#PepeEscobar: State terror attack on Iranian Embassy is an attack on expanded #BRICS & #SCO.

“The state terror attack on #Damascus, which shredded the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Immunity, crucially was also an attack on both the expanded BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO),” says veteran geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar in his op-ed for #Sputnik.

He underscores that Iran is a member of both alliances and closely cooperates with Russia and China. That is why the Russian and Chinese presidents are closely watching the situation and “carefully considering all possible repercussions”.

The analyst stresses that Western politics in the Middle East mirrors the Ukrainian crisis, in which “NATO’s approaching cosmic humiliation”.

However, there are “adults in the room” – Russia and China – who carefully establish the architecture of Eurasian security and will together oppose Western efforts “to slow down the natural course of history”.

The Russia-China partnership is an example of how global politics should be run, he says. Escobar recalls that before launching the special military operation, Vladimir Putin travelled to China to personally explain to Xi Jinping “why NATO/hegemon expansion into Ukraine was totally unacceptable for Russia”.

While the world is torn apart by several conflicts instigated by the collective West, there are skilful and responsible grandmasters of the global chessboard, Escobar concludes. “
What is clear is that the Russia-China leadership, as well as Iran’s, knows full well the dangers roaming the chessboard when the usual suspects seem to go all out gambling everything, even knowing that they are outgunned; outproduced; outnumbered; and outwitted.”
