The death of Major General Qasem Soleimani, Commander of the Special “Quds Force” of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as we have already mentioned, later caused a number of events that in some way affect not only Iran but the whole situation all over the Middle East. It is time to analyze the aftermath of General Q. Soleimani’s death

GEOPOLITICAL ASPECTS OF THE CONFLICT
Victor Hvozd
“Borysfen Intel” has already touched upon the problem of another exacerbation of the situation in the Persian Gulf and the Middle East, which has created a threat of armed conflict between the United States and Iran (Islamic Republic of Iran, IRI) with the involvement of neighboring countries. At the same time, this problem has a deeper character and geopolitical consequences, for Ukraine included, and thus needs deeper analysis

THE QUDS FORCE COMMANDER’S DEATH WILL IN NO WAY WEAKEN IRAN, BUT WILL AFFECT THE SITUATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Vadym Volokhov
January 3, 2020, news agencies of the world spread the news about the death of Major General Qasem Soleimani, Commander of the special “Quds Force” of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Certainly, the blow is quite strong, but in no way will it weaken Iran and in some way will affect the whole situation in the Middle East

ПРОЦЕС ВИХОДУ ІРАНУ ІЗ «ЯДЕРНОЇ УГОДИ» НАБЛИЖАЄТЬСЯ ДО СВОГО ЛОГІЧНОГО ЗАВЕРШЕННЯ
Вадим Волохов
Другий рік поспіль на шпальтах світових засобів масової інформації не вщухає жорстка, направлена проти Ірану та його ядерної програми пропаганда. А на початку вересня поточного року Міжнародна агенція з ядерної енергії (МАГАТЕ) звинуватила Тегеран у недотриманні взятих ним зобов’язань в рамках Спільного всеосяжного плану дій (СВПД), що започаткувало новий етап зовнішнього тиску на Ісламську Республіку Іран. Вкотре США та західні країни з великим обуренням та занепокоєнням привернули увагу світової спільноти до «ворожих дій» Ірану, але при цьому жодного слова про причини, що спонукали Тегеран на такі дії.

Another Round of the Pakistani-Indian Confrontation Roman Kot Since the beginning of this month, relations between India and Pakistan have become aggravated again. On 5 and 6 August 2019, the Government of India repealed the special status accorded to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Indian Constitution. The Parliament of India also passed the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill, which will reorganise the state into two union territories — Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. Pakistan’s ability to influence New Delhi’s decisions on Kashmir is extremely small and is, in fact, limited to appealing to the international community. Given the steps taken by…

Roman Kot While the United States, against the background of the escalation of its relations with Iran, is dwelling on how to get rid of the consequences of another protracted conflict in Afghanistan by withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan, China more and more bluntly demonstrates willingness to fill in this “vacuum”. On the 20th June, 2019, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the PRC issued a statement on the Taliban delegation’s visit to Beijing. At the meeting, Chinese experts discussed establishing a peace process in Afghanistan and combating terrorism. It would seem that the level of such a meeting cannot be considered the highest since it was a working visit. China’s long-standing ties with the Taliban, mainly through the intermediary of Pakistani…
