Since China's efforts to mediate a great reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran, Iran seems to have opened up the "two veins of Ren Governor" in foreign exchanges. It has not only consolidated friendship with its Arab brothers in the Middle East, but also established good relations with the vast number of anti-hegemonic countries around the world. Recently, Iranians have taken the initiative to diplomacy and go global, which has aroused widespread global attention.
Iranian President Raisi arrives in Havana
According to CCTV News on June 15, Iranian President Raisi arrived in Havana on the evening of June 14, local time, to begin an official visit to Cuba. Iranian President Raisi's trip to the "backyard" of the United States is not only to visit Cuba, but also to Venezuela and Nicaragua on his itinerary. Regarding Iran's behavior of conducting diplomatic activities deep behind enemy lines, the outside world generally commented: Iran's move is to prove to the United States that Iran's influence is not limited to the Middle East, even in the "doorstep and backyard" of Americans, there is no lack of Iranian friends. Especially from the perspective of the countries that the Iranian president chose to visit, they all have a common feature: that is, the above-mentioned countries have long suffered from unreasonable sanctions and strong suppression by the United States. For example, in June last year, the Americans held the Summit of the Americas, and Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua were all turned away.
Iran is actively diplomatic.
Long-term suppression by the United States inevitably makes Iran, Cuba and other countries consciously twist into a rope. With the increasing number of unreasonable sanctions imposed by the United States and the containment and suppression of countries, anti-hegemonic countries have now become an extremely large group. At present, in the process of global development towards multipolarization, Iran and other staunch anti-hegemonist countries and anti-unilateralist countries can be described as like-minded, moving forward hand in hand and a bright future. The position of these three countries can also better facilitate Iran's breaking of Western blockades and US sanctions.
Iranian President Raisi visits Venezuela
From the recent performance of Iranian diplomacy, we can actually see some shadows of déjà vu. Iran's continual change of diplomatic environment and its breaking down in isolation is a series of examples where Iranians have embodied an important point: unite all forces that can be united. For now, whether in the Middle East or elsewhere, the Iranians are doing this. Because judging from the blockade of Iran and other countries by the United States in recent decades, if they cannot "defeat" hegemony and change the status quo of the unipolar world, Iran and other countries are bound to survive in the shadow of hegemony. Therefore, before the collapse of US hegemony, all other contradictions can only be secondary contradictions, and defeating hegemony is the main contradiction to face in order to make the nation and country develop better. Perhaps faced with the same status quo, the anti-hegemonic countries located in the backyard of the United States have shown great enthusiasm for the visit of the Iranian leader.
Previously, the Iranian top level held talks with the Russian top level.
Iran's choice of the US "backyard" as the breakthrough point of its diplomatic strategy can be said to be a good implementation of the technique of "eye-insertion" in Chinese martial arts. Because for now, Iran's expansion of the "circle of friends" to the "backyard" of the United States is equivalent to showing the world that the Americans' control over their own "backyard" has declined, which can not only show the improvement of Iran's own strategic environment, but also show the further decline of the global influence of the United States. Therefore, the visit of high-level Iranian officials to Latin America can be described as vicious.
As a major energy country, Iran has a solid foundation for cooperation with many countries around the world.
In the view of Aerospace Jun, the Iranian president's visit to the three Latin American countries was treated with great courtesy, in addition to them all being bullied by the United States, there is also an important reason that Iran and the above countries have a good foundation for economic cooperation.
Taking Venezuela as an example, Iran and Venezuela are both founding members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, and the two countries can reach many consensus on cooperation in the field of energy. In 2020, Venezuela experienced a shortage of oil and gas, and Iran immediately came to the rescue after learning about it. And because of this incident, the Americans did not stop obstructing it and sent warships to intercept and seize the tankers of the two countries. It is precisely because of the long-standing deep friendship and a good foundation for cooperation that Iranian President Raisi signed as many as 25 bilateral cooperation agreements with Venezuela when he traveled to Venezuela. The content of cooperation between the two countries is no longer limited to the energy field, but extends to different fields such as health, science and technology, mining, and education.
