In the attack of the "Islamic state" on the parliament and the mausoleum of Ayatollah Khomeini in Tehran, there is nothing surprising: Iran - the main ground enemy of the IG, the choice of the target was predictable. This is not the first and not the last action of revenge on the part of extremists, who, as a result of Iran's actions, have suffered heavy losses in the same Syria.

"There are different estimates of who is fighting more on the ground against the IG - the official army of Damascus, or the Shiite militia and the groups that control Tehran. Iran is fighting on the ground, and the victories won by official Damascus over the past year and a half, the last, frankly, is due not only to the Russian military aviation services, but, first and foremost, to the military instructors of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and groups of instructors fighting Iran. They made a very serious, significant contribution to the victories of the official Syrian army. It is clear that Iran is perceived by the opponents of the official Damascus as a uniquely hostile force, "said political analyst, head of the department of Central Asia and Kazakhstan of the Institute of CIS countries Andrei Grozin in an interview with" Morning ".

In addition to Tehran, Moscow is similarly perceived by the same power and capital, which never left the "agenda" of terrorists. Until the Russian parliament, of course, they will not get, and in general, Moscow is considered the most secure in terms of security by the European metropolis. But to relax and rest on their laurels is not worth it, the analyst believes: terrorists will seek to strike any loophole. Moreover, the terrorist act is in a protected megalopolis for extremists - a special trophy that affects both "orders" and "investments", and in place in internal "ratings".

In the risk zone - transport systems, metro, crowded people, mass events. "It seems that carrying a backpack with explosives in Moscow is more difficult than in Brussels or Paris - our special services have learned to build elementary cordons. But another thing is the factor of the terror of loners. If a person has conceived in his inflamed brain to blow himself up in a crowd, it is unlikely that something will stop him. As the mayor of London, Sadik Khan, the terrorist attacks - "an integral part of life in a big city", no matter how cynically it did not sound, "- said the expert.

At the same time, special services - including Russian ones - do stop a large number of terrorist attacks, which citizens learn after the fact and do not pay special attention to it, the "UTRA" interlocutor emphasizes,.

At the same time, observers note, there is an interesting coincidence: it cost Katara a hint of a possible cooperation with Iran (although later the government denied these plans), and the latter, after the outbreak of scandal and the "sanctions" imposed by Qatar against neighbors, Promised to support Qatar with food, how the Iranian capital was immediately attacked.

According to one of the versions, it is precisely on Qatar that now it is planned to hang "paternity" (or "authorship") of the "Islamic State" project - interested forces in the region have. Accusing Qatar of all sins, including the IG, the beneficiaries solve several tasks in one fell swoop. If Iran could be persuaded in the same version (with which Qatar, according to recent events, the "friendship" is progressing uncomfortable for many regional players), it would turn out that the Iranian capital was attacked by the "child" of Qatar.

However, while the Iranians comment on this incident rather restrainedly. Speaker of the Iranian parliament Ali Larijani called the attack on the parliament building "insignificant", but the response to the attack promised "decisive". "Iran is an active and effective force fighting terrorism in Syria. And the militants are simply trying to undermine this work, "he said..

One way or another, there are attempts by some influential players to ignite another additional source of instability in the region, in assessments of the consequences of which analysts so far disagree. Someone talks about the possibility of a serious war, someone believes that the situation will soon settle down by itself, and not without the participation of Americans. However, do not forget that all these events followed just after the Middle East tour of Donald Trump. And it is quite possible that this is not a mere coincidence, observers say..
