Iran’s Revolutionary Guards captured and detained the Korean chemical carrier ‘Korea Chemie’ and conducted a large-scale military exercise using ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles. It is analyzed that there is a high probability of an armed demonstration directed at the United States.
According to the Associated Press and the official Revolutionary Guard media Sepa News, the Revolutionary Guard aerospace forces conducted ballistic missile launch training and tactical UAV training in the desert of central Iran on the 15th (local time).
First of all, in ballistic missile launch training, the Revolutionary Guard launched a large number of solid-fuel ballistic missiles such as ‘Zulpagar’, ‘Zel’Zal’ and ‘Despool’ at virtual targets. Ballistic missiles made in Iran are known to have a maximum range of 2,000 km. Iran fired a ballistic missile at a US base in Iraq and wounded dozens of US soldiers in January last year when US forces killed Commander Gasem Soleimani of the Kuds Army, an elite of the Revolutionary Guard.
Along with this, the Revolutionary Guard trained to blow up a self-destructive drone by colliding with a target. The AP reported that “the triangle-shaped plane used to attack Saudi Arabia in 2019 and the UAV are very similar.”
This training is expected to begin shortly after US President-elect Joe Biden takes office, and is a strong preliminary training to lead negotiations on the return of the ‘nuclear deal’ (JCPOA, Comprehensive Joint Action Plan ) between the country and the United States, which is expected to begin soon. Analysis. It is “the intention to pressure Biden.”
Iran significantly improved relations with the United States by signing a JCPOA in 2015, at the time of the Barack Obama administration, between restricting its nuclear activities and lifting US sanctions against Iran. However, nuclear development resumed when US President Donald Trump accused the JCPOA of President Obama’s “ diplomatic failure ” and unilaterally withdrew from the JCPOA in 2018 and restored most of the sanctions against Iran that they rose by agreement.
Earlier this month, before Commander Soleimani’s first cycle, Trump America sent strategic nuclear bombers (B-52s), aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines to the Middle East one after another, and Iran enriched uranium almost to the level of weapons. I took a Korean chemical transporter. Even if Biden, the United States and Iran begin negotiating the restoration of the JCPOA, it is generally expected for the time being that it will be difficult to escape the influence of such a nervous war and the encouragement of Iran’s hardliners.
Meanwhile, the Revolutionary Guards captured the Korean Kemi for marine pollution in the waters of the Gulf (Persian Gulf) on the 4th, and 20 sailors, including 5 Koreans, remain aboard the Korean Kemi, which is being held at Bandar Abbas, in the southern Iran.
