The Middle East is testing again: Iran and Israel escalate tensions
August 2, 2024
Tensions in the Middle East have escalated again, and a conflict between Iran and Israel is on the verge of breaking out. According to a new report by Kuwait Daily, the Iran Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has sent a batch of specially made weapons and equipment to the Lebanon Allah Party and other resistance groups, which are specially developed to develop defense systems for Israel.
Electromagnetic pulse bombs
Iran's preparation
- New weapons: Iran has developed dozens of missiles, drones, and bombs, including stealthy ghost drones, submunition drones, and electromagnetic pulse bombs.
- Electromagnetic pulse bombs: capable of destroying Israel's power infrastructure, communication systems, and command centers in a short period of time.
- Hypersonic missile: Iran's latest Fatah hypersonic missile, with 15 times the speed of sound, will be used against key targets in Israel.
Israel's response
- Emergency measures: 100,000 active members of the Israel army have moved into bunkers or deployed in their vicinity, and soldiers in non-essential posts have returned home and taken refuge in civil defence fortifications.
- Communications Support: Israel officials and military officers have begun to equip them with satellite phones to ensure communication in the event of a possible attack on communications systems.
- International flight cancellations: Several international airlines have canceled flights to Tel Aviv in response to a possible escalation of the conflict.
United States position
- Support for Israel: United States President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have held a conference call about the current situation. The United States said it would enter the war to protect Israel from ballistic missile and drone attacks.
- Defense capability: However, the limited number of Aegis ship verticals in the Eastern Mediterranean calls into question United States' defense capabilities in the face of Iran's overwhelming drone and missile attacks.
Future outlook
- Escalation: Tensions in the Middle East have reached the extreme, and miscalculations or impulsiveness on either side can lead to unforeseen consequences.
- International Appeal: The international community has generally called on all parties to exercise restraint and resolve disputes through dialogue and diplomacy.
conclusion
This conflict is not only about the fate of Iran and Israel, but will also affect the entire Middle East and global security and stability. How the situation in the Middle East will develop in the coming days deserves our continued attention. We call on all parties concerned to put peace first, resolve differences through dialogue and consultation, and jointly safeguard regional and global security and stability.
Iran's counterattack, from the tactical level of the analysis of play
From a tactical perspective, the conflict between Iran and Israel demonstrates the importance of high-tech weapons in modern warfare and the tactics used to use them.
1. Diverse use of missiles and UAVs:
- Iran has developed a variety of missiles and drones, including ghost drones that can hide from detection, submunition drones, electromagnetic pulse bombs, and hypersonic missiles. These weapons are not only highly destructive, but also highly flexible and stealthy.
- Iran plans to first use electromagnetic pulse bombs to destroy Israel's power infrastructure, communications systems, and radar systems, paralyzing its defenses. Subsequently, a large number of drones were dispatched to drop bombs to consume Israel's air defense resources, and finally a missile cluster was used to carry out surprise attacks.
2. Multi-directional, multi-level strikes:
- Iran and its allies (e.g., the Lebanon Allah Party, the Iraq Shiite forces, the Yemen Houthis) plan to strike at the Israel from multiple directions, making it difficult for Israel to defend effectively.
- Iran has adopted a "cheap drone + missile" composite attack method, which consumes Israel's anti-aircraft missiles through a large number of cheap drones, and then delivers decisive strikes with high-precision missiles.
3. Intelligence and communication support:
- Both Iran and Israel have stepped up intelligence gathering and communications support. Israel key officers and officers are equipped with satellite telephones to ensure command and communication in the event that the communications system is destroyed.
- Iran, for its part, has sought to obtain information on Israel's military movements and defense deployments through its internal intelligence network and the support of external allies.
Analysis of the situation in terms of geopolitics
1. Complex situation in the Middle East:
- The Middle East has long been the focus of global attention, involving the intersection of multiple civilizations, religions and ethnic groups. The conflict between Iran and Israel, as important countries in the region, is not only related to the interests of the two countries, but also to the stability and peace of the entire Middle East region.
- As an important country in the Islamic world, Iran has deep religious roots and extensive influence; Israel, on the other hand, occupies a place in the Middle East with its great military and technological prowess. Tensions between the two countries have long been a major factor of instability in the Middle East.
2. Response and intervention of the international community:
- The conflict between Iran and Israel has attracted widespread attention from the international community. Western countries such as the United States have made it clear that they will support Israel and may intervene with military action. However, in the face of Iran's missile and drone attacks, United States' defense capabilities are also facing severe tests.
- International organizations such as the United Nations face dilemmas when dealing with regional conflicts. Due to the different political positions of the member states, it is difficult for the UN Security Council to make effective decisions on certain major issues, which in turn affects its authority in the international arena.
3. Subtle adjustment of the regional balance of power:
- Iran's attack on Israel is not only a demonstration of its military might, but also a challenge to the regional balance of power. Through this operation, Iran hopes to enhance its position and influence in the Middle East while weakening Israel's hegemony.
- However, Israel, as a staunch ally of United States, has strong international support behind it. As a result, Iran's actions could also trigger broader regional conflicts and international intervention.
4. Outlook for the future situation:
- The conflict between Iran and Israel is likely to continue to escalate and have serious implications for the stability and security of the entire Middle East region. Both sides need to remain calm and exercise restraint and avoid taking drastic actions that could lead the situation out of control.
- The international community should strengthen communication and coordination and promote the peaceful settlement of regional disputes. At the same time, countries should also strengthen their own defense capabilities to deal with possible conflicts and crises.
Netizens hotly discussed:
- At most, Iran has gone through the motions, with loud thunder and little rain.
- Iran's new weapons look really advanced, but actual combat is where the real kung fu is tested.
- Israel's air defense system is facing a huge test, and it is hoped that their technology will withstand the challenge.
- It is hoped that the two sides will be able to sit down and have a good talk and not allow the situation to deteriorate further.
