Recently, Iranian drones attacked a Japanese freighter in the Arabian Sea after a long-distance raid, which immediately caused high tension in the international community. Previously, attacks on cargo ships had been carried out mainly in the Red Sea and were mostly carried out by local groups such as the Houthis, but this drone attack took place in the Arabian Sea, only about 200 kilometers from the Indian mainland. What is even more radically different from the past is that this time the drone took off from Iranian soil, breaking with tradition and showing significant changes.
According to people familiar with the matter, in addition to Japan, the financier behind the freighter is also involved in Israeli shipping tycoon Itami Over. This explains why Iranian drones did not hesitate to attack the freighter by flying more than 800 kilometers.
Iran's move this time indicates that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is in danger of a full-scale escalation. In particular, after Israel's successful assassination of Iran's senior military adviser, General Mousavi, Iran's retaliatory actions will only increase, not less.
The United States has expressed great concern about the Iranian attack. The reason for this is obviously the fear of Iran's own end, and now the United States is fully supporting the two wars in Ukraine and Israel, and the defense force is already stretched, once Iran decides to participate in it, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict will change dramatically. It is highly likely that the Middle East will evolve into an imperial graveyard, and a generation of hegemons will fall!Iran said it would retaliate against Israel
