The war in the Middle East is once again in flames, and different forces are weaving a tense scene in Syria. U.S. planes bomb Syria, Russian drones work with the Syrian military to fight the opposition, and Iran is plotting a railway through the Middle East, and everything seems to point to a larger power game. In this complex Middle East chess game, all forces compete for interests, and Syria is once again the focus of contention.
The war in the Middle East is ignited again! The roar of missiles resounded over Syria, suggesting a deep and intricate story. According to the Russian satellite network, peace in Syria has once again been shrouded in the clouds of war, and this time, the game of multiple forces will cause greater waves.
In the September 3 incident, eight U.S. F-35 stealth fighters, four F-16 fighters and four Typhoon fighters passed over Syria, an operation that not only attracted the attention of Russian forces, but also found opportunities for U.S. military to launch air strikes. It is shocking that these US warplanes flew over without the consent of the Russian army, violating the agreement aimed at de-escalating the conflict.
The silence of the early morning was broken, and between 0:52 and 0:55 local time, four F-35 stealth fighters suddenly crossed the Attanf area and invaded Syrian airspace. They passed through the patrol protection zone of the Russian air base in Tartus and launched deadly air strikes at two facilities in the Syrian province of Homs, and the power of the missiles burst into the night sky.
On the ground in Syria, a large-scale fighting broke out in Aleppo province, with the Syrian government forces and the opposition fiercely confronted. Meanwhile, in northeastern Syria, U.S.-backed Kurdish forces are engaged in fierce confrontation with local Arab militias.
Syrian government forces have also launched an offensive on the M4 road in the Raqqa-Hassakeh section in the north, exchanging fire with Turkish-backed forces. The whole of Syria seems to be mired in a huge melee, and the conflict is spreading rapidly.
In the western part of Aleppo province, Russian and Syrian government forces jointly used drones to monitor Syrian opposition forces, and drones successfully destroyed Syrian opposition armored rocket launchers and a tank under air guidance, and also successfully shot down two enemy drones and captured several AK assault rifles.
As for the M4 road in the Hassakeh section, Syrian government forces seized part of the position, killing at least 11 Turkish servants, while the Syrian government army also lost 5 soldiers. And in northeastern Syria, U.S.-backed Kurdish forces defeated anti-American Arab militias and captured the towns of Baserah and Shuhaile.
This series of conflicts has led to thinking about the pattern of the Middle East. This is not accidental, but accompanied by part of a larger plan. Iran, Iraq and Syria are planning a railway system across the Middle East that will connect the Arabian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea and create an important rail corridor. These three countries have extensive experience in international trade and have always been a must for goods and passengers connecting the Far East with the Mediterranean, Europe and Africa.
Iran wants to reduce its reliance on air and sea routes by land, especially those that are dangerous, and Israel is among them. In addition to promoting economic trade, Iran plans to send troops, materiel and weapons to Palestine and Lebanon via the Great Railroad between Iraq and Syria. Iran even plans to extend the railway to Central Asia and Afghanistan and Pakistan, connecting with the railway system from the East, creating a huge railway transportation network centered on Iran.
This will make Iran an important strategic node in the Indian Ocean and even in international trade, connecting China, Russia, Central Asia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon to form a huge transportation hub. however
It is precisely because of this huge strategic value that Iran's plan has become one of the targets of the United States. The first step in the U.S. action was to inflame civil unrest in Syria to prevent the construction of a rail system, especially the part connecting Palestine and Lebanon to a Mediterranean port. Second, the United States is trying to build its own core Middle East Railway system to master the transportation lifeblood of the region.
America's ambitious plans do not stop there. They designed a vast railway network for the Middle East, with Israel and Saudi Arabia as the core, with India as the hub, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as transit points, and Israel as the Mediterranean sea outlet, and then connect the European region and establish a new trade and industrial circle.
This huge plan includes the construction of a railway system, the expansion of the port, the construction of logistics centers, and even the creation of industrial zones. Not only did the United States plan to build a new economic and industrial empire, but it also secretly hatched more covert plans. They plan to create a joint air defense and maritime defense system to counter potential Iranian missile threats and the Russian presence. Once this trading system is fully established, Iran will no longer be able to trade with India and the Gulf states, and Russia's financial routes will be cut off as Russia aspires to establish closer maritime ties with India through Iran.
In summary, this complex series of events and strategies focuses on the core region of the Middle East, especially Syria. The Middle East has long been the focus of competition among great powers, and Syria sits in the heart of the region.
History tells us that Syria has been ruled many times by different empires, from the Assyrian Empire, the Macedonian Empire, the Roman Empire, the Arab Empire, the European Crusaders, the Mamluk dynasty of Egypt, to the Ottoman Empire, and even the French colonial rule. Now, countries such as the United States, Russia, Iran and Turkey are building proxy forces in Syria to fight for control of the land.
The Middle East has always been a place of turmoil, and U.S. involvement has often been a source of turmoil. In the chaos, the American media plays a role in inciting and exacerbating the differences between the people and the government. The CIA then stepped in to support the opposition, providing weapons and military advisers. This series of events plunged Syria into an intractable civil war, and now Syria is once again the battlefield of the game of major powers.
Epilogue:
In the vortex of the Middle East, history, politics and interests are intertwined to form an intricate pattern. The game between the United States, Russia, Iran and others, as well as the fight for Syria, are long-standing traditions in the region. And now, once again, the Middle East is the focus of the world.
From this incident, we can see that the importance of geopolitics in international affairs cannot be overlooked
