The United States was "crippled".

On January 30, the Russian Satellite News Agency Washington reported that according to the "Politico" newspaper, citing sources, Biden ordered the development of countermeasures against the attack on US troops in Jordan.

The report noted that three servicemen were killed in an attack on a base in northeastern Jordan on Jan. 28, while the Pentagon noted that more than 40 people were injured in the incident.

This is the first time since the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict that US soldiers have been killed in an attack in the Middle East, which means that the situation in the Middle East has escalated significantly, and Iran is likely to usher in a fast, accurate, and ruthless retaliation from the United States.

It is not yet known what kind of retaliatory measures the United States will take, but from the current overall situation, Iran's strength should not be underestimated, at least the United States underestimated Iran's military strength earlier, so that the United States has repeatedly lost this military operation.

Since the outbreak of the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the forces behind it have all been revealed, behind Israel is the United States, behind Palestine is Iran, to be precise, behind Palestine are several Middle Eastern countries that are unwilling to be hegemonized by the United States and Israel.

While Israel is attacking the Gaza Strip in turn without humanity, the Houthis in Yemen are trying their best to contain the United States so that Israel does not dare to be too presumptuous. According to incomplete statistics, the US military base currently stationed in Iran has been attacked 66 times, although there was no ** before, but this is undoubtedly 66 slaps in the face of the United States.

New and old hatred between the United States and Iran

The grievances of Middle Eastern countries are complex, and the contradictions between the United States and Iran can be traced back decades. To put it simply, Iran has been accused by the United States of supporting terrorism, developing nuclear weapons, intervening in the Middle East situation, etc., and therefore adopted a series of sanctions against Iran, which has led to many fierce war of words between the United States and Iran.

In 2015, Iran signed a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with China, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and Germany on the Iranian nuclear issue, in exchange for lifting Iranian sanctions, but in 2018, after Trump took office in the United States, Trump announced that he would withdraw from the agreement and re-impose sanctions on Iran, which also directly led to the escalation of contradictions between the United States and Iran.

In 2020, the United States assassinated Iran's senior general Soleimani in Iraq, directly detonating the contradictions between the United States and Iran.

Even if Biden took office in the United States in 2021 and expressed his willingness to return to the Iran nuclear deal, he failed to ease relations between the United States and Iran.

Then in 2023, after the outbreak of a new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States and Iran will attack one after another, even more frequent and intensive than Israel's attack on Gaza. Iran has a sense of shame.

As for the United States, its hegemony, influence, and military strength are not as good as before, not to mention that its military strength is not concentrated now, and if it really wants to do it, it will not necessarily be Iran's opponent.

The mystical forces of the East are at work

In fact, it is not difficult to find that in the past, Iran dared not dare to fight angrily, but now it is different, it has confidence, and it is much tougher than before.

In March last year, China successfully brokered the resumption of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, which is the reconciliation of the century, something that many countries want to do but cannot do.

What followed is the cooperation between China and Middle Eastern countries, including Iran, with economic support, coupled with its already not weak military strength, will Iran still be afraid of the United States?

In addition, as early as 2022, Iran began to promote "de-dollarization" and settle in yuan, in other words, the hegemony of the United States is already very small for Iran.

China has turned Iran on a seismic shift, albeit a little longer, but the results have been good, and it is for this reason that China's influence in the Middle East is growing day by day, while the United States is getting worse.

Say it at the endAccording to relevant reports, the United States still speaks very well, and Biden said that he does not want the situation to escalate. But it is worth noting that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the response to Iran is multi-layered, phased and continues over time.

In other words, the escalation of the situation and whether the United States and Iran go to war are at the mercy of the United States.

If the United States takes severe retaliation, it will only aggravate the crisis situation in the Middle East and even trigger a world scuffle, and the consequences will be unimaginable; the United States, the source of the world's troubles, really has to think twice before doing it this time; even if it does not consider the safety and peace of all countries in the world, it must also consider its own weakening military strength; if I remember correctly, the US military has just mistaken the enemy plane for its own drone.
