The key objectives of the provocative attack by the United States and Israel against Iran have failed.
The succession of Khamenei did not topple the regime, instead it rallied Iran
1) They killed Khamenei, the religious leader of Iran, but the regime did not collapse and the Iranians rallied around a government they may like or dislike, but in times of war the people identify with the authority.
Moreover, the arrival of the son Khamenei is proof of the failure of the entire effort by the Americans, who were dragged along by the gang that governs Israel.
The Iranian people with unprecedented participation swear allegiance to Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei.
Iran endured militarily and overturned U.S. Israel planning
2) Militarily the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which numbers 130,000 soldiers, together with the regular army of Iran, which numbers 600,000 soldiers, appeared to confront the challenges and the missile attack doctrine worked.
The major destruction in Tehran and in other cities in Iran is equivalent or comparable to the terrifying damage in Tel Aviv, while the destruction at 14 military bases of the United States in the countries of the Persian Gulf, the destruction of 4 modern THAAD systems, the triple strike on an American aircraft carrier, the downing of more than 82 American Israeli drones since the beginning of the war, the downing of 4 F-15 fighter aircraft and the destruction of advanced American and Israeli radars in the region have created a completely different situation, disrupting and altering the operations of the Americans and Israel.
The Americans did not succeed militarily in Iran, this is the raw reality.
The Americans are afraid.
The United States abandoned the invasion scenario, the cost would have been enormous
3) The United States, after the surprise it suffered during the first week from the Iranian retaliation, backed down.
1They have now abandoned plans for a landing of soldiers in Iran, since the Iranian army is far better prepared.
Moreover, the reports that with 5,000 American soldiers they would settle the matter are ridiculous.
The United States has 50,000 soldiers and personnel in the Middle East and did not manage to do it.
For a landing to occur, a fire group of 100,000 soldiers from penetration and assault brigades, artillery batteries and air force would need to be assembled, and for all these forces to be gathered a period of 5 months would be required.
Moreover, Russian sources have estimated that the losses of the Americans in a war with Iran on Iranian territory would be thousands.
And while the Iranians are familiar with the dead, the Americans are not.
Also in political terms it would be a failure since the Republicans in the midterm elections on 3 November would lose both chambers in Congress, it would be a huge defeat by the nonexistent Democrats.
Oil became a weapon of pressure and the global economy went on alert
4) Oil surged to 114 dollars before falling to 98 dollars per barrel.
This development alone, the panic in the oil market, could cause an earthquake in the global economy and obviously the United States was targeted and criticized by dozens of countries.
The Republican senator Lindsey Graham called on Israel not to attack Iranian oil infrastructure.
“Please be careful when selecting targets.
The surge in oil prices benefits Russia because of its large production.
Time is running for Russia, which has shown enormous patience.
American bases in the Gulf became targets, not a security shield
5) The American bases in the countries of the Gulf proved to be a target and a factor of destabilization, not a guarantee of security.
It is clear that there is great dissatisfaction in the monarchies of the Persian Gulf against the Americans.
Russia and China provided critical support to Iran and changed the balance
6) Russia provided valuable military intelligence about the American bases and Israel and thus the Iranians achieved impressive success.
The strikes against the Americans were tremendous and intervention was even needed in Russia to stop the cooperation with Iran.
Russia is taking revenge on the West, what the West did with Ukraine to weaken Russia, Russia is now doing through Iran to weaken the presence of the Americans in the Persian Gulf, also the Chinese had military cooperation with Iran.
Russia and China helped Iran.
The United States backs down and does not consider a ground operation in Iran
President Trump stated that the United States does not currently have plans to conduct a ground military operation in Iran, as reported by the New York Post.
“We have not yet made any decision on the matter.
We are very far from that,” said Trump, commenting on rumors about negotiations for the deployment of American troops at an underground uranium enrichment facility in Iran.
Trump also emphasized his dislike for Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei, who became the new Supreme Leader of Iran after the death of his father.
On Sunday 8 March, Trump told ABC News that the new leader of Iran “will not last long” unless he “receives our approval”.
Despite Trump’s denial that the United States is preparing for a ground operation in Iran, many American media outlets, including Semafor, NBC News and Axios, have reported that this scenario is being actively considered.
Earlier, Israel launched a limited ground military operation in southern Lebanon against the Shiite movement Hezbollah.
American senator Lindsey Graham unexpectedly attacked Israel over the strikes on Iran
The Republican senator Lindsey Graham called on Israel not to attack Iranian oil infrastructure.
“Please be careful when selecting targets.”
Israel’s Channel 12 reported tensions between the United States and Israel because of the strikes on Iran’s oil infrastructure.
A representative of the Energy Committee of the Iranian parliament reported attacks on 4 oil storage facilities in the country.
Relations between Russia and Iran will gain predictability - We welcome the new religious leader
Relations between Russia and Iran will gain greater predictability and develop a strategic partnership, according to the President of the International Affairs Committee of the Federation Council.
“The fact that a new leader was elected so quickly and in such a smooth manner demonstrates that the Iranian political community is capable of focusing on the essentials and achieving results.
Of course, all reasonable people welcome the emergence of a new leader, especially the son of the late Khamenei.
I think this will only add predictability to our relationship and mutual interest in developing a strategic partnership.
In short, everything is positive.”
Earlier, the Russian president Putin congratulated Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei on his election as Supreme Leader of Iran.
The Russian leader confirmed his “unwavering support and solidarity” with Tehran.
He added that Russia “was and will be” a reliable partner of Iran.
