have really "thanked" the US military for its help. Iran's rapid progress in drone technology is really a credit to the United States. Iran captured various American drones, and then reversed the development of Iranian domestic technology, which Salami has a lot of credit for.
And this time Salami was also not soft. Israel blew up two Revolutionary Guard colonels in Syria, and Salami directly warned the United States with more than a dozen missiles to be honest. A Russian-Ukrainian conflict has played out the essence of the United States' internal strength, if the United States is really strong enough, it will not watch Saudi Arabia, Qatar, bahrain successively rebel against the water but can not do anything.
