Member of the Executive Body (GM) of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), former First Deputy Minister of Defense Artak Zakaryan writes: “The US Armed Forces announced that they will resume the naval blockade against Iran from today. It was noted that the entry and exit of ships going to and leaving Iranian ports will be blocked. The safe navigation of only those ships that will not violate the blockade requirements (of course, money, fee) will be ensured.
At the same time, according to The New York Times, President Trump has officially informed Congress about the resumption of military operations against Iran.
After these statements of the US President and the Armed Forces, oil prices increased by 8%.
Iran also has its plans of actions aimed at resistance and protection of interests. The countries that will cooperate with the USA against him have already been announced as legal targets. US-owned facilities in neighboring countries are targeted.
At the initiative of France and England, the leaders of 25 countries, within the framework of the “coalition of the determined”, have gathered and are discussing the issues of supporting Ukraine against Russia, resisting further actions, and defending against more powerful ballistic and strategic strikes.
The President of Russia promises to strike Ukraine several times more powerfully.
Along with the new regional escalations, Aliyev took ambitious and tougher positions to strengthen his positions in the South Caucasus. From the footnotes of the latter’s statements, it can be seen that the peace treaty with Armenia is not so interesting to him. Azerbaijan sees the developments and its role in it differently.
Clearly, a new phase of regional turbulence is beginning…
P.S.
Does the head of a completely failed government, aimlessly climbing the slopes of Khustup, have the slightest idea of how to cope with the new turbulence that awaits?
