Possible answer: Elimination of the IRGC general may lead to the appearance of Iranian nuclear weapons

276

The world media is discussing the possible development of events after the American strike on the car with the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. “Military Review” provides a small overview of the assumptions that experts in different countries of the world are building about the prospects for this event.

A major German publication, FAZ, released material entitled Three Scripts for Counterattack. In it, the editor of the politics department Rainer Hermann writes that the spiritual leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei, has already promised "severe harsh retribution of the United States for acts of aggression."



Hermann writes that so far, Iran has tried to avoid a direct military confrontation with the United States, as well as the United States with Iran. But now the situation can go a different way.
From an article by Rainer Hermann:

Iran can mobilize its militias against American partners and allies in several countries in the Middle East. These are Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Shiite police units in Iraq and pro-Iranian units in Syria. For example, if they attack targets in Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates, the United States will need to provide assistance (based on agreements). But then the Arab states will also have to wake up from their lethargy.

Another option considered by the author in FAZ is the application drones. An example is the strike on Saudi Aramco facilities in Saudi Arabia. Iran is blamed in the West for the strikes, although it denies any involvement.

Hermann:

With these blows, Iran “cut off” half of the oil production in Saudi Arabia, which corresponds to approximately 5% of global demand.

The German expert writes that if the attack is repeated, then Riyadh may turn to the Russian Federation with a request to urgently deliver S-400 systems. At the same time, Riyadh will ask the United States not to impose CAATSA sanctions against him, since the complexes are required "immediately to protect against Iran." And the United States, as the author writes, is unlikely to have an argument for objection to this.

Another possible Iranian move that Western media is writing about: blocking the Strait of Hormuz. This will lead to an unprecedented 70st century oil shortage and skyrocketing prices for "black gold". At the same time, it may even be beneficial for Trump, because then dozens of American companies engaged in the production of shale hydrocarbons will come out of oblivion. At prices above $ 80 per barrel, shale oil production becomes profitable, and at prices of XNUMX and above it will bring extra profit.

Experts in East Asian countries, responding to information about threats from Iran by retaliatory measures against the United States, believe that Tehran’s toughest reaction will be the final suspension from any obligations under a nuclear deal.

This could ultimately lead to Iran’s creation of its own nuclear weapons. In turn, if the United States does not prevent this, such a result will be a complete failure of American policy and Trump's fatal strategic mistake: eliminating the IRGC general can generate what the Iran and the United States most fear about the Iranian nuclear bomb.

        Yeah, but in Russia, the S-400 complexes stand directly and are waiting for Riyadh to ask them. But nothing that there is not a weak queue for them?

          There are enough cases in history when, at a BIG request and a double, or even triple price, a manufacturer country supplied complexes from its Armed Forces. But here I think that if Riad turns to us, it will not be quick. While our specialists study the situation there, while the Saudis are trained, enough time will pass. Faster they will have "Shells"

              If Iran makes an atomic bomb, Israel will get the US to attack Iran. The Jewish lobby in the USA is very strong. And the atomic bomb is a piece product, you can’t quickly get them stuck on the conveyor. Maximum, a couple of pieces will be at the beginning of the war. And it is likely that Israel will know where they are, and the war will begin with a blow to the area.
              Iran will not test its atomic bomb. Although he will be threatened to do so.
              The most adequate answer would be blood for blood. That is, to increase support for the Houthis and Hezbollah. Moreover, to carry out an "anti-terrorist operation" on the territory of the United States itself.
              Reconciliation is more active with Iraq (although they fought for a long time, but now the enemy is common, we must put up with it)

                IRAAN was one of the first to divide IRAQ on religious grounds.
                Hussein uprooted all dissent trying to make Iraq a united nation, sparing neither Kurds nor Shiites. neither Sunnis, nor Alawites.

                Nothing like this will happen. Iran is torn apart by internal problems and everyone understands this. But we would have to think about how easily the Americans pulled it off. It took about 3 days to make a decision, develop and operate. No big words. They just did it. And if our people again make statements that "this is impossible, it violates the norms of international law ..." This Lavrov, with his international law, has actually died. The next such victims may be generals in Syria. We saw that the United States also has those. equipment and political will. The right of the strong. Whoever said what.

        Preparations for launching ballistic missiles have been observed in Iran.

        According to information sources, Iran has begun preparations for the launch of ballistic missiles. This is evidenced by the abnormal activity at the launch sites, as well as the presence in the country's airspace of a large number of fighters, which may indicate that in the next 24 hours Iran could strike a massive blow at the location of American military bases and facilities throughout the Middle East.

