Trump Acquiesces to Leave the Region

The Middle East is now witnessing the rarest event of the century. Likely, the events today have become more significant than ever in the past four decades due to the depth of strategy in Iran, Iraq and Syria.

Martyr Hajj Qassem Soleimani assassination was expected assassination while he was considered as a major threat for security and an obstacle in way of materialization of the U.S.-Zionist goals in several documents and during the process of imposing sanctions. The diabolic people several times had pointed to Martyr Soleimani’s name and had called for a deal like the JCPOA over the head of him, finally this brave man was martyred on the order of the cruellest man of the time on Friday, January  3 after discovering that Martyr Soleimani was to travel from Damascus to Baghdad. This expected martyrdom which was always welcomed by Martyr Soleimani as well as behind the scene events which may always remain covert for ever has put his name among the alive martyrs as the martyrdom was following him till it happened.His martyrdom may have made happy seditionists and regional despotic and imposed leaders.

I, in this stage and out of courtesy, bow down humbly to this great martyr like what I used to do for other martyrs in the past who used to follow their guru and master Qamar Bani Hashem and his behavior Malik Ashtar. And I believe that one day, the secrets behind martyrdom of Lieutenant General Soleimani will be revealed and in-depth analysis of it is impossible for me and people like me.

The brave measure of the IRGC in missile attack on two U.S. airbases in Iraq, and of course with informing the Iraq government and getting their approval was a trivial heal on a deep wound which had been inflicted on hearts of nations in the region because of savagely terrorist act of Donald Trump, and undoubtedly it will be another dark and indelible point in the crimes of the Great Satan in the contemporary history.

Donald Trump’s reaction to Iran’s retaliatory measure, of course one cannot call it a revenge, indicates an untold decision whose dimensions lie in understanding the ambiguities of these events because after the IRGC’s retaliatory measures, Trump’s new scenario began and he postponed his reaction and press conference to the day after which coincided with burial ceremony of Martyr Soleimani. Trump played a drama in his press conference which indicates the new decision of the U.S. ruling government showing its serious decision to stop paying the cost of presence in the Middle East because he started his speech without ant introduction and with a rhetoric filled with anxiety and said, “As long as I am President of the United States, Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.” He then added, “No Americans were harmed in last night’s attack by the Iranians at the U.S. airbases in Iraq. We suffered no casualties, all of our soldiers are safe, and only minimal damage was sustained at our military bases. Iran appears to be standing down.”

Three points that Trump has mentioned during his speech filled with distress are very, very important. First, the NATO wants to have stronger presence in the Middle East and in my opinion, from now on the U.S. does not want to carry the burden of the Middle East on its own shoulder as Trump said, “Today, I am going to ask NATO to become much more involved in the Middle East process.”

The Second is that he implicitly tells the U.S. military, “The American military has been completely rebuilt under my administration, at a cost of $2.5 trillion.” This means that nobody should expect him to spend for military presence abroad. Above all, it is the third point which is important as Trump talks about the U.S. independence for providing its necessary oil as he said, “We are independent, and we do not need Middle East oil.” This point is more important than the first two which implicitly says that there is no logical, rational, economic and political justification for the U.S. to be stay in the Middle East.

By looking at other parts of his speech we find a fist of rubbish which tries to cover his intention to hide this decision that the U.S. wants to leave the region, to hand over it to other countries and to remain safe from the media attacks.

One can draw conclusion from recent developments that the blessed martyrdom of Hajj Qassem Soleimani as the Supreme Leader has mentioned, the Islamic Revolution has come back on its track of development and depth of its vibrancy and it has boosted this belief that Iran is the main player in the region and ultimately it will lead to the oust of the U.S. from the region.

Either we consider these events as behind-the scene acts and the deal between Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and President Hassan Rouhani or we suppose all those events have happened frame by frame and one after the other, the result is that the U.S. pullout of the Middle East will cause that the whole region smell the fragrant scent of peace and tranquility.
