Conflict Of Interest - Middle East Asia A New Conflict Zone Between Iran And Israel, Saudi Arabia

Iran is turning out to be a new threat to world peace. The current regime of Iran's main target is Israel, which is a friend to the USA and India. Iran is hell-bent to prove her as a new talisman for Islam and reduce the influence of Saudi Arabia from the Middle East. Iran is the only nuclear power nation in the Middle East. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iran violated the nuclear agreement of July 2015 by increasing the limit of enriched uranium. Economic sanctions weigh heavily on Iran. Oil exports which are jugular veins of Iran's economy are drastically affected by the sanctions. The Iranian currency liar lost its value against the dollar. Inflation surpassed the 35% mark and has an adverse impact on the normal life of Iranians. Economists predicted that by the end of 2021, the contraction of Iran will reach a dismal 10%. Ayatollah Khameini's regime from the word goes stated that Iran's nuclear programme was meant for peaceful purposes. World leaders, the current regime of Saudi Arabia and Israel sceptic of Iran's nuclear programme. World leaders consider Iran a hidden threat to world peace and was choked by the nuclear deal between the P5+1 and Iran. During the 1950s, Iran's nuclear programme was assisted by the USA. Later the USA separated itself from the Iranian nuclear programme due to the sudden emergence of the theocratic political wing Iranian Revolutionary Party to the power. Russia replaced the USA and assisted Iran to establish several nuclear power plants. Iran can not match the military might of Western countries including the USA. Neither Iran has trained an army nor modern weapons. Iran's current regime believes in subversive tactics to gain modern arms and weapons and spreads terrors to the terrain of rival countries. Iran simultaneously modernized its armed forces and brought modern weapons from erstwhile superpower Russia to bolster the defence.


Conflict Of Interest - Israel V/S Iran


Israel and Iran have been involved in the internecine conflict for the last three decades, since 1988. Iran supports Bashar-al-Asad, the president of war-torn Syria. Israel conducts multiple attacks on Syria, to damage the proxies of Iran. The massive attacks targeted 18 positions in Syria, dealing a major blow to the Iranian installation. The butt of the Israeli attack on Syria is to reduce the Iranian influence. Asad's victory in Syria will provide a springboard to Iran to launch attacks on Israel from the soil of Syria. Iran increased its presence in Lebanon and Palestine to jeopardize the very existence of Israel. Israel not only targets military installation but the oil vessels of Iran, which proves to be a conveyor belt to supply oil to Syria. Some Western media houses predicted that Israel already prepared a covert plan to strike nuclear installations to stall the proceeding to gain a nuclear arsenal.


Iranian Missile Programme

Iran's inflated missile arsenals are the cause of concern for Western and neighbouring countries. Iran exploits its space programme to produce intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear-capable missiles to hit arch-rivals Israel and Saudi Arabia. With the help of ballistic missiles, Iran can reach all parts of the Middle East and Southern Europe. Iran and North Korea are in close cooperation to boost their capabilities as missile states. Iran carried out multiple attacks on ISIS posts to avenge the later attacks on Tehran. In January 2020, Iran launches missile attacks against US troops in Iraq to avenge the killing of Iran's revolutionary army's commander-in-chief Qasem Soleimani. The attacks failed to create any ripple.

Conflict Of Interest - Iran V/S Saudi Arabia

Iran and Saudi Arabia contested against each other to become the chieftain of Islam. Islam originated from Saudi Arabia and the regent of Saudi Arabia claims to be the protector of Islam. Iran follows the Shia stream of Islam tried to spread its tentacle all over the Middle East. Syria becomes the new battleground for Iran and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia failed to contain the Houthi Militia in Lebanon supported by Iran and the recent debacle in Syria, dent its influence in the Middle East. Now Saudi Arabia comes in close proximity with Israel to suppress their common enemy Iran. Now Iran needs to deal with Israel and Saudi Arabia simultaneously. Which would be an uphill task for Iran with its slithered economy.
 Conflict of Interest Between USA and Iran

The USA and Iran do not share a candid relationship at the current time. For both the countries, Middle East becomes a new conflict zone. Both the USA and Iran want to dominate Middle-East Asia to control the oil-rich region. During the 1700s USA and Iran enjoyed a friendly relationship. During World War -II Soviet Union and the UK both were allies of the USA attacked Iran failed to dent the relationship between the USA and Iran. The relationship between the USA and Iran took a dip during the 1980s due to the sudden emergence of the Islamic Revolution in Iran. The USA administration declared Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization on 8th April 2019, due to the latter continued support to the extremists of Iraq, Afghanistan and Middle-East Asia. Kata'ib Hezbullah launched an attack on the K1 military base in Iraq on 27th December 2019 which resulted in the killing of a US civilian contractor. Kata'ib Hezbullah is a Shi'ite terrorist organization in Iraq supported by IRGC. The US conducted an airstrike on the base of Kata'ib Hezbullah in Iraq and Syria on 29th December 2019 which killed 25 militants. Kata'ib Hezbollah retaliated by burning the embassy in Baghdad on 1st  December 2019. The US dealt a telling blow to the power would be of Iran by killing IRGC General Qasem Soleimani on 3rd January 2020. Later Iran carried out a missile attack on Al-Assad airbase without any casualties.

Democracy v/s Theocracy
                                                                                                                                                
Iran is in a crater, which can explode at any time. Economic sanctions impact the normal life of common Iranians. The recent student movement is just the tip of the iceberg. Theocratic rule suffocated the majority of the Iranian population. Democratic polity and the adult franchise is the only solution to the ongoing crisis. External pressure will melt down the residual strength of theocratic rulers. After the demise of Suleiman, the theocratic rulers in Iran are in vulnerable positions. The tremendous mass movement will be potent enough to destabilize the current theocratic regime of Iran and let the fresh breeze of democracy flow through the beautiful landscape of Iran.

The victory had fortified the emerging Jewish state, which most of the Arab nations consi...

Conflict Of Interest - Us And China

Image
In the 21st century, the USA is the only superpower in the world. No other country has a superpower tag like the USA. Financial superiority and unmatched military power turned the USA into a numero uno in the world. It is unimaginable for other countries to match the magnanimity of the USA. A Few decades back,  the situation was quite different. During the 70s, we had observed the clash between the two superpowers, one in the USA and the other is the USSR, the United States of Soviet Russia. One believed in capitalism and the other trusted Communism. There was a third front, named Non-Aligned Nations, which maintained equidistance from both superpowers. The scenario was quite different before the advent of the second world war. England and France were the superpower and Germany was an emerging power. That was the period of colonialism.  The Germany had conflict of interest over Britain and France during 1930-40.

Joe Biden and Donald Trump share different points of view related to China. Post decimation of Russia, China emerged as a new competitor for the world's only superpower US. According to US intelligence China poses the biggest threat to US interest. China's present regime expects more favourable behaviour from the US. On the other hand, the US tried to build an international coalition against China. US-China relation is strained due to a couple of reasons. The US blames China for the deterioration. For the last couple of years, China has lowered down the value of the yuan to gain an upper hand over the US. The South China Sea turned out to be a new conflict zone between the two superpowers. The US sent two aircraft carriers to the South China Sea to maintain a close vigil over China. Till now nothing has worked for the US. They failed to dominate China. The US needs to depend on old conventional policy and build a coalition with its old allies like the UK, Germany, France, Japan...
