US reduces the threat of the Islamic State (click here)
This is the ridiculous nature of the Iranian regime and their IRGC proxies. Iran uses foreign criminal entities to basically take pot shots at the Free World and it’s humanitarian efforts to contain terrorist threats.
This defense of US assets in Iraq and forward positions in Syria is necessary to continue to manage the continued threat of the reconstitution of the Islamic State. The Islamic State is a threat to the entire region including all the countries that border on the Mediterranean Sea. The regional threat by the Islamic State includes Iran. The purpose of the US military in the region is to stabilize the region and protect life. Yet, to Iran the hate of the USA is greater than the fear of reconstitution of the Islamic State. It is an amazing reality and one that begs the question, “Does Iranian leadership have control of its IRGC and Iranian proxies?”
The USA is in the region to basically maintain “the peace.” Yet, because Iran’s hatred of the Free World is so out of control it cannot discern it’s own best interest in our presence. The USA operates on military intelligence and not emotional dogma seeking revenge or control of propaganda. The entire Iranian focus and actions defy logic or even the integrity of a sovereign country.
As any IDF soldier would say, “This is the Middle East.” That basically means the lack of sovereign control over individual jihadists provides for a dangerous chaos that threatens regional stability. It is the bizarre religious fervor since Arafat going forward that is used to support hatred as a motivating force to cause fear of an otherwise hapless leadership.
