Why Iran Needs to Fuel Middle East Turmoil

We have witnessed over the past four decades Iran’s desperate need to create turmoil inside its own borders and abroad to quell dissent, justifying all measures to achieve this.
Through such a perspective we can analyze the unseen truth behind the events of the June 7th twin ISIS attacks in Tehran. The surfacing of more facts and evidence have raised speculation that this entire turn of events was a scenario blueprinted by Tehran.
Both parties benefited, with Tehran finding pretexts to portray itself the victim of terrorism and to thus justify any and all following actions domestically and abroad. And for ISIS, suffering major setbacks in Iraq and Syria, staging such an attack in the heart of Tehran would be a necessary boost in morale amongst its dwindling rank and files.
Focusing on the needs of the Iranian regime, the aftermath of last month’s presidential election resulted in escalated factional disputes. A resulting domino effect allowed increasing voices of protests in cities across the country, making the ruling apparatus desperate for elevating the security clampdown.
The recent US Senate 98-2 vote levying significant sanctions on Iran have also sounded major alarm bells amongst the mullahs.
Turning the attention outside of Iran’s borders, this regime is seen plunging an already war-torn Middle East into further despair through warmongering. This is especially regarding Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) Quds Force commander Qassem Suleimani has been reported arriving at a location on the Syrian-Iraqi border, accompanied by Iran-associated Iraqi proxy militias, according to Al Arabiya, citing Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency.
As ISIS is losing ground in Syria, Iran is seeking to gain as much territory as possible, while testing the Trump administration’s will to take serious action against its conglomerate of proxy groups busy propping the Assad regime.
