In addition to the UAV bases deployed in the Middle East and South Asia, the US military has also selected a number of UAV bases in the Asia-Pacific region and Africa, and various types of UAVs are eyeing potential targets: "Global Hawk" can be used for strategic reconnaissance; "Predators", "Predators" are responsible for tactical reconnaissance and targeted killing; "Sentinel" and X-47B carrier-based UAVs specialize in covert infiltration and precision strikes...... The layout of secret warfare with UAVs as the main force has taken shape.

The US military fights a secret war with UAVs, which is nothing more than an attempt to maximize technological superiority. However, the excessive use of drones has also caused problems for the US military. The long-term "accidental bombing" of US military drones in Pakistan has ignited the anger of the Pakistani people. The fall of the US military drone in Iran this time also triggered a strong protest from the Iranian side. Khosari, deputy chairman of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, also warned that Iran would attack all US military bases around the world by force if it was a combat aircraft that intruded into the country's airspace.

And these moves, perhaps even the Americans themselves did not expect, and the "secret warfare" and "two fronts" tactics that they are so fond of have now aroused public outrage Obviously, secret warfare based on drones is likely to provoke wars or conflicts in sensitive areas, and eventually harm the US military itself.

………………………………………………………………

In response to the U.S. attitude on the matter, Iran has made uncompromising-for-tat statements. Suruli said on the same day, "Iran's military science and technology experts are now stepping up efforts to crack the encrypted data of the RQ-170 "Sentinel" stealth drone, and now it has entered the "final stage", and the Iranian side will use the cracked data and information as evidence to sue the United States for invading Iran with international agencies." ”

According to some information released by the United States, it is already possible to know the transmission mechanism of the US military's current UAVs in terms of information control, and some models of UAVs of the US military can transmit intelligence from the air to ground controllers, and the amount of information stored by themselves is limited; Other types of UAVs store a large amount of encrypted information, which is more difficult to crack, while the RQ-170 "Sentinel" stealth UAV is a hybrid type, that is, it can not only transmit intelligence information back to the base control personnel in a timely manner, but also store a large amount of encrypted information itself, so that intelligence analysts can analyze and compare it to prevent anything from being missed in the intelligence.

Therefore, the Iranians are more schadenfreude over the RQ-170 "Sentinel" stealth drone captured by the Iranians when they are so nervous: "The Americans think that their military technology is very powerful, but in fact they can't even control their own planes." ”

Regarding this attitude of the Iranians, Zhang Lan summed up the mood of the Iranians in this matter in one sentence, "The psychology of a typical villain when he is rich has always been looked down upon before, but now that he has finally become rich, how can he not find a chance to show off?" ”

This is true, don't look at the sound of the Iranians' cowhide blowing now, but in fact, only a few high-level Iranian people understand that the RQ-170 "Sentinel" stealth drone captured by them was not captured by their own Iranian skills at all, but relied on the equipment provided by Mr. Will to interfere with the RQ-170 "Sentinel" stealth drone and force his on-board computer system to restart, which gave the Iranians a chance to "show off their wealth". Otherwise, do you really think that the Americans are leading the world, and so many technologies are placed there to look good?

Of course, for the Alice Group, they didn't lose at all, because they got a lot from Iran.

Iran's most resources are, of course, oil, but now Iran, a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, has not been blocked by the United States for its rich oil resources, so Iran can still rely on its rich oil resources to exchange for a wealth of all kinds of materials.

In Zhang Lan's view, as the world's second largest oil exporter, when everyone's eyes are focused on Iran's oil and gas resources, Iran's every move in oil and gas is highly valued by the world, and no matter what he wants to do in Iran, it is not suitable for the idea of fighting Iran's oil and gas resources. …,

Fortunately, in addition to natural gas resources, Iran also has other abundant resources. First of all, Iran has very rich copper resources, with proven reserves of about 3 billion tons and an average grade of 0.8, accounting for 5% of the world's total reserves, ranking third in the world.

