Since US President Trump first blacklisted Iran's Revolutionary Guard and formally restarted sanctions against Iran this year, US Secretary of State Pompeo announced on May 2 that some countries would be exempted from sanctions, which means that Japan, South Korea, Turkey, India and other countries would be punished for purchasing Iranian oil. The White House said the move was aimed at reducing Iran's oil exports to zero until Iran changed to comply with the relevant treaties of the Iranian Nuclear Agreement.
Today, the United States has been exerting pressure on Iran for more than four months. There have been two air strikes on oil tankers in the Persian Gulf, and the most advanced U.S. UAV Global Hawk has been shot down by Iranian domestic anti-aircraft missiles. Suddenly, the White House ordered the Lincoln carrier battle group, four B-52H strategic bombers, 12 F-22 stealth fighters and tens of thousands of soldiers deployed in the Gulf region to fight Iran. Fortunately, Trump stopped the order in the last 10 minutes.
Although there is no war between the United States and Iraq, the confrontation between the two countries has escalated, and a little Mars can ignite the war. On August 4th, an amazing scene was reappeared over Iran when an American F-14 plane crashed into the Tangstan area in Bushehr province.
After the crash, the reaction of the United States was particularly strong. The Iranian military did not immediately disclose the cause of the crash. External analysis shows that the F-14 may be attacked by missiles interfered by external forces. At this time, in order to prevent the assault of U.S. F-22 and F-35 stealth fighter planes, Iran highlighted a new air defense system, "Khordad-15" (Khordad-15). According to Iran, this domestic long-range air defense system can intercept stealth targets.
In the face of Iran, there was a sudden outburst. In order to prove that there was no air strike that caused the F-14 crash, the United States withdrew all the F-22 fighter planes deployed near Iranian airspace.