                          No, just sorting the chain like that. in Venezuela, it didn’t take control to take, some of the OPEC countries are in ruins and chaos, some still have a voice, Qatar and Ecuador left OPEC. Iran, bypassing sanctions, still sells oil, and if this triangle burns, then we can talk about eliminating OPEC and then we can forget about controlling and regulating oil prices, because the United States is already in first place in oil production in the world. and most importantly, China and Europe will suffer from high prices. and then you can repeat the trick with the USSR

When the Nazis wanted to make them look like military formations, it turned out that they could not fight at a word at all and were only fit to burn peaceful villages, kill women and the elderly.

                          Whose experience and how much is this - "recent years" should give me an answer to your reasoning? Let me explain: I usually form an answer in the process of reasoning, since they are started for the answer. In general, comparing the level of threat between village arsonists and martyrs is somehow not correct ... for a farmer in the Kuban, so probably Ukrainian Natsiks are both more real and more terrible, but for a soldier at a checkpoint, so surely a martyr ... ? If we compare - then they are one and the same and are called in one word - the enemy, and the reasoning which of them is more repulsed and who is less - will lead to Kolya from Urengoy, in the end ...

            Yugoslav will not work. Persians are now much more monolithic. And they are unlikely to surrender as quickly as the Serbs. Again, the technological level of the Iranian military-industrial complex is higher than that of then Yugoslavia. The Persians are accustomed to sanctions and it is unlikely that the Americans will be able to drop their standard of living on the Maidan.
            The United States, of course, can defeat Iran, but it just won’t. The advantage of mattresses is that they can use the Saudis, Israel and their allies in the database. None of the lower forces in the region have enough ground forces. So - there will be an exchange of blows. I think the Persians are ready for him. And without a ground invasion, war is unlikely to be fast.
            In principle, we can try to benefit. If the Persians defeat the At Tanf base, then no one will be surprised. Again, if they block the movement of mattresses into Syria and back.

                Well, the Americans can organize the unrest - there, even in the PRC, they succeeded. But under the conditions of an external threat, they are unlikely to be able to rock Iran. And of these separatisms, most exist in the form of conversations. The IRGC has long learned to speak with Kurds. Epic with Kirkuk witness to this. Of course, Azeri in Iran seems to live more than in Azerbaijan, but I don’t remember any speeches, not chatter of the intelligentsia over the past 20 years. If Chekhragani posed any danger, the IRGC would have got it. I don’t remember any really serious separatist actions in Iran over the past 20 years.
                In general, most of these separatists are not dangerous. We had a bunch of them all over the country. In order to turn them into something serious, you need an organizational center, systematic work, resources and weapons. Again, the IRGC is quite capable of paying off any of their performances.
                But on the contrary, the IRGC is quite capable of arranging its counterparts on hot days. Hezbollah to Israel, the Hussites and the Shiite underground to the Saudis. Shiite militias in Iraq - American bases in it.
                We will see. Again, it is worth taking into account the American election. Of course, a small war before the election may be useful to Trump, but a full-blown conflict will not play in his favor.

            No, they can destroy the country, but to win ... This is debatable. They haven’t echoed the Taliban for 19 years, despite the fact that it has no aviation, no fleet, no missiles, no air defense.

                The victory of the Americans in Afghanistan today is not a question at all. This topic can only be considered in the context of the defeat of the Americans. Nowadays, mattresses are more concerned with how to get on skis and get out of Afghanistan with the least military and reputation losses. If until recently they were close to being able to negotiate with the Taliban, now, after the assassination of Suleymani, it is not at all a fact that the Iranians will let them do it on their terms and will probably use their ties with the Taliban so that the mattresses suffer the greatest losses. The fact that in 2019, in Afghanistan, the Americans lost only 20 soldiers, will seem to them flowers. Would sit at home

                    You are probably hinting that the Taliban and the Ishilovites will trample within your specified limits? There are two points. The first is that the Taliban leadership at one time made a statement that it has no interests in the North outside of Afghanistan and the second is that the Ishilovites for the Taliban are the same invaders who, if the Americans leave, they will clean up very quickly. There are from 3 to 4 thousand pieces. The US-Igil incubator that they prepared in Afghanistan for the purposes you indicated will be closed.

This is evidenced by the abnormal activity at the launch sites, as well as the presence in the country's airspace of a large number of fighters, which may indicate that in the next 24 hours Iran could strike a massive blow at the location of American military bases and facilities throughout the Middle East.

        Since April 16, 2019, the United States has officially considered the Iranian militant organization, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, a terrorist organization.

      US actions are destabilizing the situation in the Middle East. And the Trump administration clearly did not take into account that Iran is not Syria, in which they frolic with impunity for more than a year. Suleymani, by the way, is considered in his homeland the “father of victories” over ISIS * terrorists in Syria. A terrorist organization created, armed, and funded by the Americans.

      Trump’s order to liquidate General Suleymani in Tehran was perceived as an attack on Iran. Even Israel, whose insolence knows no bounds, did not dare to swindle at this. It is likely that Trump is thus preparing for the upcoming elections, planning to organize his “victorious war” and move on to a second term. A stupid undertaking and obviously a failure.

