Preface. The Israeli military frequently carried out air strikes on Syria, which eventually hit an important target. The commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps was killed in it, a position comparable to that of Soleimani, who had previously been assassinated by the United States. This incident has triggered a series of chain reactions in the Middle East, setting off a more intense geopolitical game. Here's an in-depth look at a number of perspectives.
1. Israel's strategy.
Israel has long won the so-called game in the Middle East with a desperate strategy, and each successful war has allowed its territory to continue to expand. However, with the offensive on the Gaza Strip, despite the claims of a verbal victory, in reality it has paid a heavy price in a senseless war. Netanyahu**'s approval ratings have slipped, but he has been on the offensive for the sake of his political life. The Israeli army, which wanted to focus on fighting in Gaza, unexpectedly attracted the intervention of the Houthis, affecting the economy and shipping.
2. Iran's role.
Iran has played a role as a supporter and behind-the-scenes manipulator of many armed groups in the Middle East, from Lebanon to Syria to Palestine. Israel's attack on Iran's high-ranking generals is a clear provocation signal from Israel to Iran, with the connotation of demonstration and deterrence.
3. Iran's power and influence.
Iran, under the conditions of long-term sanctions, has developed its own military industry on its own and has become a big brother in the Middle East. Its support for armed forces everywhere and the provision of technical equipment, such as drones and missile technology, have made Iran play a more important role in regional conflicts. Acts such as the blockade of the Red Sea shipping lanes are not only a provocation to Israel and the United States, but also a demonstration of their influence in the region.
Fourth, the dilemma of the United States.
For the United States, Israel is a key ally in the Middle East, but it is often on the back foot as a result. Despite its strength, the United States has been plagued by wars and conflicts in the Middle East. In particular, Iran's attack on its military base has made the United States hesitate in this geopolitical game.
Under the current situation, the strategic pattern of the Middle East region has become more complex, with intertwined forces of various countries and intensified regional conflicts. The tripartite game between Israel, Iran and the United States has become the focus of regional and global attention.
