As the only hegemonic power in the world, the United States is pursuing a positive policy of one-handed radish and one-handed big stick in its relations with foreign countries. Even though the United States is now greatly weakened due to the new crown epidemic, the United States is showing its military "big stick". On, still no mercy.
Recently, the situation in the Middle East has been extremely tense. An Iranian nuclear expert was assassinated by a certain organization in the suburbs of the capital. Although Iran has not yet announced who made the attack, think about Iran’s international environment, the United States, Israel, and Saudi Arabia are the ones who can attack. The shadow of the United States, in the final analysis, is the contradiction between Iran and the United States.
Recently, the US Embassy and US troops stationed in Iraq have been attacked by pro-Iranian forces. Some people believe that although Iran has not made a big announcement about how it will retaliate, it may be that these anti-US armed forces are used to make the US military exhausted in the attacks, and finally use a "hands-off".
As the sole hegemony in the world, how can the United States tolerate such constant harassment of its presence in the Middle East?
Regardless of other aspects of the United States, in terms of military strength, the United States has absolute strength. In order to quell the continuous attacks by armed groups on the United States in the Middle East, the US Navy directly exposed its "nuclear fangs"!
U.S. military missile nuclear submarine debuted on the water
It is reported that on December 21, a strategic nuclear submarine of the United States entered the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz. Generally speaking, the movements of such nuclear submarines are generally national "top secret". Allies will not disclose it lightly. Moreover, the Persian Gulf has a single channel and shallow water depth, and nuclear submarines are generally not deployed in the area.
In this voyage, the strategic nuclear submarine of the United States directly used the method of surface navigation. It passed through the Strait of Hormuz directly in front of Iran under the escort of two Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruisers! It can be seen that this action of the US Navy shows that it is here to intimidate you Iran!
On the other hand, Iran’s response is also tit-for-tat. The US Navy stated that before the formation entered the Strait of Hormuz, the radar had already sensed tracking signals from Iranian missiles. The two sides seem to have kept a safe distance from each other, but in fact they are already tense.
Some people say that in this operation, the Americans have achieved the effect of force deterrence. Despite the loud anti-US slogans, Iran has not dared to launch missiles directly? So if you look at it from another angle, isn’t Iran’s performance also making the United States afraid to "do whatever it takes"? The U.S. Navy has always been domineering over the ocean. Now, under the full tracking of Iran's anti-ship missile radar, it dare not "hands". There is no doubt that the U.S. has fully felt Iran's unyielding attitude!
In this confrontation, the United States has actually fallen behind!
As we all know, when are nuclear weapons most threatening? That is when there is no launch. This time the U.S. Navy has swaggered, its deterrence capability is actually far worse than the one-by-one press conference announcing that a search of American strategic nuclear submarines have reached deployment near the Persian Gulf. This is even more combative. Moreover, does the United States really dare to become the first country to carry out a foreign nuclear strike after World War II? The answer is obviously no!
