Russia and China want the attention to shift from Ukraine and Taiwan to the Middle East

עיתון בין אויבים

A newspaper among enemies

About two months ago, the Chinese and Russian president’s spoke on the phone, and the Chinese told the Russian that China would support Russia's sovereignty and security. A few days ago, during Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, Russia supported the angry Chinese response to the visit. Russian President Putin depends on Chinese President Xi, who rescues him, as Iran does, from the American sanctions, with the help of oil purchases, but Xi also depends on Putin to realize his plans to establish a global military force under his leadership, and to establish a Chinese global financial system. The Chinese News Agency stated this week that Xi's dream is to establish an army with world-class qualities, under his leadership. With a little common sense, one can conclude from this that the Chinese leader's dream is to set up Chinese, Russian, Iranian, North Korean competition for NATO, under his leadership. China cannot fulfill this dream without Russia, and probably not without Iran and the regional axis that Iran has established in the Middle East.
One important thing China hates to do is reveal its plans before they are mature. For the dirty work, China has Putin, whose plans were exposed anyway when he invaded Ukraine. On normal days, even Russia, as a world power, is not crazy about this role, but Putin now has fewer choices than Xi: Putin met twice in the last month with the Iranian president and its supreme leader. On the agenda: Russia's plans as part of the world axis Russia China. In the first meeting we reported here, the Iranian and Russian presidents talked about the weakening of the dollar and the need for a global financial system; This mention in the Iranian announcement that came out after the meeting indicates China's presence in this discussion, since there is no weakening of the dollar and no global financial system without China. After the second Russian Iranian meeting, which this time was attended by the Russian President and Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei, three key things happened regarding the Middle East: The first thing is that the leader of Hezbollah suddenly set a date for the confrontation with Israel: the month of September. The second thing that happened after the meeting, is that the Iranian leader quoted the racist abomination book written in Russia – The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a literary abomination written at the beginning of the last century by the Russian secret service. The third thing is that Iran's relations with Palestinian extremist Islam came out of the closet, when the Jihad leader visited Tehran. We previously reported extensively here on Iran's relations with Palestinian extremist Islam, including the route of transferring Iranian money to Hamas.
Why did Iran raise the regional tension after the meetings with Putin? Our assessment is that Putin and Xi need to divert the world's attention from Taiwan and Ukraine to the Middle East, and Iran is helping them in this. But why is Iran assisting in this, is a regional war in the Middle East an Iranian interest? Although the oppressive Iranian leader threatens Israel with annihilation, and as mentioned, he even quotes from the abominable Russian reports, according to which the Germans destroyed a third of the Jewish people, and a war that would lead to widespread destruction in Iran, and perhaps even an uprising of the moderate public in Iran, is not necessarily in the Iranian interest. Therefore, it is possible that Iran is conducting negotiations with the West in Vienna and is using the Russian Chinese sword for this purpose, which was expressed in Nasrallah's words regarding the date of a possible confrontation with Israel in September. In other words, maybe Iran wants to get a good agreement in Vienna with the help of the additional rapprochement with Russia and China.
On Thursday at the reopening of the talks in Vienna, Iran warned the US, according to the Iranian press, saying that "the hours in Vienna are decisive". The Iranian threat can be interpreted as if Iran has options, and it may turn to them and has even begun to act in this direction. Since the tension that Iran has led to in recent months has already given rise to a conflict between Israel and Jihad, the chance of a deterioration is now higher than it was until now. The Middle Eastern instinct to confront, like gladiators in the arena of the superpowers, with the superpowers watching the spectacle from the upper seats, may come to the fore again. Unless logic returns to Tehran at the last moment, or if an agreement is signed in Vienna.
