The correlation of forces in the Middle East has changed due to the Iranian-Saudi rapprochement mediated by China and the integration of Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt into the Brics bloc.
As the balance has tipped, Iran is not interested in any regional war, nor is Hezbollah, no matter how much the intoxicators allude to an escalation in the Middle East war, which always begins and ends in Iran. Behind Hamas is Iran, behind the Huthis is Iran, behind Hezbollah is Iran, behind Hashd Al Shabbi is Iran....
However, since October 7, the Tehran government has been unable to show more caution. Its support for Palestine is rhetorical. Then the problem becomes up to the United States: if Iran does not go to war on its own, how to take it to war, to what kind of war?
The United States cannot attack Iran directly in the hope of a positive outcome. It has to resort to a "proxy war" or, as they say now, to intermediaries. It would extend to neighboring countries (Iraq, Pakistan) to outflank Tehran from the east and west with "failed states" that are easy to manipulate.
Another advantage of such a war is that the imperialist propaganda is more assimilable. It would almost seem to be an "internal war" of a country, like Iran, which is sinking in its own contradictions and in insoluble conflicts with its neighbors (Iraq and Pakistan).
The United States needs to concentrate on the Pacific and that too is very difficult without controlling the Middle East, and not only for oil, as can be seen in the Red Sea. Libya-style destabilization is an essential part of that control.
In addition to the Islamic Caliphate, the United States has activated its pawns in the region, which are varied, as was seen during the destabilization in the streets of Tehran in the fall, which the intoxication media presented under the smokescreen of the Islamic veil. But in Iran there are also other types of organizations more suitable than the NGOs to take a leap forward in the destabilization of Iran, such as the independence fighters of Balochistan, the Kurds or the MEK (Mujahedin-e-Khalq).
"Iran is playing with fire in Balochistan", wrote Foreign Policy magazine a year ago, alluding to "sectarian tensions" between Shiites and Sunnis (1). A year later there was an Iranian attack on the pro-independence Beluchi organizations operating across the border.
In December the Chief of Staff of the Pakistani army, General Asim Munir, traveled to Washington, where he stayed for a week (2). Before taking over as army chief in 2022, Munir headed the intelligence services. He is the first officer in the Pakistan Army who does not come from the army itself.
Following the visit, Pakistan released an official statement highlighting that the two sides discussed ongoing conflicts in the region and agreed to "enhance interactions" for "mutually beneficial" engagements. The statement added that "counter-terrorism cooperation and defense collaboration were identified as key areas."
Obviously Wednesday's strikes were not directed against Syria, Iraq or Pakistan, as the intoxicators claim, but against the bases where the Pentagon militarily trains armed organizations that oppose the Tehran government
Russia is Iran's bodyguard
In anticipation of war, Iran has been pressing Russia to sign a strategic alliance. But if the Iranians are reluctant to commit themselves to the end in the regional hornet's nest, so is Russia.
In December, while General Munir went to Washington, Iranian President Ebrahim Raissi went to Moscow. Just this week the Russian Defense Ministry reported that Russia has finally agreed to sign the alliance with Iran.
"Both sides emphasized their commitment to the fundamental principles of Russian-Iranian relations, including unconditional respect for each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity, which will be confirmed in the important intergovernmental treaty between Russia and Iran, while this document is already being finalized."
Russia's commitment to Iran's sovereignty and territorial integrity is part of the alliance. Both sides stress the importance of regional security issues.
On Wednesday Maria Zakharova said the new treaty would consolidate the strategic partnership between Russia and Iran and cover all their ties. "Since the signing of the current treaty, the international context has changed and relations between the two countries are experiencing unprecedented growth," Zakharova said.
Separately, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov added that they were pending determination of a date for a meeting between Putin and Raisi that would formally seal the strategic partnership.
