As the Russian-Ukrainian conflict intensified, the assassination of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Colonel Saeed Kodaiyi was quite complex, and it was not just a continuation of the liquidation operation of Iran's Quds Force, but also a warning against the change of power in the Middle East.
There is no doubt that Iran's Quds Force is a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the United States and Israel, and has long been included in its list of "terrorist organizations". However, the assassination of Saeed Kodai is very strange in terms of identity and time.
First of all, in terms of the identity of Said Kodai, he is the senior commander of the Iranian Quds Force, which the Iranian side calls "the defender of the temple", that is to say, Kodai is an important figure in charge of overseas combat operations in Iran's elite Quds Force, and has long been involved in leading operational command operations in Syria.
Secondly, judging from the timing of the assassination attack, it happened precisely at the juncture of the intensification of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Previously, many sources confirmed that Russia urgently transferred at least 5,000 Russian soldiers from Syria to fight in Ukraine, which formed a partial battlefield vacuum in the Syrian-controlled areas of the Russian army, and Iran is undoubtedly the best candidate to replace Russia's role.
Judging from the frequent contacts between Russia and Iran some time ago, although there is an intricate relationship between the two in Syria, it is clear that the two sides have reached some kind of agreement or tacit understanding in response to the threat of the United States and Israel, otherwise the Russian military will never easily get out of Syria.
At present, although no organization or individual claims responsibility for the assassination, and the Iranian guard has provided few details about the attack, it is not difficult to see from Iran's expression of blaming the killing on "global arrogance", it is not difficult to see that such wording may mean that there is a great relationship with the United States and Israel. Around the same time, Iranian state media released information that security forces in the Revolutionary Guards had discovered and arrested a member of an Israeli intelligence network operating in the country.
According to the urine nature of the United States, this assassination incident is most likely directed at Russia, through the assassination of the commander of the Quds Force with rich experience in Syrian operations, deterrence and warning Iran not to send troops to fill the battlefield vacuum formed in Syria after the withdrawal of Russian troops, in order to alleviate the military pressure faced by Israel in the Middle East, causing the Extreme uneasiness of the Assad regime in Syria. However, the consequences of this are likely to be counterproductive, and even more provoke Iranian retaliation, and Russia and Syria will undoubtedly go further down the anti-American road.
