Wave after wave, wave after wave. While the Palestinian-Israeli contradictions are intensifying and arousing the worries of all circles of the international community, new changes have also taken place in the Middle East situation, which may further intensify.
On the 27th, the Iranian army confirmed that Mousavi, a senior general of the Syrian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was killed in the Israeli attack on Damascus, the capital of Syria, and he is also the oldest and most experienced adviser to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Syria.
What's more, Mousavi is a comrade to the famous Iranian general Soleimani, who was killed by U.S. troops at an international airport in Iraq on January 3 this year.
Now that Soleimani has been assassinated, Iran has not yet settled the account with the United States, and the Israeli side has already beheaded another high-ranking official, which makes Iran very angry.
Iranian President Raisi issued a stern threat to Israel on the evening of the 24th.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on the 24th to mourn the attack on Mousavi, saying that Mousavi has fought bravely for many years to maintain peace in Iran and its surrounding regions, and now that he has been killed, it will be a "very difficult moment" for Israel.
The meaning of this sentence is that Iran will retaliate against Israel "in return for a tooth" for Mousavi's beheading.
At present, as the contradictions between Palestine and Israel continue to intensify, Iran has condemned Israel several times, and the relationship between the two countries is incompatible, and if the situation continues to develop, Iran is very likely to launch a war against Israel and thus be dragged into the Palestinian-Israeli war. This will undoubtedly make the already tense situation between Palestine and Israel face greater crises and uncertainties again.
Moreover, the Palestinian-Israeli contradictions are still unsettled, and Israel itself is also a mess, and now a sudden attack on Syria and the "beheading" of Iran's top brass is like setting up a new enemy for itself and adding new pressure from any angle, which is obviously illogical.
However, if you think about it, perhaps it is precisely because of the stalemate in the Palestinian-Israeli war that Israel, under the pressure of international and public opinion, came up with the idea of attacking Syria and beheading Iranian officials in order to distract the world.
It should not be forgotten that Israel has sent a message of "no desire for a ceasefire" on recent occasions, but the pressure from the international community and public opinion is rising, and Israel needs to ease the pressure from the outside if it is to maintain its support and maintenance in Gaza. It is clear that it was no accident that Iranian officials were killed by an Israeli air strike at such a critical moment.
Now, Iran and Israel are facing off again, which could exacerbate an already precarious situation.
And that's not all, the United States has also begun their military maneuvers at this juncture.
The Iraqi Ministry of Defense said on the 26th that earlier that day, the US military conducted a drone attack on the Babylon province in the central region of Iraq, targeting the Iraqi armed group "Allah Brigade" and related groups as an attack on Iraqi military strongholds, which reportedly resulted in 19 casualties.
In particular, the United States believes that the "Allah Brigades" have strong ties to Iran and has added them to the list of "extremist groups."
In other words, this counterattack by the US military is likely to be inseparable from Iran.
Since the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian war, nearly 80 terrorist attacks have reportedly been carried out on US military bases in Iraq and Syria, and Iraqi armed groups have come close to claiming responsibility. During this time, the U.S. military also carried out several retaliatory actions against Iran, but either under the pretext of "targeting Iran-related forces", either against Iran, or to put the responsibility for the bombing of the U.S. military base on Iran.
It is clear that the assassination of an Iranian official by Israel and the assassination of Iran were carried out at the same time, and this is absolutely not accidental. Of course, it is also possible that the United States and Israel will exert a new wave of pressure on Iran.
Israel's response to Iran is aimed at diverting the world's attention from the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, while the United States is clearly here to deal with Iran.
First, the United States has frequently antagonized Iran, deepening tensions between the United States and Iran, and on the other hand, the Biden administration can also use this to put pressure on Iran to make more concessions in future negotiations.
Let's not forget that Biden began his presidency with the slogan of bringing the United States back to the JCPOA, but the issue has not yet achieved any results as Biden nears the end of his administration, which is undoubtedly unbearable for the White House, which desperately needs to achieve political success to boost his approval ratings and help Biden in the next election.
Second, the United States may exert pressure on Iran to try to disturb the peace in the Middle East, because this conflict started with Iran and Saudi Arabia, and the United States did not intervene, which makes Biden very angry and has always wanted to interfere with it.
Third, the United States may also want to take the opportunity of striking Iran to "flex its muscles" and enhance its influence and presence in the Middle East, so as to stir up the situation in the Middle East even more and reap the benefits.
All in all, the Palestinian-Israeli dispute has not yet ended, and the situation in the Middle East has changed again, which does not bode well.
