has not yet settled, and it has risen again!
No one expected that as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continued, the Russian "North Stream" natural gas was destroyed, and the situation took a sharp turn, which caused strong concerns from the outside world, Middle East , thousands of miles away, is stolen in a new round of changes - Iran fights the United States.
29, the Iranian military confirmed that it had launched a large-scale attack on the Kurdian area in the north of Iraq, on the grounds that it had attacked anti-Iranian "extreme organization" . During this period, a total of 173 cruise missiles and dozens of drones were launched. accurately hit 42 important facilities of the target, causing at least 5 deaths and more than 50 injuries.
Moreover, although Iran's air strike was launched from the Shahada military base in the northern border area, some of the 42 facilities attacked were more than 400 kilometers away from the Iranian border. shows the scale and intensity of this Iranian air strike.
The Iranian military also stated that the anti-terrorism operation greatly destroyed the positions of anti-Iranian "extreme organizations" and called on the Kurdish regional authorities to withdraw these organizations, otherwise the anti-terrorism operation will continue until the complete elimination of these organizations.
It should be noted that is not the first time Iran has recently launched an air strike against Iraq.
As early as September 24, Iran shelled the Kurdish region and then issued an announcement stating that the "extreme organizations" stationed here have frequently entered Iran in the past few years and attacked Iran's border outposts. The Iranian army will never allow such a situation.
htmlOn 26, Iran bombarded the Kurdish region and dispatched drones.
That is to say, Iran has 3 air strikes in Kurdish areas within 5 days, and the intensity of air strikes is still increasing significantly - The first was a shelling; the second was a shelling and drone air strike; the third was a 73 cruise missiles and drone group.
can be seen that Iran is indeed serious this time and intends to hit the anti-Iranian "extreme organization" in the Kurdish region.
should be noted more. It is also the time when Iran launched an air strike that the United States and Iran fought.
U.S. Central Command said that after Iran launched the cruise missile, the US military stationed in Iraq immediately tracked the missile , and urgently dispatched an F-15 fighter and shot down an Iranian drone. reasoned that Iran's military operations "threatened the security of the US military in Iraq."
However, the US also stated that the attacks launched by Iran did not cause casualties or losses to the US military.
But it is undeniable that the United States and Iran still fought in this conflict, and the US military also shot down an Iranian drone. This should not be an unintentional act, but a preparatory move.
As soon as Iranian drones are strong and are ranked first in the international market, and even the United States has to admit it.
In addition, the United States also blamed the strong strength of Iranian drones on the basis of "Iran shot down and captured the US drone", in order to suggest to the outside world that the reason why Iranian drones are so strong is that they "draw from" US drones.
Therefore, this time the US military seized the opportunity to shoot down the Iranian drone, and perhaps it also tried to "capture" and analyze its weaknesses.
Secondly, the United States dispatched fighter jets to directly shoot down drones, which obviously also had the intention to send a "military deterrence" signal to Iran .
After all, the Americans themselves know that Iran will never attack the US military when it attacks the Kurdish region, otherwise it would be a waste of time to give the United States "a famous opportunity to use force" to the United States.
Therefore, after predicting that Iran would "not be able to hit itself", the US military sent fighter jets to shoot down Iranian drones on the basis of tracking missiles, which was obviously "showing muscles" to Iran in the face.
3, US military fighter jets were launched urgently, and in fact they also had the intention of "appeaseing" the Kurdish armed forces in the region.
Although the United States has repeatedly claimed to the outside world that it has no "agent" in the Middle East; the outside world knows that the reason why the Kurdish armed forces today can grow from an "slipper army" to a force that can gain a foothold at the junction of Iran, Iraq and Turkey and is closely related to the support of the United States.
What's more, many oil fields in the Kurdish region are still stationed by US troops, and the oil produced by has also entered the United States' pockets. These are indisputable facts.
Therefore, when Iran's air strikes on the Kurdish region, the United States will naturally take military actions to show its military presence in the region to appease the Kurdish armed forces.
In addition, it cannot be ignored that as early as a few months ago, Turkey announced a cross-border strike against the Kurdish armed forces, causing significant losses and casualties to the armed forces. Even if the United States launched an emergency negotiation with Turkey at the first time, Erdogan could not change his mind.
Now, Turkey has not yet stopped, but Iran has made another move to the Kurdish region. This is obviously not a coincidence. It reminds people of whether the heads of Russia, Turkey and Iran discussed military operations related to the Kurdish region at the end of July during the meeting between the three leaders of Russia, Turkey and Iran in Tehran, at the end of July?
However, in the past few decades, the United States has frequently bombed and launched air strikes on other countries under the banner of "anti-terrorism", bringing countless wars and turmoil to the Middle East. Now, Iran is launching a crackdown on anti-Iranian organizations in the Kurdish region in front of the United States, which is not a "warning" for the United States?
In addition, in addition to aggravating tensions in the United States and Iraq, this air strike will also lead to the escalation of relations between Iran and Iraq (Iran and Iraq). After the air strike, the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs urgently summoned the Iranian ambassador to Iraq to express strong protests and dissatisfaction, saying that Iran's unilateral military actions were "provocative acts", and that will complicate and intensify the regional situation, and Iraq will take all necessary measures to prevent this from happening again.
In short, the Kurdish region is ultimately in Iraq. Iran’s undeclared war is the biggest challenge to Iraq’s territory and sovereignty, and Iraq naturally will not allow this to happen.
But be aware that Iran has recently launched air strikes on the Kurdish region three times, but the Iraqi government issued a warning to Iran after the third air strike. It is obviously also conveyed 2 important signals behind this:
First, warning Iran to stop, after all, it cannot be repeated again and again. If Iran repeatedly launches air strikes, even if it attacks anti-Iran "extremist organizations", Iraq will not be able to come to Taiwan, and the two Iran may fight at that time;
Second, Iraq is also "powerless" about the situation in the Kurdish region. On the one hand, the United States and Kurdish armed forces are entrenched, and on the other hand, various "extremist organizations" are prevalent. Iran launches anti-terrorism operations here, which may bring a turning point to the situation in the region.
Iranian President Lehi
But no matter what, Iran's air strikes in the Kurdish region and also fought with the United States. This may intensify the current U.S.-Iran relations and bring new variables to the situation in the Middle East.
After all, it is the critical moment of the US-Iran nuclear negotiations. If at this critical moment, the US and Iran dispute again, then the negotiations that hope finally came, and might fail again.
Moreover, it cannot be ruled out that the United States will take the opportunity to "fan the flames" between Iran and Iraq, intensify tensions, and put pressure on Iran.
In short, The storm is coming and the wind is filling the building . The Middle East has always been a place where dragons and tigers fight, but now the turmoil has recurred, which has inevitably made the outside world sweat again.
still hope that all parties will remain rational and restrained, and try to resolve conflicts and conflicts through negotiation and dialogue.
