As the U.S. and Israel continue their acts of genocide against Palestinian and Lebanese innocent women and children all in the name of Zionism, the Middle East is bracing itself for an all out expanded war, as tensions continue to rise.
All eyes are currently on the U.S. and their puppet state Israel, as they contemplate their next actions against Iran and Iran’s proxies in the area, and as a military alliance between Iran and Russia appears to be growing, evidenced by the recent meeting between Iran’s new President, Masoud Pezeshkian, and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

‘New Axis of influence’: Is an alliance between Russia and Iran possible?
The first meeting between Vladimir Putin and Masoud Pezeshkian marks new chapter in Moscow-Tehran relations
One of the highlights of the international forum ‘The Interconnection of Times and Civilizations: The Basis of Peace and Development’, held in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, was the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
This was the first meeting between the two leaders since Pezeshkian assumed office on July 30. Russian presidential advisor Yuri Ushakov told reporters that this event was important not only for discussing bilateral issues, “but also for addressing the rapidly escalating crisis in the Middle East.”
Initially, Putin’s first meeting with Pezeshkian was supposed to take place on October 22-24 at the BRICS summit in Kazan.
Iran became a full member of the organization this year, and last month Pezeshkian accepted an invitation to attend the event.
This means that the two leaders will meet again in the coming weeks.
However, the conference in Ashgabat was also significant. Putin expressed his pleasure at meeting Pezeshkian personally and noted that Moscow and Tehran have similar views regarding many global issues.
Iranian media noted that the meeting strengthened the ties between the two nations, despite Western efforts to thwart cooperation between Iran and Russia.
Coincidentally (or not), a few hours after this meeting, it emerged that the EU will implement new sanctions against Iran due to Tehran’s supposed transfer of ballistic missiles to Russia.
Despite the fact that both Moscow and Tehran repeatedly denied the use of Iranian weapons in the Ukraine conflict, and the EU failed to provide any evidence supporting these claims, Brussels moved forward with its decision to impose new sanctions on October 14.
On the day of the meeting between Putin and Pezeshkian, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken also announced new sanctions against 16 companies and 23 tanker vessels engaged in the Iranian petroleum trade.
US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan noted that the new sanctions are a response to Iran’s missile strikes against Israel. (Full article.)
Russia and Iran are already the most sanctioned countries in the world by the U.S. and Europe. They have very little to lose economically with a full blown military conflict with the U.S. and Israel, so their military alliance seems quite natural.
China, on the other hand, stands to lose much economically with a full blown conflict in the Middle East, or anywhere else, as they still depend upon the International banking system and the transfer of funds through the SWIFT banking system, that Russia and Iran do not have access to.
And exports of Chinese goods to the U.S. are still a huge part of their economy.
So what might China do if a full blown war breaks out in the Middle East, as seems inevitable at this point?
They will most certainly move to take back what they claim is their’s in the Pacific, starting with Taiwan.
