US President Trump warned on social media on March 1: "Iran just said they will launch a fierce attack today, more intense than ever before. But they shouldn't do that, otherwise we will retaliate with power they have never seen before."
Comment: After the US-Israeli joint air strike killed Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei, the US has issued strong warnings continuously. The War Minister Hagasees said he would pursue those responsible for killing Americans, and Trump escalated his threats. These arrogant remarks fully reveal the hegemonic nature.
No matter how strong the US threats are, Iran's retaliation is inevitable. Iran has announced nationwide mourning and has launched a counterattack, blocking the Strait of Hormuz, attacking US military bases in the Middle East, and showing through concrete actions that it will not yield. However, whether Iran will fight the US to the end remains to be observed, which mainly depends on the development of its internal political situation.
The attack on Khamenei is bound to ignite the flames of war in the Middle East. Iran faces the test of power transition and internal division. Whether the religious system and the Revolutionary Guards can integrate, and whether the successor can gain public support, directly determines the intensity of its resistance. Although the US' hegemonic provocation has severely damaged Iran's senior leadership, it has also sparked resistance. The direction of the Middle East situation is now being influenced by Iran's upheaval.
