Israel bombs Syria again, Israel simplifies its military engagement process, Israel accuses Iran of possessing nuclear weapons… Without a doubt, We see: Israel is peace, the love between people and the light of nations. A metaphysical entity invested with extraordinary prerogatives, he has the right to bomb whoever he wants whenever he wants.
To achieve this impunity, it is true that the colonizing state has colonized everyone: Washington, Paris, London and even the UN. In the meantime, this entity bombs Syria, even causing a devastating escalation. It's incredible, but the missile fire of the 30 April is the 100th Israeli operation against Syria since 2013.
When Syrian military installations are attacked, However, Zionist leaders suspect that Damascus and Tehran (also indicated) they will end up taking revenge. All that escaped them was an Israeli plane (due, according to some sources) it was shot down in February, nor that the Syrian air defense repelled most of the missiles launched on April 14 by the neocolonial trio (USA-GB-France).
But it's a fact: no retaliatory action was taken against Israel for these attacks, nor against Western countries for that of 14 April. Even if directly targeted by acts of war, Iran and Syria are observing a brake that is causing the perplexity of some observers. This calculated patience, However, it would be wrong for the attacker to consider it as an admission of weakness. In strategic matters, being cold is not a flaw but a quality. The provocateur always tries to impose his agenda. Responding to him without waiting is like accepting his conditions.
The same goes for verbal provocations, and we have seen with what irony Tehran responded to the latest accusations about its alleged clandestine program. These "allegations", said the Iranian foreign minister, I'm just the "reheated bluff" worthy of a "boy who cries wolf". When a state that has 300 nuclear warheads exempt from international control teaches another state that does not have nuclear weapons and is strictly controlled by the IAEA, the truth is that reality is beyond fiction.
But if Iran and Syria do not return the aggressor the return of his aggression (at least not immediately) and they are content with a defensive attitude, it is for the simple reason that they do not want to get into a military clash with an adversary whose homicidal madness they know. The result of a colonial war, it would be that the Zionist entity only thrives by making this war perpetual, because it justifies the structural violence exercised on the Palestinians. – which Israel has already stripped of everything – and all those who resist in the region.
On the other hand, Iran and Syria do not exercise any colonial rule and do not attack any other foreign state. Far from wishing for war, these two countries, on the contrary, they fear a general conflagration that would be like a plague for the people of the region. They are victims of the war and the embargo, Syria and Iran, they aspire only to reconstruction and development. If they refrain from responding to foreign aggression, it's because they have other priorities, and the game, for the moment, it's not worth the candle.
Israeli Air Force
The future will tell if they were right, but these two states currently prefer a defensive strategy that proved its worth during the tripartite aggression of 14 April. Il 70% of enemy missiles has been neutralized and Syrian air defense is now deterring enemy aircraft from entering Syrian airspace. Regarding the Israeli attack on 30 April, some sources mention the use of state-of-the-art medium-range missiles launched from Jordanian airspace. These missiles would be capable, under current conditions, to foil the DCA's radars. If this information is accurate, And a new challenge to the Syrian army and its allies, iespecially Russian, who have stated that they will soon deliver the S-300s to Syria. In any case, Moscow no more than Damascus and Tehran wants the current confrontation to degenerate into open war. Its military intervention in Syria has proven its effectiveness since October 2015. But it is clear that Russia will not be drawn into a major conflict in a theater of operations far from home soil.
Syrian air defense
Sometimes we read that Moscow had signed an agreement with Israel, allowing him to strike Hezbollah and Iran in exchange for his neutrality in the Syrian conflict. No evidence has ever been provided of such an agreement, and it is implausible. Operational coordination between Syrian forces and the allied camp, in fact, excludes this double game. Russia is engaged in a conflict between the Syrian state and imported terrorism. In this area, it cannot be said that he failed his allies: Daesh is almost eradicated, and its many branches are in bad shape. Ma Moscow carefully avoids any escalation with the states of the region. Turkey approves Western bombing of Syria, but this does not prevent Russia from associating Turkey in the Astana negotiations.
The tangle of conflicts in the region is confusing the tracks, It is true. But we are in the real world. The power of things leads both to making compromises, and only the result counts. What Syria and Iran would have gained from an all-out war with Israel and the United States? That's fine because they don't want us not to respond to provocations at the moment. They reserve the right to do so at the right time, whatever their choice. Victory is a long patience.