Iran and Cuba signed a cooperation agreement.
Compared with Venezuela, Cuba and Iran also have a deep friendship. As early as the last century, Cuban leader Fidel Castro supported Iran's Islamic revolution. The high-level Iranian visit to Cuba follows a high-level Cuban delegation that visited Iran last month. Such intensive foreign exchanges are enough to show the friendship of bilateral relations and the wide range of cooperation between the two countries.
At a time when Americans often want to play small tricks in other people's backyards, Iranians treat others the way they are. More importantly, Iran's strike diplomacy can be described as hitting the pain point of the Americans. At present, anti-American countries in Latin America are showing a growing trend, and if Americans push too hard, it will only be counterproductive. More importantly, Americans make enemies everywhere, their energy is also very limited, coupled with the decline in the efficiency of sanctions, in many cases Americans are more powerless for many "rebellion" against their own behavior. Therefore, in a commentary published by the "Shangguan News" on June 14, it was written that the Iranian leader's trip to Latin America is actually a warning to the Americans: Tehran is expanding its influence, and Iran can not only show its military presence in the Persian Gulf, but also dance "tango" in front of the United States.

If Iran's activities in Latin America are the "eyes" emphasized in Chinese martial arts, then Iran's active reconciliation with neighboring countries in the Middle East to enhance its influence is undoubtedly "locking the throat" of the Americans. The importance of the Middle East is self-evident, it can be said that the Middle East once had almost the same position in the hearts of the United States as Europe, but now with the increasingly acute contradictions between the United States and Middle Eastern countries, the idea that Middle Eastern countries want to get rid of the United States has become clearer. In the past, there may not have been a "leader", but now, as a staunch anti-hegemonic country, after Iran has achieved reconciliation with Middle East countries, it is very reasonable for Middle Eastern countries to "walk side by side" with Iran, or stand "behind" Iran and continue to distance themselves from the United States.
Regional security in the Middle East should not be decided by the United States.
Half a month ago, Iranian media released an important news that Iran and the Persian Gulf coastal countries will establish a joint navy, the main task of which is to ensure the safety of the Persian Gulf sea oil passage through regular joint cruises. For this news, the Americans can be said to be thunderous. After this incident, Tim Hawkins, spokesman of the US Fifth Fleet, angrily said that Iran is the "culprit" of regional instability, and it is "unreasonable" for neighboring countries to try to form a maritime force with Iran for the purpose of maintaining the security of the Persian Gulf. Although the Americans "curse and curse", this does not in any way affect the countries of the Middle East from it. According to a number of Middle East media, in the formation of a joint navy, the United Arab Emirates first withdrew from the "group" of the "International Maritime Security Union" formed by the United States, and then turned around and joined the joint fleet of the new initiative in the Middle East. Such behavior not only represents the UAE's attitude to the outside world, but also slaps some people in the face.
The United States has a large military presence in the Middle East.
For a long time, the Americans have been constantly stirring up the situation in the Middle East in an attempt to fish in troubled waters, and as more countries see the ugly face of the Americans, the old trick of hegemonism is destined to be difficult to continue. In the future, it is believed that more countries infringed by US hegemony and malicious sanctions and blockades will further usher in national awakening, so as to join the ranks of opposing hegemony. Iran's recent series of diplomatic "fist techniques" can be described as a tiger and tiger, Iran can achieve the above results, on the one hand, its own efforts to study the "art of war" and achieve results; On the other hand, more countries around the world are aware of the harm of hegemonism. We do not deny that the hegemonic forces are still strong, but with the addition of more anti-hegemonic countries, the decline of the unipolar hegemony of the United States will inevitably occur, and the unilateral behavior of relying on the threat of force will also be invalidated!
