Qasim Soleimani was an important military and political individual, not just in his own country, but also in the Middle East.
I want to remind us of global repercussions of General Soleimani’s death.
- The rise in oil and gold prices.
Gold – is one of the most sought after goods during the era of turbulence.
International experts claim that they do not forget possible price increase in oil and gold if the tensions continue in the Middle East. But, also, they emphasise the notion that markets during previous geopolitical tensions likewise recovered quickly.
- Attacks and vengeance within the region – the Extent of Terrorist Groups
The death of General Soleimani presents a drastic escalation of conflicts at the lowest scales which has been going on for years between the United States and America and Iran. It is likewise perceived as an act of international terrorism.
However, the USA, alongside their supporters, such as Israel, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, hold onto the dangerous strategy of spreading and financing powerful terrorist groups such as DAESH, the Islamic State, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram (…) to further attack countries which helped out Iran in international humanitarian collaborations, after their own great endeavours to establish peace in the region. Similarly to that is the case of Venezuela – as the main ally of Iran within South America – the United States through their attacks and fierce blockages imposed on this Caribbean state also create havoc and violence with armed groups brought from Columbia, whose purpose is to kill the president – Nicolas Maduro, and to cease control over Venezuela’s immense mining mineral riches.
- Threatening with WW3: War between Iran and the US.
The death of General Soleimani will emphasise a very unstable and tension-fused situation in the region already marked by warfare and political tensions. The intentions of Trump’s administration have always been rotten, to surround and attack those countries which are his ‘stumbling rock’, and to take measures which involve interventions and violent plans in Iran.
However, being acquainted with the ally-formation: China-Russia-Iran, and with power that these three Asian countries wield, we can see that the US are in their own state of tension, because they very well known that such a tripartite alliance could formulate WW3, which is not quaint at this moment. Regardless, the world has to be careful with the arrival of Joe Biden onto his own presidency; we await his position on the relationships between the US and China, Russia, and of course, Iran.
