The situation in the Middle East is in a mess, and the United States can have a posture of ignition!
When I received the news about the Kerman City in Iran, I felt an inexplicable sense of excitement. Eighty-four people died and 284 were injured, and this is not just a number, but also the shattering of families and the loss of lives. This incident is regarded as the worst Iranian attack since 1979, and it is indignant to wonder what is wrong with the world
On January 3, Iranians commemorated Soleimani, who had been assassinated by Trump four years earlier, in the city of Kerman, only to be attacked in a horrific manner. Soleimani, a former commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force, has added chaos to the Middle East. In this moment of struggle for international supremacy, everything has become so incomprehensible.
The attack has attracted widespread attention, and netizens have left messages: Who did this?What will be the impact on the situation in the Middle East?I think it's not just a simple attack, it's the more complex core issue behind it.
Event depiction. First, let's review the background of this serial**. Happening on the side of the road leading to Soleimani's grave, this detail is crucial. Soleimani was assassinated by U.S. forces under Trump's command on January 3, 2020, and this time coincided with his fourth anniversary. This is not a coincidence, but it is intentionally designed. The targeting of Soleimani's supporters was ostensibly an attack on his commemoration, but the motive behind it was much deeper.
Soleimani's identity.
To understand this incident, we must first understand the identity of Soleimani. He represents the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Iran's spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ali Ali Khamenei. This Iranian political system is known as an Islamic republic, and it is a unique and complex form of politics. In this system, the status of the religious leader is higher than that of the head of state, i.e. **. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is responsible for Iran's expansion of influence in the Middle East and supports Islamist forces in the region. This makes Iran a key party in the situation in the Middle East.
Iran's political system.
Iran's political system is an Islamic republic, which blends elements of Islam and republicanism. Despite the **, it is actually led by a religious leader, and this unique system is rare internationally. One of the purposes of this system was to balance domestic contradictions and give the common people a certain right to vote, but to maintain the dominance of religious leaders in the affairs of the state. Another purpose of this political system is to exert influence in the region, using Islam as a common religious bond to unite multiple countries.
Suspects and motives.
Who could be behind this attack?There are four forces: Israel, the United States, the Sunni countries, and the secular faction in Iran. On the surface, the United States is the most suspicious, but now it is Biden who is in power, and Soleimani was assassinated during the Trump era, and there are big differences between the two parties in their Middle East policies. Israel also has a motive, but the odds are low due to the current predicament. Sunni countries, in order to reconcile with Iran, are also unlikely to act so aggressively at this time. Finally, secular factions in Iran may be outraged by the Revolutionary Guards' excessive intervention, but will hardly be able to possess the capabilities of this attack.
The impact of the situation in the Middle East.
This attack is bound to provoke a frenzied retaliation from Iran. Iranian-backed Allah, Houthi and Iraqi Shiite militias will launch even more intense attacks on Israel. The Jews have a huge presence in the United States, and if Israel is mired in war, the United States will not be able to stay out of it. With the United States already weakened, being dragged into the war could be a huge blow to it, with far-reaching consequences for the global landscape.
This series of events raises concerns about the imminent collapse of US hegemony. This is not only an attack on Iran, but also a war to reshuffle the cards, a microcosm of the confrontation of power in the Middle East and even globally. From a neutral standpoint, US hegemony is not a good thing for the international community. The Middle East has long been plagued by war, and too much US intervention will only make the land more volatile. Perhaps, this serial ** is a microcosm of the chaotic situation in the Middle East, and a prelude to a storm that the world is experiencing.
Epilogue.
In this turbulent world, we have seen the Middle East in the smoke of war, and we have seen the United States trying to maintain hegemony without being in the middle. And China, as a peacefully rising country, should remain highly vigilant at this time. We must not allow ourselves to be drawn into the disputes of other countries, still less can we allow the shadow of hegemony to overshadow our development. As netizens said, this is not only a geopolitical game, but also a big test of global destiny. We should be rational and take a clear-cut stand to uphold peace and defend justice and fairness in the world. This is not only a responsibility for one's own country, but also a responsibility for the future of mankind.
