US's Hidden Middle East Strategy… Iran Pressure is 'Fake'

The starting point of Saudi Arabia's east-west pipeline was attacked, causing critical damage to Saudi Arabia's oil export capacity. Unlike simple pipeline repair, the pump facilities that allow crude oil to flow as petroleum were directly attacked, and it is expected to take a considerable amount of time for normalization.

This attack shows Iran's intention to expand its front through Houthi rebel involvement, and clearly revealed a lack of intelligence and preparedness from the US and Saudi Arabia.

The Houthi rebels have seized islands near the strait, securing actual control over shipping.

This is a military movement at the level of a maritime blockade, beyond mere missile provocation, potentially having a serious impact on international maritime logistics.

Saudi Arabia requested bombing support from the United States to respond to Iran's attack, but the US refused, intensifying Saudi Arabia's isolation. With the situation becoming urgent, Saudi Arabia reportedly requested military assistance from Israel through foreign media reports.

This situation increases uncertainty regarding Iran-Saudi talks and signals a shift in the Middle East security landscape.

This clearly shows Iran's determination to strengthen its leadership in the current situation.

Iran's demands are effectively at a level that implies a US surrender, making negotiations between the two sides difficult.

The US is implementing a strategy to continuously blockade Iran's oil exports and impose economic sanctions to completely isolate the Iranian economy. Additionally, deeming economic blockade alone insufficient, it is combining selective military strikes to pressure Iran.

The US is anticipating the possibility of an Iranian civil war next year, and this strategy is interpreted as aiming to amplify internal discontent in Iran to induce regime change.
