Russia loses position in the "axis of evil": how Iran beats Putin in the Red Sea

Political reality shows that the "axis of evil" is not as a strong union at all as it may seem, says journalist Orest Sohar. Otherwise, the Yemeni Huts, the faithful servants of Iran, to beat Russian tankers in the Red Sea. Putin's inability to control the situation in the Red Sea and protect the interests of the Russian business undermines confidence in the Russian Federation as a powerful state. Iranian ears are cut behind this. Putin was trapped in his own ambitions.

The desire to dominate the world stage and undermine the Western world order has led to the creation of a complex network of alliances that do not always operate in harmony and predictably. Since the end of 2023, ships have been attacked in the Red Sea. Officially, it is Israel's revenge for surgery in the Gaza Sector, but they are only attacked by vessels that have involvement in Israel or entered the ports there.

In fact, tankers that carry Russian oil, for example, "Blue Lagoon I" under the flag of Panama, struck on September 2, or tankers with the Russians on board, such as Sounion under the Greek flag: Yemeni terrorists even tried to blow it up are increasingly under the blow. scared at the end of August, environmentalists and holidaymakers on the Red Sea beaches.

Hutivit is part of the so -called Tehran proxy of the "resistance axis" - the anti -Israeli and anti -Western Alliance of Regional Armed Forces (which includes Palestinian Hamas and Lebanese "Hezbolla"). Since the end of 2015, they have been controlling most of the northwestern Yemen. Interesting circulation: Iran supplies weapons of Russia and Yemeni Hussites. The tankers with Russian oil are storming, firing them, probably by the same rockets and "Shahmed" that the Russian Federation receives.

And Iran watches all this. Tehran took advantage of the situational weakness of the Russian Federation and returned the situation in its favor: increasing influence in the region, Ayatols gain political and economic benefits. Attacks on Russian oil tankers are not only an economic blow to Muscovy, but also a signal that Tehran can guarantee safety in the Red Sea. Something suggests that the Russian dictator tried to pump his influence in the region somewhere and "caught" the return.

If it is not enough, then more ammunition will get hits and accidentally hit more tankers with Russian oil. It seems that, giving way to China's leadership in that dystopia, the Russian Federation is now forced to defend his right to take a second stage, in particular in competition with Iran: Tehran is interested in creating his network of influence in the Middle East.