      All that the Americans have achieved is angered Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei, who promised to avenge the States for the assassination of the general. President Rouhani has confirmed that the Americans will pay for it.

      Five years later - maybe. But not tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Iranians must either restore the number of old-type centrifuges (IR-1), or start mass production of newer centrifuges. but in any case it’s not a single month’s business, and maybe not even one year’s

      Quote: Andrey from Chelyabinsk
      I apologize for being rude, but did the star-striated ones get completely insane ?! On the territory of a third state to eliminate a high official of a foreign country? And do not even try to portray repentance (like: the special agent was mistaken, they planned to kill the superterrorist, but they killed the general, our condolences to the family and friends, etc.) ?!
      M-d ... What can I say? If the Lord wants to punish anyone, he destroys the mind.

      What to do, Andrey. If there remains one superpower in the world, then complexes of permissiveness begin to manifest in it. And most often sober voices are not heard. Although of course God forbid if it begins. Moreover, the countries of the region will begin to participate in this fire.

      Quote: Basarev
      If Iran has a bomb, then it will simply be arranged for another Opera operation, without waiting for the appearance of carriers. And at the same time they will remember all the other tricks and will not forgive anything.

      Opera makes sense if there is no bomb yet. If there is a bomb (God forbid, that this was not), then they already have carriers

      Be that as it may, the Persians are making n ...... very nervous. Indeed, in fact, they are not ready for war, and aircraft carriers and tomahawks will last only for a week, after which the undercut American infantry in Iraq and Syria will have to be transported for a lot of money laughing

      And how long will Iran last if a serious mess starts? Or again, how during the Iran-Iraqi boys will be sent to minefields? The Americans have enough Tomahawks. At least Iran. It is not a problem to bring aircraft carriers to the entrance to the Gulf of Oman and gradually move as the Iranian anti-ship missiles are destroyed in the Strait of Hormuz. And there are allies for the coalition
      The Iranian army is large, but equipped with a mass of various weapons, which does not add strength to its potential. And non-contact methods, the Americans will break it. In a month, two or three - but they’ll break it. Or there will be the same generals as in Iraq during the last war.
      Aviation is a team hodgepodge of the mid-80s, and often not modernized. Fleet - several ships such as a frigate and a destroyer, which should be able to defend themselves. There are many "Mosquito Fleets", but their performance characteristics are extremely low. The only thing that will get to the neighbors is from Iran's missiles. At the first stage. Then the hunt for launchers will begin. And taking into account the fact that the number of launchers is limited and the number of missiles is many times less (the North Korean scheme for building missile forces), swotting with missiles will not last long. Moreover, a limited number of missile systems will reach Israel ...

And if the Americans do not immediately climb into the bay, and they are hardly stupid enough to do this, then forcing these boats to leave the base once, they can put a big and fat cross on them. especially considering where such a base is located.

      Well, this is easier said than done. After all, the same mosquito fleet is focused on more than one naval base. Therefore, it will not work to destroy it with one or two missiles. Unless they will be with YaBG. But the USA does not have such "Tomahawks" now. And cruise missiles with nuclear warheads on strategic bombers ...

      Comrade! It is unlikely that Iran's mosquito fleet will be targeted by Tomahawk-class cruise missiles. The Americans have no strains with the CD. It was here that someone wrote that they were straining with the Tomahawks, but not me. The mosquito fleet is now dispersed over several bases, and during a period of tension it will generally "dissolve" at a dozen bases, parking lots, and piers. After all, a boat with two anti-ship missiles with a flight range of 15 km is not a destroyer that just can't be put at any point. Therefore, the most likely situation is when the Americans will have to "chase" the mosquitoes with aircraft (airplanes or helicopters). You can strike at the base not with 1-2 missiles, but with a dozen. But what will be the effect of such a blow. That's the question. Of course, for some time, both the mosquito fleet and the coastal anti-ship missiles will be knocked out, but not immediately. The primary goal will still be the Iranian air defense ...

      As you may have noticed, I am not at all in favor of the use of nuclear weapons in this region. But to destroy the base with 1-2 missiles is possible only if they are with a special unit. And fortunately the United States has very few such missiles and they are mainly on the B-52. I don’t really imagine the situation when the B-52 goes hunting for a missile boat in Iran

Its task is to provoke Iranian authorities to some kind of military stupidity in the region against the United States. Then the United States and Israel will launch large-scale missile attacks on Iran, its military and industrial infrastructure, bases, ports, warehouses and command centers. No direct invasion of the country. This is exactly the scenario the United States has chosen and are preparing for it. Eliminate Iran from the political and military scene once and for all.

Cleaning from impurities, both chemical and mechanical, is a very difficult task.

