First, it must be emphasized that, day after day, the economic hardship caused by the US sanctions imposed by the #Trump administration is increasing for #Tehran, confirming their effectiveness.3/17 #USA #Iran #IRGC #Israel #Iraq #Syria #Russia #KSApic.twitter.com/xdsfdUmI0s

Second, it should also be emphasized that since last September, when #Tehran attacked the Saudi #Aramco facilities, did not make any new military action that would lead to pressure on #Washington to lift these sanctions.4/17pic.twitter.com/HDgBzsEiiP

The Iranian administration concluded that striking the Gulf allies of #Washington, Saudi Arabia, and the #UAE, is not enough to change the current equation between them and the United States of America.5/17 #USA #Iran #IRGC #Israel #Iraq #Syria #KSApic.twitter.com/9YCHgu2uFI

Hence, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards have placed a number of targets in front of #Khamenei, to be the next, on top of which is striking #Israel through #Syria, or #Iraq or #Lebanon. “Syria was chosen”.6/17 #USA #Iran #IRGC #Israel #Iraq #Syria #KSApic.twitter.com/bgW3aY4eWv

Based on that, Failaq al-Quds, led by General Qassem #Soleimani, began sending the necessary equipment to carry out an attack across Syria towards the Israeli north, including drones and ballistic missiles, through the #T4 military airport in central #Syria.7/17 #USA #Iran #IRGCpic.twitter.com/YvqPefCLRW
However, Israeli intelligence managed to stop the plan before it occurred by targeting both the #T4 Airport, the Damascus Airport and weapons warehouses in Aqraba area.8/17 https://twitter.com/evacool_/status/1208874734370377730 … https://twitter.com/evacool_/status/1208868475290181632 …https://twitter.com/evacool_/status/1208859364402114562 …

These attacks were followed by Israeli messages confirming that Israel will strike #Iran directly if it came under attack through #Syria and that #Hezbollah militia would be ended in any upcoming war.9/17 #USA #Israel #IDF #IAF #IRGC #Iran #Iraqpic.twitter.com/MXqUcElC4Q
On a quick visit by Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs Javad Zarifi to #Oman, #Tehran sent a message to #Israel stating that #Iran does not want confrontation asking the removal of #Hezbollah militia from the equation.10/17 #USA #Israel #IDF #IAF #IRGC #Iran #Iraqpic.twitter.com/GXIDu6tsgS

In this way, #Iran was forced to search for another target in order to change the current equation with Washington, so #Iraq was chosen and thus #Kirkuk attack came.11/17

For now, #Tehran will work through its arms in #Iraq to pass a resolution through the Iraqi parliament to push the American forces out from Iraq and consider them an occupying force that must be resisted.12/17 #USA #Iran #IRGC #Israel #Iraq #Syriapic.twitter.com/CBpi2SdY1b

Therefore, #Washington will be faced with three options: The first is to withdraw from #Iraq, and accordingly, it will open the way for both the #China and #Russia to fill the void there, which is unacceptable.13/17 #USA #Iran #IRGC #Israel #Iraq #Syriapic.twitter.com/1r37j5a4ch

The second option: to face the Iranian lobby in Iraq and thus place themselves in a military quagmire difficult to deal with which most likely will be rejected by #Trump.14/17 #USA #Iran #IRGC #Israel #Iraq #Syriapic.twitter.com/fAfwUNK9g5

Their conditions will be the lifting of the oil sanctions by #Washington as a goodwill gesture, as well as allow the Iraqi government to use force to end the October Revolution in Tahrir Square in #Baghdad.16/17 #USA #Iran #IRGC #Israel #Iraq #Syriapic.twitter.com/tP1lFsF6lC

Of course, the scene is complex and may take another course, and the situation may go towards further escalation, but the reality and previous experiences confirm that everyone will eventually choose the table and negotiate.17/17 #USA #Iran #IRGC #Israel #Iraq #Syria #IDF #KSApic.twitter.com/ibyGM1j5rQ
