A 🧵on #IRGC missile strikes in Iraq’s Erbil, Syria’s Edlib and Pakistan.

1/ The IRGC says they avenged last month’s terrorist attacks in Kerman and Sistan-Baluchistan, claimed by ISIL and Jaish Al-Adl.
As 🇮🇷 saw Israel behind the attacks, it states to have hit 🇮🇱 assets, too. Image
2/ The #IRGC fired 24 missiles to Kurdistan and Idlib.
Four medium-range Kheibar Sheken missiles flew 1,280km.
The missile is designed to reach distances as far as 1,450km.

The Idlib strike was a direct warning to #Israel that Iran’s precise missiles have reached its vicinity. Image
3/ Thirteen missiles fired from #Iran’s Khouzestan and Kermanshah to Jabal Al-Samak in western Idlib, Syria.
The region is said to host Tahrir Al-Sham and Turkistan Islamic Party. They allegedly train ISIL Khorasan (ISIL-K), that claimed responsibility for Kerman double blasts.
4/ Missiles that hit Kurdistan were launched from kermanshah and West Azerbaijan.
The IRGC asserts it pounded “a MOSSAD center”.
But it seems Peshraw Majid Agha Dizayee, the Kurdish businessman whose property came under fire, was killed because of his business activities.

5/ Iranian media allege “Peshraw Dizayee had ties with Mossad”.
We know his main activity was Construction.
I searched a bit more and found that OIL, NATURAL GAS and SECURITY were among his activities, too.
🚩And that brings us to the main point.👇 Image
6/ On November 1, Iran’s leader Ali Khamenei urged regional countries to stop oil and food supplies to Israel. His call fell on deaf ears.
In late November, Raisi cancelled a trip to Turkey, bcz Tehran expected Ankara to reduce business with Israel in the shadow of war in Gaza.
7/Iranian media claim Peshraw Dizayee and dead businessman Karam Mikhail, were killed for their ties with 🇮🇱 Mossad & Dizayee provided logistical support for Mossad agents and activities in Kurdistan.
But the real reason for killing him could be his oil & gas exports to Israel.
7/ IF we consider Houthi attacks on vessels/tankers en route to Israel as part of the strategy to impose oil, gas and food boycott on Israel, then the #IRGC’s strike on Peshraw Dizayee would be meaningful in that context and a part of the broader boycott plan.
Image
Image
8/ Therefore, I see #IRGC’s missile strikes as an initial warning to all oil exporters, specially private companies dealing with Israel, that their assets could be the next target and anytime anywhere in this region, they might come under a sudden attack from sea, land or air.

Analysis
1- Iran apparently used warning & encouragement to force its will on Azerbaijan by persuading Baku into changing the path of the so-called Zangezur corridor.
Azerbaijan agrees to construct part of the corridor not from the Iran-Armenia border but from inside Iran. Image
2- Last week a top aide to Azerbaijan president as well as Armenia’s national security advisor were in Tehran.
They were told that Iran respects Azerbaijan’s right to Nagorno-Karabakh but it also supports the right and safety of ethnic Armenians living in that region.
3- Tehran informed Baku’s special representative Khalaf Khalafov that it is ready to cooperation with Azerbaijan, give it land access to Nakhchivan. Tehran made it clear it sees Zangezur corridor as a stepping stone for NATO’s presence on its border, WILL NOT accept it to happen.

A 🧵 on #Iran-#SaudiArabia agreement:

1- The agreement is a “security deal” and has the blessing of leaders of both 🇮🇷and 🇸🇦: SL Ali Khamenei and King Salman (or MBS).

Iranian media describe Ali Shamkhani first as “Khamenei’s representative” then “SNSC Secretary”
2- The fact that Iranian and Saudi national security advisors -not diplomats- clinched the deal after 5-day intense talks shows they had to settle out persistent disputes. They made the ground and relayed the torch to diplomats to meet, introduce ambassadors & reopen embassies.
3- The trilateral #Iran-#SaudiArabia, #China statement insists on “the two countries’ respect for each other’s sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs of each other”. It mentions a 2001 security deal & a 1998 agreement as the basis for cooperation.

1- Iranian conservatives -specially Majlis- welcome resumption of diplomatic ties with Saudi Arabia.

Keyhan declares the deal has angered pro-West reformist factions (without providing evidence). It says both Tehran and Riyadh made concessions.
2- IRNA quotes Iran’s diplomatic mission to UN as admitting that Tehran has finalized purchase of Sukhoi fighter jets from #Russia. The mission says Iran’s intention to buy Russian jets dates back to late 1980s, reiterates 🇷🇺-🇮🇷 military cooperation not related to Ukraine war.
3- ⬆️ Despite the statement by Iran’s UN mission, some words suggest #Iran already received the Sukhoi-35s from Russia, AND Iranian pilots had training sessions during flight missions with Russian aircraft in #Syria.

**Those reports NOT VERIFIED**
