Recently, Iran launched a military operation, which triggered the participation of six countries, and the Armenian command ordered soldiers to resist stubbornly. Iranian special forces have arrived on the Idlib front to work with Syrian government forces to fight rebels supporting Turkey. At the same time, Iran also launched artillery strikes and missile attacks against Azerbaijan. The situation has compounded tensions in the Asian-Asian region, where skirmishes have now expanded, raising international concerns.
Iran has always been committed to resolving the Asian-Afghan conflict through peaceful means and, like Russia, seeks to maintain peace and stability in the region. However, Iran was disappointed by the development of the real situation, and the conflict did not abate, but spread to Iran itself. Now, six countries, including the United States, France, Turkey, Russia and Israel, among others, are involved. This has significantly increased the risk of escalation of the Asian-Afghan conflict.
The United States is both active in arms sales and actively involved in peacemaking. Israel has been providing support behind its back, primarily with Azerbaijan, to highlight its regional power status and defend its strategic interests. France's involvement was aimed at curbing Turkish expansion while maintaining its influence in the region. Russia's involvement is also motivated by desperation, with the goal of maintaining peace and avoiding large-scale conflicts in the region. Although the motives for participating in the country differed, the participation of the six countries in the war was undoubtedly detrimental to the peaceful settlement of the Asian-Afghan conflict.
Although Armenia mobilized the entire reserve, the reserve forces such as the elderly and women did not show corresponding combat effectiveness. According to a report by RIA News on October 23, under the offensive of Azerbaijan, some reserve soldiers of Armenia abandoned machine guns, bazookas and other weapons and equipment and fled the battlefield, resulting in a large number of weapons and equipment being seized by Azerbaijan. In order to prevent a similar situation from happening again, the Armenian command issued an order not to retreat and to resist resolutely.
The situation in the Asian-Afghan conflict is becoming increasingly uncertain, and there is widespread concern in the international community that the conflict could spiral out of control, leading to a larger conflict and even a small-scale regional war. The concerns are not unfounded, and countries should do everything in their power to avoid further escalation of this dangerous situation.
