On the threshold of the Persian War, the USA began to respond to Iran

So, as reported sprotyv.info, in response to the storming of the US embassy in Baghdad, the Iranian general responsible not only for this New Year's Eve action, but also in general, for almost all special operations outside Iran, was liquidated that night - General of the Guard Corps of the Islamic Revolution of Iran (IRGC) Kassem Suleimani.

To say that Kassem Suleimani was one of the key figures in the top leadership of the Islamic Republic is an understatement. Practically all external directions of Iran's work to destabilize and satisfy its revanchist ambitions focused on this person.

And therefore it is not surprising that the leadership of Iran has already issued threats against the United States and its allied countries, such as Israel. In turn, American units continued to replenish the group of troops in the region. In particular, the amphibious amphibious landing group of the US Navy with the flagship USS Bataan and marines on board will enter the Mediterranean Sea from the Atlantic during the day. Also, 12 F/A-18C/D fighters went to the region from the Azores. And this despite the fact that the Harry Truman aircraft carrier has been on duty in the Gulf of Oman since last year.

However, I do not think that all this power, of course, in a coalition with partners, will still find its full use against the Tehran regime. And all because the leadership of Iran is not so prone to the instinct of suicide to openly oppose the US military machine.

Iran has already demonstrated that it is guided by hybrid methods in achieving its goals. Therefore, an open confrontation should not be expected. We should wait for the activation of terrorist groups, underground cells controlled by Tehran, a sabotage network throughout the Middle East, and, of course, the beginning of social unrest organized by puppet groups.

Many political and public groups are affiliated with Iran, not only in Iraq, but also in Palestine and Syria. Afghanistan, Yemen, Lebanon and many other countries cannot be called absolutely protected and not subject to Tehran's influence.

It is also noteworthy that the destabilization in the Middle East will lead to the inevitable destabilization of the commodity market as well. For example, the assassination of Kassem Suleimana undermined oil prices by more than 2%. If the situation worsens and the region plunges into hybrid chaos, it is difficult to even imagine what heights would be favorable for countries that depend on their budgets exclusively at the expense of the raw material component, the prices for "black gold" and all derivatives will reach.

In addition, the Great Persian War will distract the USA for a long time from its daily routine, including the problems of Eastern Europe, hybrid threats from the Russian Federation and, of course, Ukraine.

Thus, we are entering the year 2020 to the accompaniment of a major conflict in the Middle East that is raging. The conflict, which in a hybrid format will cover not only Syria, Yemen or Libya, but practically the entire region. Well, it is not difficult to guess who will get the main profit from this. And I am more than confident that the Kremlin will make every effort to motivate Tehran to engage in this hybrid confrontation with the United States and its allies.
