Iran retaliated in retaliation for the terrorist attacks on Iranians at the Soleimani commemoration. PassedBallistic missileswithDrones, Iran successfully fought terrorist groups on the territory of several neighboring countries, as well as Israel'sIntelligence agencies。Although Iran this timeMilitaryThe operation had some success, but it had serious consequences. Since the targets of the strikes are all located in the territory of other countries, Iran has been counterattacked by many parties, making it a target of public criticism.
Iraq and Pakistan are extremely angry at Iran's actions. IraqtoSecretary-General of the United NationswithUnited NationsThe President of the Security Council submitted a complaint in response to the Iranian missile attack and summoned the Iranian consulateBaghdadChargé d'affaires a.i., expressed ** in response to the Iranian attack. A similar situation has occurred in Pakistan, which has taken almost every diplomatic retaliatory measure except for the severance of diplomatic relations and has carried out cross-border strikes against terrorist groups in Iran. Iraq and Pakistan have reacted more hawkishly than others, leaving Iran in a difficult position.
Unlike Iraq and Pakistan, the United States and Turkey are not recognized for their presence in IraqMilitaryThe action is subject to any punishment. Recently, the United States has launched many air strikes in Iraq, even direct strikesBaghdadsome regions. However, Iraq has taken no further action beyond rhetoric and condemnation. The toughest statement was only to demand that the United States withdraw its troops, but the American side refused. At the same time, Turkey has taken advantage of the turmoil in the Middle East to launch several air strikes against Iraq, but Iraq has not taken any retaliatory measures against it. Compared to Iran, the United States and Turkey are acting more recklessly, but with impunity.
Iran has always been developing in a state of forbearance and forbearance. Although it has been sanctioned and blockaded by Western countries for a long time, Iran's national strength is still not weak, and it also has considerable influence in the region. However, Iran, which has shown more restraint in the face of provocations than the United States and Turkey, has been met with harsher counters. This is closely related to Iran's long-standing reluctance to swallow its anger.
Iran has been refraining from the use of force in order to maintain its own development. In recent years, while Iran retaliated after Soleimani's assassination, flattening the largest U.S. base in Iraq, it has chosen to endure similar incidents since then. Whether it is the assassination of Fakhrizadeh, the "father of the Iranian nuclear bomb", orIranian RevolutionWith the assassination of the Brigadier General of the Guards in Syria, Iran has endured these provocations. This is not to say that Iran is timid, but because Iran's development path is fraught with hardships, and Iran will use force only as a last resort. In the event of war, Iran's pace of development will be interrupted, and Iran will have to pay a greater price than other countries in order to get back on track.
Iran has always kept its temper to its throat, and when it finally unleashed its anger, other countries could not adapt and resorted to some heavy-handed measures to suppress Iran in order to avoid a similar incident again. This is precisely a tactic that Iran has been used to contain it.
Iran's retaliation set off a chain reaction that was met with harsh counters from Iraq and Pakistan. At the same time, the United States and TurkeyMilitaryThe operation was not sanctioned in any way. This shows that Iran has been holding back and exercising restraint for a long timeInternationalIt does not gain much recognition in society, but instead becomes a bargaining chip for other countries to suppress it.
As a major regional power, although Iran is not inferior to other countries in terms of national strength and influence, due to its special development environment and background, it has always advanced in forbearance and moderation. However, this kind of swallowing of anger has not made other countries more tolerant of Iran, but has only inspired other countries to provoke and suppress Iran. As a country, Iran should also reflect on its own development path and find more appropriate ways to safeguard its own interests and dignity. Only inInternationalOnly by appearing in a more firm and confident posture in the society can we truly win our own development space.
