In the recent Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Hamas has shown surprising combat effectiveness, firing a large number of rockets at Israel, causing heavy losses to Israel. This came as a great surprise to Israel, as they have always considered Hamas a weak enemy.
Iran has long been regarded by the United States and Israel as the back-the-scenes financier of Hamas, and although Iran has repeatedly denied providing any military assistance to Hamas, the United States and Israel do not believe it. They believe that Iran is using Hamas to confront Israel and destabilize the Middle East.
The continued escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has unnerved the United States, which fears that Iran will take the opportunity to expand its influence in the Middle East and threaten American interests and allies. Therefore, the United States has repeatedly warned Iran that it will cut off its support for Hamas, otherwise it will face serious consequences.
Iran** has ignored U.S. warnings and has instead been denying support for Hamas. Iran claims that they are only morally supporting the just cause of the Palestinians and have not provided any ** or funds to Hamas. Iran also accused the United States and Israel of violently suppressing Palestinians and violating international law and human rights.
In the stalemate of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Israel feels more and more passive, and in the face of strong condemnation from the international community, Israel has decided to take more drastic action against Iran. In recent days, Israel has carried out two attacks on Iran's main gas pipelines, causing huge losses to Iran.
According to the report of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, a gas pipeline in a certain part of Iran has occurred**, the sound has resounded for 60 kilometers, the gas ** in dozens of villages has been interrupted, the **site has been blocked for several hours, schools in the surrounding areas have been closed, and several provinces have begun to restrict the consumption of natural gas.
The New York Times quoted sources as saying that this is a new round of Israeli strikes against Iran, with the aim of destroying Iran's energy infrastructure and causing economic and social turmoil to Iran. This time ** has affected the use of natural gas by millions of people in Iran, and the dissatisfaction of the Iranian people has intensified.
The Iranian side did not publicly respond to the Israeli attack, saying only that the gas pipeline had been sabotage, and Iran's oil minister also said that ** did not pose much threat to Iran's energy security and did not cause public refuge**.
The Israeli side has also not acknowledged or denied the attack on Iran, but some ** believe that it is a major escalation of Israel's military strike against Iran. Previously, Israel mainly targeted Iran's nuclear facilities, but now, Israel has turned its target to Iranian civilian facilities, which means that Israel will pose a greater threat to Iran in all aspects.
As a powerful country in the Middle East, Iran has always been hostile to Israel, and Israel has never given up its attack on Iran, and there has been a fierce competition between the interests and influence of the two sides in the Middle East. Israel's goal is clear: to force Iran to cut off aid to Hamas through military deterrence, so that Hamas cannot confront Israel on the Gaza issue.
In addition to Israel, the United States is also exerting pressure on Iran, and some time ago, the United States carried out strikes against a number of pro-Iranian forces in Syria and Iran, destroying the forces that Iran has cultivated over the years, dealing a heavy blow to Iran.
Iran is a little overwhelmed by the United States and Israel, Iran's economy is also declining, and Iran's support for armed forces such as Hamas and Allah has begun to struggle a little.
Although Iran has abundant oil and gas resources, its total GDP is only 80% of Israel's, and the Israeli attack on Iran's civilian construction is also a warning that Iran will pay a greater price if it does not stop. It remains to be seen how Iran will respond.
