Here it is, 300 missiles from the Iranian direction have finally arrived.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Austin shook the feather fan in his hand and laughed, waving in the direction of Iran.
The United States set up a bureau to borrow missiles from Iran, which is comparable to a modern version of a straw boat borrowing arrows.
Zhuge Liang's grass boat borrowed arrows, allowing him to complete the impossible task of 100,000 arrows through stratagem when the materials and construction period were seriously insufficient.
The modern version of the U.S. straw boat borrowed arrows to achieve a great shift in the world through Iran's missiles, forcibly turning the red-eyed Israel from Hamas to Tehran, and successfully realizing the transition from the dead circle of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to the evenly matched and controllable Iran-Israel confrontation, thus allowing the United States to break out of its shell, solve the deadlock, and get out of the Middle East.
Although deep consideration is never a presumption of beauty, this series of US serial layouts and schemes is breathtaking, and it is very worthy of our serious analysis, study, and reference.
1. Origin
The starting point of this series of US schemes was Israel's attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria.
Through its global intelligence network, the United States has obtained intelligence that senior Iranian military officers are plotting in Syria.
It was a decoy that the United States had found. It wants to lure Israel to the bait.
Iran and Israel are old enemies. The reason why Israel is now drawn into the Palestinian-Israeli conflict should be inseparable from Iran, which supports Hamas.
The United States has falsely claimed to be an Iranian military officer and is helping to plan an attack on Israel in Syria. When Israel heard this, its anger instantly swept its head.
With the intelligence and acquiescence provided by the United States, it directly attacked Iran, attacked the Iranian embassy, and killed senior Iranian military officers.
Not only Iran was outraged, but the whole world was stunned by Israel's barbarism.
That's when Israel came to its senses and knew that it had made trouble. The United States is not really helping Israel. Rather, it is pushing itself into the fire pit of Iran's wrath.
Sure enough. Iran immediately vowed to retaliate.
Israel hastened to withdraw several divisions from southern Gaza in fear of retaliatory strikes from Iran.
At the same time, Israel must mobilize its entire nation and prepare itself fully for Iranian retaliation.
As Iran has said, the scope of its retaliation includes both Israel proper-owned and all Israeli interests.
At this point, the United States has initially succeeded, and it has shifted Israel's focus away from Hamas and Gaza to Iran.
2. Retaliation
Because Iran is not easy to mess with, it will do what it says.
Just yesterday, Iran made good on its promise and launched a retaliatory operation against Israel. Iran reminded all parties of its intention to strike in advance by way of advance notice.
In total, it launched about 300 missiles and drones.
After the fight, Iran claimed to have successfully struck military targets in Israel and achieved its stated mission.
Israel, for its part, said the military had intercepted most of Iran's incoming missiles and drones.
The United States also claims to have helped Israel intercept dozens of missiles and drones.
The consequences are not serious.
According to the Israeli side, a total of 12 people were taken to the hospital, and a 7-year-old girl was seriously injured by missile fragments and was taken to the operating room, where she is currently in intensive care. Eight others were treated for minor injuries caused by shrenching or running to shelters, and three were hospitalized for anxiety.
Overall safety and controllability. This result is acceptable to the Iranian side, and so is it for Israel.
Of course, the United States is more able to accept such a situation, and this is something that the United States is very happy to see.
Through repeated attacks and retaliation by Israel and Iran, the United States has achieved a complete turn in the situation in the Middle East and transformed the Palestinian-Israeli conflict into an Israeli-Iranian conflict.
For the United States, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is very uncontrollable, and it has become the most serious negative equity in the United States, which is more terrible than the high and uncharted US debt. Because Israel's atrocities in the Middle East and the humanitarian catastrophe it has caused, the United States has lost its credibility in the international community and moral support, making it difficult for the United States to move an inch.
What scares the United States the most is that it will not be able to pull back the red-eyed Israel on its own. It's like it's hard for biological parents to discipline their children, because children already know their parents' hearts. However, it is usually more effective if a third party is used for discipline.
That's when the United States thought of Iran.
Iran is a perfect choice. Iran is strong enough to hold Israel down. But Iran does not dare to really fight Israel, because Iran is afraid of the United States behind Israel.
In this way, the United States only needs to control Iran and keep Iran from expanding and escalating the situation, then it can do Israel's work on the other side.
If Israel continues to go its own way in Gaza, the United States can warn Israel that it will not help Israel defend itself against military threats from Iran.
In this way, the United States has not lost its image as the protector of Israel, and at the same time has perfectly controlled Israel through Iran.
3. Calculation
In the wake of Iran's retaliation, the US Secretary of Defense, a former senior Army general, made it clear after condemning Iran: "We do not seek conflict with Iran." ”
For his part, President Biden said he would convene a meeting of G7 leaders on Sunday to develop what he called a "unified diplomatic response to Iran's brazen attacks."
Attention, it was a diplomatic response, there was no military action.
Why?
Because this is fundamentally designed by the United States, to let Iran suppress Israel and turn the Palestinian-Israeli conflict into an Iran-Israel conflict.
For Iran, it is also a last resort. Completely a pawn borrowed by the United States. My embassy was bombed, and I can't do it if I don't take action.
But this operation gave Iran an opportunity to demonstrate its military strength and operational capabilities, and to establish its image as a regional power, and at the same time, it can be said that it has the tacit approval of the United States, and it will not invite direct US involvement.
Iran's foreign ministry said in a statement that the attack on Israel was a "defensive measure" that demonstrated its "responsible attitude towards regional and international peace and security."
It shows that Iran has no choice but to do this, and at the same time it is very much in line with the expectations of the United States, to control Israel but not to escalate the situation.
We have seen that after Iran's retaliation, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz both condemned Iran.
These outside voices have made the conflict between Israel and Iran more formal. Everyone is coaxing, you two should get married.
Compared to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, it is difficult for Israel to find Hamas for direct strikes, causing a large number of civilian casualties throughout the military operation.
And the conflict between Israel and Iran will become very completely controllable.
Israel does not dare to rashly attack Iran, and Iran does not dare to expand and escalate the situation casually.
All of this makes this conflict very safe and controllable.
And the United States, through such a golden cicada, has successfully freed itself from the unsolvable dead end in the Middle East.
It's not unintelligent.
However, it will not do us much good for us that the United States is out of the encirclement.
Of course, we want peace in the Middle East, even if the United States does get out of it.
To deal with the United States, we must rely on ourselves.
Moreover, we are fully convinced that as long as the United States continues to pursue the path of hegemony, it will inevitably fall into other pits in the world. This is dictated by its hegemonic ambitions. No matter how many pits the United States climbs out, there is always the next pit waiting for it.