In 2004, the 80,000-tonne-per-year Hatunabad copper smelter increased Iran's annual copper production to 280,000 tonnes, including 200,000 tonnes of anode copper. Internationally, copper is known as a true "strategic metal". Although gold has a huge impact on the economic and financial security of a country, it is actually copper, a metal with good characteristics, that has a huge impact on a country's fundamentals and industry, and has always been the darling of the world's industry.

In addition to copper ore, Iran is also rich in zinc ore resources and chrome ore resources, Iran's proven zinc ore reserves are 230 million tons, with an average grade of 20%, ranking first in the world, and chrome ore proven reserves of about 20 million tons. In addition, Iran's iron ore reserves are about 4.7 billion tons, of which the total reserves of the four large iron mines are 3 billion tons, in addition, Iran also has coal resources with total reserves of about 7.6 billion tons.

When everyone's eyes were focused on the oil and gas resources of the Iranians, Zhang Lan had already aimed at a wave of mineral resources that were more abundant than ever.

Zhang Lan remembers a figure very clearly: in 2004, after the 80,000-ton-per-year Hatun Abad copper smelter was put into operation, Iran's annual copper output increased to 280,000 tons, including 200,000 tons of anode copper; In 2005, Iran consumed 4,000-5,000 tons of ferrochrome every year, and all of these expensive ferrochrome needed to be imported, and in 2006, after the annual output of 25,000 tons of Saabziwa ferrochrome plant was put into operation, it not only met the needs of the country, but also had 20,000 tons of ferrochrome for export.

In Article 44 of the constitution, which was originally issued last year, the government immediately began to privatize large mines, and the first mines were transferred to cooperative companies, including the Salceshmai copper mine, the Angulang zinc mine, and the large iron ore and coal mines in Kerman province.

These are the things that Zhang Lan is aiming for, and the result does not live up to Zhang Lan's hopes, perhaps because the privatization of mineral resources has long been brewing in Iran, and when Will proposed the right to mine these minerals, the Iranian government immediately agreed to Will's request after a little consideration...... Perhaps in the eyes of the Iranians, it is really a good deal to be able to use these mineral resources that were originally intended to be privatized in exchange for an extremely powerful ally, and if the United States really intends to do something against Iran in the future, even if it is to protect its own interests, the bosses behind Mr. Will will definitely take action against the United States in order to protect their own interests in Iran, right? Not a lot of words

Isn't the fact that they were able to successfully capture the RQ-170 "Sentinel" stealth drone of the Americans? If the convincing power of the RQ-170 "Sentinel" stealth drone that captured the Americans is still a little insufficient, then there is no doubt that the fact that it was able to successfully shoot down the Americans' F-22 "Raptor" heavy stealth fighter is the best proof of this

Only Zhang Lan was there snickering: this group of lovely Persians, perhaps they would never have imagined what would be brought to them when the Alice Group entered Iran.

………………………………………………………………

The Americans are finally annoyed by Iran's move to save face, especially those military experts who do not know that the United States has not only captured an RQ-170 "Sentinel" stealth drone by Iran, but also shot down two F-22 "Raptor" heavy stealth fighters by the Iranians.

Compared with the concern of the US military and political leaders about the leakage of the plane, the editor-in-chief of the American "Little War" magazine, Robert . Hardik, on the other hand, showed the rationality and objectivity of a military expert. Writing in Foreign Policy magazine, Hardik said, "When you send robots to war, occasional losses are inevitable. ”

In Hardik's view, the lesson that the United States learned from the crash should not be to curb the use of drones, but to develop and deploy more "smart" and "capable" drones, and to take the risks that come with using drones. The C.I.A. has launched a "long and extensive" aerial surveillance operation against Iran, and if drones were stopped because of the crash and manned aircraft were used instead, it would be gambling with the lives of pilots, a move that would undoubtedly limit the scope and durability of the reconnaissance activities. …,

"So," Hardik said, "if the U.S. military deploys unmanned aircraft on a large scale in the future, complex battlefield situations will make crashes commonplace, and the only response for the U.S. government and military is to deploy more drones...... After all, compared to the old wars, where people always died, we already have these 'strong' warriors to die in place of our American citizens. ”

However, the military expert cautioned that drones will be more expensive and technologically advanced in the future, but more and more crashes will be inevitable due to the use of more sensitive components and technologies, and decision-makers will have to accept this risk. If you want to get more benefits from drones, you have to equip more drones.

