Iran targeted Wednesday morning the two bases of the US-led coalition in Iraq, with about twenty missiles. This was in revenge for the murder of the powerful Iranian general Qassem Soleimani from the previous week. As a retaliatory action appears to be the Iranian attack is a mild one: there seem to be no victims in some cases. What's going on behind the missile attack?
In short, Iran attacked two bases by the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq with a missile, No casualties are known, but the Iranian state television claims that dozens of dead American president, He is Wednesday's statement, Tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalated after a Us attack on Iran, general Soleimani is in Iraq, Soleimani, was very popular in Iran, and is regarded as one of the iconic years of the nation
"for The ruthless revenge for the Revolutionary Guard has begun", announced that the military elitekorps in Iran on Wednesday to the berichtenapp Current after twenty or so missiles in the early hours of the morning the two bases of the US-led coalition in Iraq, had been hit.
now, Sources are saying that the Americans were aware in good time of the approaching missile. As far as is known there were no casualties.
"Not soft, but are calculated as" correct Peyman Jafari, Irandeskundige at the University of Amsterdam, the netherlands. "On the one hand, this action is Iran's revenge will take. This way, the regime, the calls for retribution in Iran itself. It is symbolic that this will be done by the Revolutionary Guard itself, and not by the pro-Iranian militias. And that it will be running with the rockets, who are in Iran have been made. The question then is: do we, with all our knowledge, and our weapons."
now, The Iranians are not in a conventional war with the united states. These are things they don't like the winner will come true. "You're the Americans, for now, be warned, no American deaths. As many Americans have been killed in the war, the US have been forced Iranian territory to attack them."
Iran launched missiles at American targets in Iraq, He has to put
according to Jafari, who on the other side of the calculation, Tehran: the ball is now at Home. "He has to choose whether or not he's going to escalate or de-escalate. As for this last option, he should be at his supporters and say: "no, No, guys, we're not going to attack you, because it wasn't big enough.'"
in Political terms, that's a complicated message. Many of the supporters of the Us president, his wars and new military adventures abroad, and especially in the Middle East and so on. He was partially elected because of his promise to the American involvement in the " wars without an end-to-end. At the same time, increases Iran's retaliatory action is the call of the blood under his havikachtigere followers.
After the death of Soleimani did He know that Iran will have to be careful. The Americans would have their finger on the trigger to 52 targets in lebanon, including cultural heritage, as well as to bombard, as Tehran would strike back for the death of the famous general. The announcement did, however, almost immediately you can see that the White House was divided: the secretary of defense Mark Esper, said that the destruction of that heritage counts as a war crime, and alluded that the Us armed forces, such a command would not be run.
the Us president, it makes sense in a war?
In the light of the earlier threat, the response of the American president, the Iranian rocket fire Wednesday morning in a diffident voice, to name a few. "It is all very well.", he wrote on Twitter. "The missiles are launched from Iran at two military bases in Iraq. The evaluation of the casualties, and the damage is taking place. So far, everything is great! We have the most powerful and best-armed military in the world, by far! I shall be early to-morrow morning, with a statement of that."
It's an indication that He is on the escalation, " says Jafari. "No, because he's suddenly become a reasonable man, but because of the prospect of a real war, made him realize that he does not have a broader strategy for Iran. What does he want, exactly, to go? It has the voltage stepped up, and that is the only thing left that the next step would be a war."
All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, So good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning.
AvatarAuteurrealDonaldTrumpMoment of plaatsen02:45 pm - January 8, 2020 Iran's call for revenge, to be answered on theFor Tehran seems to be in the torment of the two bases, as in Iraq, provisionally adequate, " says the Irandeskundige. Iran's state-controlled media continued to Wednesday, claiming that the rocket fire, dozens of the victims were to be claimed. Even if the lie is not sustainable is clear is that there is a second approach that is available.
Jafari: "The regime declares that it will be the sweetest revenge and if the Americans leave Iraq immediately. If that were to happen, Iran has to eventually however, significant progress has been made. They are afraid that the Us troops in Iraq to be a threat. You will need to do not forget that the neighbouring countries; for example, that there are Iranian troops in Mexico, were to be stationed."
That is the sweet revenge, it seems, to a certain extent, within arm's reach. Iran has considerable influence in Iraq, both economically and religiously, and politically. It will help Iraq in the reconstruction after the collapse of a regional caliphate of the Islamic State, and provides for the shi'ite political movement and a militia, support, and guidance.

the American position in Iraq will continue to weaken
The death of Soleimani, the mastermind behind the growing influence of Iran in the region, it appears that the U.s. position on Iraq, rather to weaken than to strengthen. Iraq's parliament, infuriated over the U.s. violation of Iraqi sovereignty; took over on a Sunday for a non-binding resolution that all foreign military personnel for the job in Iraq is to leave. The Iraqi prime minister Adel Abdul Mahdi called on Americans on Tuesday to have their stuff to deal with.
It should be noted, however, that the vote in parliament was boycotted by the sunni and Iraqi Kurdish politicians, who are afraid of the instability and the interests of domination, and that Abdul Mahdi, as caretaker prime minister on his way to the door.
you can make A withdrawal of all foreign troops from Iraq would be that the oil-rich neighboring country will not automatically be in the lap of the Iranian issues, said Jafari. "When the Americans are gone, you can see that the differences between Iraq back to the surface. A lot of Iraqis have also criticized the Iranian influence. It's not as though Iran is in full control of the Party, which will play a major role in this."
