A wave has not settled, and a wave has risen again. Just as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues to escalate and the situation in the Middle East continues to heat up, three incidents related to Iran and Israel have suddenly occurred, which may further aggravate tensions.
Iran's **Raisi on the 16th, Iran's Tasnim News Agency reported that Iran executed an Israeli intelligence and secret service (Mossad) spy in Sistan-Baluchistan Province, and said that this person deliberately collected classified information and communicated with foreign agencies, including the Mossad, and conspired with other accomplices to provide classified documents related to Iran to external forces, etc.
Israel has not responded to this, but Iran's public execution of an Israeli spy is clearly aimed at putting pressure on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which will add to the already tense Iran-Israel relations.
It appears to have been influenced by Iran's execution of Israeli spiesThree accidents occurred suddenly on the territory of Iran.
The first, the Iranian oil refinery was bombed.
On the 17th, a fire suddenly broke out in an oil refinery in the central Iranian city of Isfahan, and the smoke at the scene was billowing and soaring into the sky, and firefighters rushed to the scene, and after more than 10 hours of fire-fighting operations, the fire was brought under control.
At the moment, the cause of the refinery is unknown, the situation is also unclear, and the Iranian side has not yet responded to this.
It is worth noting that, like most countries in the Middle East, oil exports** are one of the lifeblood of Iran's economy and one of the important ways for Iran to break US sanctions.
Therefore, in addition to the simple accident factor, it cannot be ruled out that some forces hostile to Iran may deliberately obstruct and sabotage it.
The second thing was the sudden crash of an Iranian military plane.
On the 17th, Iran's Tasnim News Agency reported that a "Su-22" fighter belonging to the Iranian military crashed in the city of Kazelen in Fars Province in the south of the country, causing ** and fire, the pilot escaped by emergency parachute jump before the crash, and has now been rescued with minor injuries, in addition to the accident did not cause other people**.
The report said that the cause of the crash may be related to "technical reasons", but the specifics are not yet clear, and the Iranian military has not responded in any way.
It is worth noting that the Su-22 fighter was developed in the sixties and seventies of the last century, a long time ago from this generation, and it cannot be ruled out that the crashed fighter had problems such as disrepair or aging equipment, which led to the crash.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some external forces have deliberately created "technical failures" and other problems, which will lead to tragedy.
As for which possibility it is, or whether it is possible, it depends on the progress of Iran's investigation.
Moreover, if the bombing of an Iranian oil refinery and the crash of a warplane were "accidental" or man-made, there is clearly no such doubt in the case of the bombing of the Iranian police station.
The third thing is that the Iranian police station was bombed, and the UN Security Council spoke out.
A few days ago, a police station in Iran's Sistan-Baluchistan province was attacked by a terrorist attack, and a group of unknown attackers carried out a ** attack on the police stationAt least 11 Iranian police officers were killed and dozens were injured.
On the 17th, the United Nations Security Council issued a statement strongly condemning the terrorist attack, emphasizing that "extremism" in all its forms and manifestations is one of the most serious threats to international peace and security, and that the attackers and behind-the-scenes funders must be held accountable and brought to justice, while calling on all countries to take all means to combat "extremism" in accordance with their obligations under the UN Charter.
Obviously, whether it is from the circumstances of the accident or from the statement issued by the United Nations Security Council, this is a terrorist attack of a bad nature and very unusual, which has aroused widespread concern from all parties.
It is reported that shortly after the attack, an armed group called the "Justice Army" claimed responsibility for the attack.
However, judging from the statement of the United Nations, it is clear that there are "masterminds or funders behind the scenes" behind this group of attackers, and this armed group called the "Justice Army" may not really be behind the scenes, and it cannot be ruled out that some forces hostile to Iran are secretly planning this matter.
A little more importantIt does not seem to be a coincidence that the place where Iran executed the Israeli spy was also in Sistan-Baluchistan province, in the same area as the police station that was attacked, there may be some connection between the two.
Finally, a few superficial observations.
1. After the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the situation in the Middle East has become tense, and Iran has actually shown signs of being "forced to be involved in the whirlpool", such as the frequent bombing of US military bases, and the Pentagon's launch of air strikes in Syria under the banner of "cracking down on pro-Iranian organizations", which is obviously pointing the finger at Iran.
For another example, after Yemen's Houthis joined Hamas's military campaign against Israel, Israel has repeatedly hinted that the Houthis' participation in the war has a certain relationship with Iran.
Now, Iran's public execution of an Israeli spy has led to a succession of accidents and terrorist attacks, and the situation is clearly far more complex and grim than it seems.
2. It cannot be ignored that after the reconciliation between Iran and Saudi Arabia, the "reconciliation process" in the Middle East began, which also made Iran a "thorn in the side" of the United States and the West, and the United States has unabashedly increased pressure on Iran.