      Such tricks of the States will only force North Korea even more strongly to hold on to the possession of nuclear weapons, and Iran will most likely speed up the work as much as possible. I think creating an “atomic bomb” the size of a train car is no longer a problem for the Persians, the problem is creating a warhead for their missiles. If the Persians succeed, then the US tricks in the Middle East will end there. And if they don’t have time, then in the worst case scenario - attacks by the States and Israel, both we and the Turks will have problems, between us there is only the Caspian Sea and Azerbaijan, which are smaller in size than most of our regions, the Turks have a common border with Iran - refugees, etc. will overcome these distances and territories in an instant.

      The only thing is that the world silently chose not to notice the murder of the Iranian general by the Americans.
      And Iran’s response will cause a lot of condemnation in the UN and will practically give the United States a free hand in terms of a military offensive against Iran.

      I think this incident will definitely spur Iran to create its own nuclear weapons and how it doesn’t matter (they will buy it themselves or buy it. Yes, at least there will be enough dirty heels for the area. Further, the activation of pro-Iranian proxies against the states in the area is likely. Well, blocking the Gulf is already a 100500 war tomorrow, but If it doesn’t come to this, leaking information about one’s own nuclear weapons and its carriers will be enough for people to leave it behind.

      In Yemen, somehow it was not very successful to fight the mosquito fleet, just by some miracle the USS "Cole" did not go to the bottom

      Did you fight? It doesn't take much intelligence to knock out a transporter. Yes, and they knocked out EMNIP from coastal complexes. But for some reason the Yemenis do not fire at cruisers and destroyers. Don't know why?

      Quote: Avior
      If the Americans have air superiority, the mosquito fleet will not last long, they will knock it out as they go out to sea by helicopters

      And it will happen, Sergey. Look at the composition of Iranian combat aircraft? A hodgepodge that is 40-50 years old. Although there are quite a lot of air defense systems, they are just a hodgepodge. And the Americans showed 30 years ago how they deal with the enemy’s air defense system. and then... Hawkeye in the sky and helicopters on the free hunt

      but it won’t come to that - leaking information about one’s own nuclear weapons and its carriers will be enough for people to leave it behind.

      Unlike North Korea, which is “closed” to inspectors, Iran cooperated with the IAEA until 2015 and everyone is well aware of its capabilities. Therefore, leaking information about the presence of their own nuclear weapons will not yield results. And to sell - hardly anyone will decide to take such a step. Pakistan, for sure. Pakistan is more likely to sell a bomb to the Saudis than to Iran

      Trump is a fool, he thinks that killing Soleimani will increase his rating in the upcoming elections. And the elimination of himself by the Democrats, followed by blaming Iran for this action, would be the ideal completion of this combination with a continuation, like with September 11th.

      I bet on the USA. They will "roll out" Iran according to the "Yugoslav" model

      They won’t succeed ...

      In terms of a missile and bomb war it will work, but holding on to ground forces in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan is unlikely. Not to mention the occupation of Iran. True, the possibility of a color revolution cannot be ruled out.

      They can. But it will still need to be delivered to the goal. Iran has almost no aircraft capable of delivering it to its target. The superiority of aviation in the neighboring is multiple. Use a rocket for delivery, so the MS is very small, plus what kind of blasting method to use?

      But a cargo ship under the Panamanian flag will dock in Haifa. And what about the fact that a month before that he was in Abadan, although this is not necessary. And explode, obscuring isotopes of half of Israel. and that’s it ... And no regular delivery vehicles are needed.
      You can also blow up a container or a truck. Goal for fiction is cunning. bully

      There may be a dry cargo ship, but it’s hardly worth thinking that it won’t be checked outside the port area. especially if the tension increases. And the explosion of a “dirty” bomb will lead to the fact that, with a clear conscience, the same Americans will be able to target Iranian targets with low-power charges. So to speak, in "revenge"

      Quote: Sergey Mikhailovich Karasev
      Minus, you have to understand, for giving the Persians the idea of ​​delivering a dirty bomb to the target?

      Don't pay attention to the negatives. I was asked a question about Iran’s submarine fleet, and for my answer, in addition to 4 pluses, I also received 4 minuses. Probably the adherents of Iran didn’t like what I said that such boats have zero efficiency and are essentially “kamikazes”

      Don't think that he is that much. Yes, he acts like a bull in a china shop, but he tries to work for his rating. And there will be forces that will support him, even if he starts a war. And if, moreover, the military operations are successful for the United States, we can immediately say that he will surpass the Democrats and take the seat in the BD for the second time.
      His (physical) liquidation is a death sentence for those Democratic leaders who give such an order. It’s not so easy to do it in such a way as to liquidate it and blame everything on Iran. This may turn out to be "sewn with white thread." To actually build such a conspiracy, it takes years and elaboration of the smallest details, even minor and tertiary ones.
