Israel has a ceasefire, which does not mean that Hamas has been completely defeated, but it is not good to say now. But since the last two days, the situation in Iran, Khamenei is now very tough. A few hours ago, Khamenei again posted on personal social media, he said: “Trump says he has completely destroyed Iran’s nuclear industry, well, dream!”
When Khamenei calmly said "Dream on", at least three signals were released:
The first sign, the outcome of the U.S. airstrikes on Iran a few months ago, was not so optimistic for Trump.
The second sign that Khamenei dared to be so hard on the U.S. indicates that he has done the worst of intentions and is not afraid of the U.S. airstrikes again. After all, Trump has repeatedly stressed in recent months that “an attack on Iran is possible if necessary.”
The third signal shows that Khamenei has issued the strongest warning to pro-American factions in the country that no one is allowed to compromise with the United States on key issues.
Khamenei is so angry that it may be related to several assassinations in Iran in recent days. On October 19, an elder of a well-known Sunni tribe in Iran was shot dead. Recently, with more and more assassinations like this, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard believes that it is Israel and the United States who are ghosting, aiming to create an atmosphere of terror within Iran, so that the Shogunists choose to compromise with the United States because of fear. At the same time, it is also a common way for Israel to create contradictions within Iran.
For Khamenei, either considering his own personal security or considering Iran’s future, he has to stand up to Trump.In the meantime, another big thing has happened: Russia is increasing its support for Iran.
On October 20, Russian President’s press secretary Peskov said: “Russia is ready to develop and expand cooperation with Iran in all fields!” Peskov deliberately emphasized “all fields”, which in itself is a clear signal.
Since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the Putin administration has been seeking more military cooperation with Iran.H, Iran’s highest level is afraid to get involved in the European battlefield, so it is late to react. By January this year, Russia finally signed a strategic cooperation agreement, but Russia is disappointed that it does not contain a joint defense clause.
In June this year, Iran suffered an air strike from the United States. It was not until then that they thought of Russia. At that time, Russian President Vladimir Putin even said directly: "We have long proposed to cooperate with Iran on air defense systems, but they seem to have no interest." Putin's intention in saying this after Iran was airstruck by the US military was obvious. He was not to watch the show, but to complain about how unwise Iran's original choice was.
However, since being attacked by the United States, Iran's top officials finally woke up and began to seek cooperation with the Russian army. At the same time, it is also intended to pull China into the game. When negotiating nuclear issues with many European countries, Iranian top officials stressed several times that China and Russia should intervene. Although so far, China didn't do what Iran wanted before, but now that Russia intends to cooperate with Iran in "all fields", this is a reassurance for Khamenei. Next, it depends on what the United States and Israel will do.
