An insightful analysis by Leonid Tsukanov, Iran's bold missile strike against Israel unfolds after months of tension, revealing the strategic calculations and power plays shaping the region's future.
I find it interesting that Iran's attack followed on the heels of missile launches by Russia & China. Remember, the three are united in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a strategic, defensive alliance. A rumor that, in response to talk of sending missiles to Russia's interior, a projectile streaked over the Naval base in Bellingham, Washington State creating shock waves like sonic boom, then earth quake shocks registering on the Richter Scale, seemed to produce an abrupt dismissal of the idea in U $a. Then just a few days later, China launched a missile test that flew over Guam culminating in a huge explosion. Then in just a few days, Iran launched its long-awaited retaliatory strike on military sites in Israel. To my mind, the message couldn't be more clear. We are united, we are watching, & we have weapons you don't have. Sometimes it takes time for such a message to penetrate the entrenched thinking of the exceptionalist hegemon but surely someone gets it.
