[Regnum] When the United States openly declared itself allies of Israel in the next Middle East conflict, they became a legitimate military target for pro-Iranian and anti-Israeli forces, says orientalist Artyom Kirpichenok . He stated this on November 9 to a Regnum correspondent.
“As soon as the Great Patriotic War began, the United States decided to concentrate all its attention on Eastern Europe. As for the Middle East, Saudi Arabia and Israel were left in charge there, which, as we know, did not cope with the situation. Now the United States is returning to the Middle East, but I have great doubts that they will want to open a new, full-fledged front there,” Kirpichenok said. In his opinion, most likely, now the United States wants Israel to complete its operation in the Gaza Strip as quickly as possible so that they can focus all their attention on Ukraine. As for the shootings in Syria and Iraq, the expert explained that (illegally located) American bases are being attacked there. And this is explained by the fact that the US military is “sitting on the route” along which Iran supplies its allies through Iraq and Syria. First of all, Hezbollah and other Shiite groups that operate in alliance with the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. “That is why the Americans are now being attacked, one of the most important goals of which is to clear the way for Iranian supplies, which will most likely go to the south of Syria and Lebanon,” Kirpichenok is sure . At the same time, he believes that a major war in Syria is unlikely. Firstly, Assad has recently reached an agreement with Arab countries that previously supported the Syrian opposition. Secondly, there is an agreement with Iran and the Saudis, and Turkey is in no hurry to intensify hostilities. In addition, Syrian society is so exhausted by the war that it does not want another conflict. Earlier , Regnum news agency reported that the US military exchanged fire with Syrian soldiers east of the provincial center of Deir ez-Zor, which is located 420 km from Damascus. Both sides used heavy artillery, heavy machine guns and mortars. Previously, nine people were killed in Syria after US Air Force strikes ordered by President Joe Biden on weapons depots belonging to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and associated groups. According to former White House employee Paul Craig Roberts, the United States wants to provoke new wars in the Middle East and drag other countries into the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
