At a time when the fighting in the Gaza Strip is not ending in the past, Israel has brazenly launched air strikes against the Iranian embassy in Syria, which has undoubtedly further aggravated tensions in the Middle East. Interestingly, Israel, as the perpetrator of the attack, may be well aware of the serious consequences of its provocations, so shortly after the end of the air strikes, before the Iranian side has taken any action, Israel's harsh words have been released.
It has been reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently issued a threat at a meeting of the security cabinet, claiming that if Iran dares to attack Israel, it will usher in a "hellish end". At first glance, people who don't know this sentence think that Iran is taking the initiative to provoke Israel, but the actual situation is clear to us, and Israel is now relying on the support of the United States, and it is almost unscrupulously walking sideways in the Middle East. And this kind of psychological activity of "only allowing me to bully you, but not allowing you to resist retaliation" has exposed the typical characteristics of hegemony. However, Iran, known as the "anti-American fighter", is not a good one, and Iran has not been a small number of hegemonic acts in recent years, not to mention that Israel has now ridden to the head to export. Therefore, after being slapped with a stick, Iran decisively decided that it must take revenge on Israel.
According to CCTV reports, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps recently issued a statement saying that they solemnly promised the Iranian people that they would take retaliatory actions at the appropriate time, and they would definitely "cause the greatest harm to the enemy" and make Israel "regret" their actions. Seeing this, some friends may think that Iran is just talking hi, after all, Israel is standing behind the United States, and if it really makes a move, then Iran will face a situation of one and two. But it seems to me, at least, that there are now three signs that a vicious battle is about to begin.
First, the United States and Israel have reacted differently to possible retaliatory actions by Iran. Israel has not only canceled the leave of all its military personnel, but also required them to enter combat positions in order to be ready to respond to the possibility of large-scale combat operations. At the same time, Israel has also temporarily closed 28 Israeli embassies around the world, which cannot be ruled out as Israel's own weakness and fear that Iran will copy its tactics and make a move in retaliation. As for the claim that the United States is not involved in the bombing of the Iranian embassy in Syria and is not aware of Israel's bombing, Iran naturally will not believe it. And the United States is also very familiar and actively entering a state of "high alert" in response to a possible attack by Iran.
Second, in fact, with the exception of Iran, which has not directly intervened, other Middle Eastern powers have already begun to retaliate. Reports show that Iraqi pro-Iranian forces have launched attacks on Israeli air bases in recent days, while Allah Lebanon has also hit Israeli bases with rockets. The Houthis also fired missiles and drones to target U.S. destroyers. It is not difficult to see from this that Iran is not alone, and the hegemonic acts of the United States and Israel will be met with more and more resistance.
Third, it is Russia's statement that can reassure Iran. A few days ago, Putin chose to stand up for Israel's crazy move. He explicitly demanded that Israel immediately stop its "aggressive" actions and agreed with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to strengthen cooperation in the field of counter-terrorism. At the same time, additional posts have been set up in the Golan Heights to continue to strengthen defense cooperation with Syria, Iran and other countries. In this regard, the outside world predicts that the Russian military may intervene in the Middle East situation in the name of counter-terrorism, and at that time, Iran's strength to confront the United States and Israel will increase a lot.
Based on this, it is not difficult to find that it is not Iran that should be worried now, but the United States and Israel. After all, there are still a mess of things that have not been properly handled in Gaza and the Red Sea, and if even the Houthis and Hamas cannot handle it, will the United States and Israel still have enough energy to deal with Iran, which is determined to be firm to the end?
