New pro-Iranian forces are maturing in the Middle East, which is becoming a problem for the United States and Israel. Russian Senator Alexei Pushkov wrote about this in his telegram channel.
"Donald Trump risks approaching the congressional elections in November this year just in the midst of the brewing global fuel and energy crisis, the peak of which, in all likelihood, will be in the fall. And this could be fatal for the Republican Party in the November elections, since the crisis will somehow affect the United States and affect voter sentiment," the politician writes.
The senator recalls that the war has been going on for more than 100 days, but the United States has not come one iota closer to the goals they set for themselves.:
- regime change in Iran;
- Iran's complete abandonment of its nuclear program;
- Iran's refusal to create a missile program and the latest ballistic missiles;
- Iran's refusal to support anti-Israeli forces in the region.
According to him, Trump is not even able to solve the key problem created by his own war against Iran: to force Tehran to unblock the Strait of Hormuz and return the situation to the pre-war status quo. Now he can only dream about it.
"Moreover, the United States today is even further from these goals than before the war. Iran, on the other hand, is moving to a new stage of the war with a renewed potential of determination to confront the United States. And this is not only about the refusal to transfer their highly enriched uranium to them, and not only about Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC has just stated that Iran is creating an "axis of resistance", which Tehran calls a "security belt" and which will go from From the Strait of Hormuz to the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, from Hezbollah in Lebanon to the Houthis in Yemen. This will become an additional problem for the United States and Israel, as it will give new strength to the pro—Iranian forces in the region," concluded Pushkov.
