The earth trembled, and the cannon roared! In August, once again drawn into the vortex of war, a military operation that was seen as a "retaliatory strike" pierced the quiet night sky of the Middle East.
The smoke of gunpowder rose slowly from the adjacent positions, the east wind whistled across the endless Gobi, and bursts of gunfire were heard in the fluttering flags. In the midst of this bloody firefight, there is an "ultimate grenade" that detonates regional conflicts.
Yes, just a few months ago, the Hamas leader was killed in cold blood by unknown assassins in Tehran, the capital of Iran. Iran immediately pointed the finger at the "familiar strangers" of Israel and the United States.
Sure enough, things took a turn for the worse as expected. Tehran's authorities unleashed a series of arrogant verbal threats against Israel, while also gearing up for a powerful counterattack.
And their preferred target is precisely the US military base that plays the role of "scapegoat". Thus, a surprise operation that was considered a retaliatory strike began. The years fly by, and the smoke rises. On the magnificent day of August 6, the flames of war were ignited.
Pro-Iran militants, who have always been active in the Middle East, pierced their sharp fangs at the "Ain al-Assad" US military base in Anbar Province, Iraq. Katyusha rockets rained like lightning from the Haditha area, and for a time the entire base was plunged into violent explosions.
Despite the Iraq army's best efforts to intercept these dead messengers, to no avail. In the end, two rockets smashed into the American camp. In the latest report by Russia's TASS news agency, the Pentagon finally officially recognized this fact.
Not only that, but also to honestly inform the world that the attack caused injuries to many U.S. military personnel. Since the Palestinian-Israeli conflict continued to escalate in October last year, US military bases in the Middle East have indeed been harassed. But in the face of this "retaliatory action" believed to be led by Iran, the outside world is thinking about the next move of both sides.
And just last week, the U.S. military launched powerful air strikes against militants in Iraq, apparently to curb the pro-Iran forces growing there. The source pointed out that who exactly fired rockets to attack the US military base? The answer is surprising - the Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran!
That's right, it was this prestigious elite force that spared no effort to direct pro-Iraq militias to launch a fierce rocket attack on the northern camp of the Ain al-Assad base.
Immediately, Tehran's position and motives also surfaced. In their view, Israel was behind the assassination of the Hamas leader. What they find intolerable is that all this is secretly authorized and supported by the United States.
In the direction of this conflict, the United States can be said to have left palm prints everywhere. The first is that at a time of ongoing tensions, the Pentagon has not only massively increased its troops in the Persian Gulf region, but also a huge aircraft carrier strike group on Iran's doorstep.
Secretary of Defense Austin personally ordered the deployment of more than 20 state-of-the-art F-22 stealth fighters to the Middle East, while nuclear-powered submarines were eyeing nearby waters. What's more, former U.S. Lieutenant General Mike · Kurilla flew to Israel to personally help formulate a war plan against Iran.
Faced with such a grim situation, Tehran naturally decided to take decisive action, that is, to retaliate in the form of "legitimate defense" against US military bases. Through this move, Iran not only sent a serious warning to the United States, but also demonstrated its firm determination to defend its sovereignty. It can be said that the root cause of this round of military conflicts in the Middle East has been laid.
The two sides are still exerting pressure on each other back and forth, and the undercurrents are surging, and the curtain of conflict is slowly opening. And in this crisis-ridden and unbridled war, it seems that no side is willing to make the first side to back down. It is not difficult to see that the situation will continue to escalate in the future. As a global military power, United States will naturally do everything in its power to defend its interests in the Middle East.
At that point, the Pentagon is likely to take more aggressive military action to curb Iran's growing influence in the region. At the same time, there is also a fluctuation of popular sentiment and calls for war in Iran. Known for its proud traditions, the Middle Eastern powerhouse will never compromise on sovereignty and dignity.
Tehran's side may increase its military efforts in the future and resolutely return the favor. This-for-tat military standoff is gradually intensifying. As two important forces in the international community, neither the United States nor Iran can afford to lose, so neither of them is willing to choose to take the initiative to back down. This is doomed to the continuation of the conflict, which will further spread throughout the Middle East.
Looking at the big picture, both sides have their irresistible demands. United States wants to maintain absolute influence in the region, while Iran is determined to defend its sovereignty and dignity. As a result, even diplomacy will not ultimately contain the escalation of the conflict. Rather, it is military confrontation that can be the ultimate solution to this crisis.