Of course, we have reason to believe that behind the statements of these American military experts, there must be the shadow of the US government and military, and perhaps they hope to put pressure on the Iranian government in this way to force them to submit.

………………………………………………………………

Following the voice of the American civil society, the US government has also made its own response.

On January 15, US President George W. Bush, who had successfully concluded his trip to the European Union, announced a new news with a high spirited face: "The prescription has achieved a successful result, and the European allies of the United States have adopted a comprehensive attitude of support for the Iran policy of the United States, and according to the collective decision of all member states of the European Union, all allies of the United States, including the United States, the European Union, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Singapore and Australia, have imposed comprehensive sanctions on 143 Iranian companies and 37 individuals. ”

"According to the detailed information we have, of the 143 Iranian companies and 37 individuals, 25 of them are linked to Iran's nuclear program and 120 are linked to Iranian shipping companies."

However, on the question of whether to impose an oil embargo on Iran, George W. Bush expressed his disappointment, "Regrettably, there is no agreement within our EU allies on the implementation of an oil embargo on Iran, which is a very regrettable thing." ”

Yes, even the allies of the United States are not monolithic, and they are not willing to go down the same path as the United States, after all, it is the votes in the hands of their own people that determine the future of this administration, so on the matter of whether to sanction Iran and impose an oil embargo on Iran, only France, Germany and the United Kingdom in the EU are in favor of boycotting Iranian oil, but they have failed to reach an agreement among the 27 countries.

But perhaps in an attempt to appease the United States, its big brother, over the failure to reach an oil embargo on Iran, the EU foreign minister, who accompanied George W. Bush in his speech at the airport, said: "The Council of the European Union has agreed to expand the existing sanctions after investigation, while also working closely with international partners." The new sanctions will severely affect Iran's financial system, transportation and energy, so EU member states generally believe that the punishment of Iran is appropriate and appropriate. ”

………………………………………………………………

The EU Foreign Ministers' Meeting made a resolution on the 23rd to prohibit member states from importing oil from Iran and impose sanctions on the Central Bank of Iran. According to the resolution, the EU prohibits member states from importing and transshipment crude oil and refined products from Iran, as well as providing financing and insurance services for Iran's oil trade.

In the face of the U.S. policy of sanctions against Iran on a global scale, the European Union decided in January to impose sanctions on Iran's oil exports and the central bank, which caused a strong reaction from the Iranian side, and a number of parliamentarians and government officials said that they would stop exporting oil to some EU countries. At the same time, Iran has also launched a-for-tat counterattack.

Nasser, a member of the Energy Committee of the Iranian Parliament. Sudani said on the 25th that the Iranian parliament is considering stopping oil supplies to the European Union, and some members of the Iranian parliament are seeking to pass a proposal according to which all European countries that agree to sanction Iranian oil exports will not be able to buy "a drop of crude oil" from Iran.

The Iranian Ministry of Oil announced on its website on the 19th that Iran has stopped selling oil to British and French companies. As for whether Iranians' oil exports will be affected, a spokesman for Iran's oil ministry, Nikzad Rahbar, said that Iran has its own oil customers and will not be too significantly affected in terms of oil sales.

Immediately after that, the Iranian government officially decided to impose sanctions on those countries that "punished" those countries that wantonly deceived the feelings of the Iranian people, and with immediate effect, Iran decided to stop exporting oil to France, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Greece and Portugal. …,

The oil industry is the lifeblood of Iran's economy. As the second largest crude oil producer in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Iran exports an average of 2.6 million barrels of crude oil per day, of which about 20 is destined for EU countries, mainly Italy, Spain and Greece. France is not a major exporter of Iranian oil to Europe, and the UK completely stopped importing oil from Iran in the third quarter of last year.

Iran currently exports about 2.6 million barrels of crude oil per day. The EU imports about 500,000 barrels of crude oil per day from Iran, with Greece, Italy and Spain being the largest importers of Iranian oil among EU member states.

………………………………………………………………

"Iran is rich in oil resources and is the world's fourth-largest oil producer and OPEC's second-largest oil exporter. Oil is the lifeblood of Iran's economy and the main source of foreign exchange earnings, which account for more than 85% of all foreign exchange earnings, and the imposition of sanctions on Iranian oil exports will hit Iran's economy hard. So at this time, we can take the next step with President Ahmadinejad......" Alice said with a confident smile.

The development of the form was exactly the same as she expected, and this result gave Alice more confidence

On February 11, 2007, tens of thousands of Iranian people gathered in Tehran, the capital, to commemorate the 28th anniversary of the victory of Iran's Islamic **.

Prior to this, the Iranian media had already made extensive publicity, saying that at the February 11 rally, Mr. President would announce a major piece of good news to the population.

Ahmadinejad spoke in Tehran's Freedom Square that day, and it was broadcast live on television.

"In the coming days, the world will witness Iran's announcement of very important and significant nuclear (program) achievements." President Mahmoud. Ahmadinejad shouted into the microphone with emotion, and the voice spread throughout Freedom Square with the loudspeaker arranged in Tehran's Freedom Square, into the ears of every Iranian citizen, and into thousands of households with radio waves, "Iran is scheduled to announce major progress on its nuclear program in the next few days, and vows not to succumb to pressure from Western countries." ”

"If those evil countries, led by the United States, continue to speak to great Iran in the language of force and threats, then we can now tell them a clear answer that great and historic Iran will never succumb to their pressure," said Ahmadi. Ahmadinejad's face was holy, as if he had sent a pious test before Allah, "I, Ahmadi. Ahmadinejad, the current president of Iran, on behalf of me and the Iranian cabinet that I lead, pledge to all Iranian nationals that Iran will not back down on this path. ”

Ahmadi. Ahmadinejad's remarks are equivalent to his vow in front of the people, saying that he and Iran will never succumb to the pressure of Western countries and insist on developing nuclear energy.

Although Ahmadi. Ahmadinejad did not disclose details about the new "achievement", but Iranian officials have previously leaked information through various channels that "Tehran's research nuclear reactor is scheduled to use domestically produced uranium 20 purity fuel plates for the first time by March". Ahmadinejad did not elaborate on his accomplishments, but the crowd in Tehran's Freedom Square erupted in a mountain of cheers.

…………………………………………

When the tsunami cheers sounded in the square, under the arc of an Islamic mosque facing Tehran's Freedom Square in Iran, Will was smiling and watching all this, all this in front of him was directed by him, watching things develop as he had planned, and Will felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

The person standing next to him was the deputy captain of the Iranian ** Guard, Hussein, who had previously said in the media that Iran would never return the RQ-170 "Sentinel" stealth drone to the Americans. General Samir, just this Hussein. General Samir didn't know what was wrong, and the corners of his mouth twitched vigorously. When the distance closes, we can even hear Hussein. General Samir was saying to Will, "Mr. Will, now that Iran's relations with Europe and the United States have reached a worse level than ever before, can you assure me that what you said will come true?" ”。

Will took his eyes off the cheering crowd in the square and turned his head to look at Hussein. General Samir, "Yes, dear General Samir, please take my word for it, for Iran this ending is the best...... You must know that the weapons and equipment that I have provided to your country before this are not the best, but only for you to see our sincerity. ”

Saying this, Will's hand waved down vigorously, with a golden voice in his voice, "Now, Iran has become a very important base for us, for us who urgently need a base, we will never allow anyone or any organization to hinder our development, whoever hinders us is our enemy."

Hussein. Samir couldn't help but be silent, becoming the enemy of this mysterious Will, what the result was, he already knew, even the Americans were not their opponents.
