WhatsappWhen Israel pulls off one of the most amazing military victories against Iran in less than 2 weeks, it is due to many factors. One of the factors is certainly military superiority and planning. But perhaps the most significant factor is the victory on the level of clandestine activities against the Iranian regime. This interview sheds light on one banch of the amazing clandestine achievements that feature a brave young Jewish woman.
Iran is a country with a majority of the population that does not support it’s leadership. Most of the people of Iran wish and pray for the day that the clock will be turned back to the days of the Shah’s leadership, before the radical Islamic revolution in 1979. Things were far from perfect back then. Corruption was quite common then too. However, Iran was a Western-oriented country that was becoming modernized more than most other countries in the Middle East. Life in Iran was rather peaceful and prosperous in the 60’s and 70’s. Then, the Ayatollahs took over, and it’s never been the same.
Whether Israel says it loud and clear or just hints, Israeli policy is clearly focused on regime change in Iran – but from the inside-out. Israel has no plans at all of overtaking and occupying Iran in any way. But, anything that Israel can do to influence internal revolt and Western support of the revolt, is certainly in the interest of the State of Israel.
Even after Israel’s massive bombardment of Iran that was followed up by the B-2 bombers of the United States finishing the job with tremendous precision and explosiveness, Iran’s leadership is still in the mindset of rebuilding their missile threat. The only thing that will eradicate the threat altogether is when the Iranian people will stand up and revolt against their radical Islamic leadership. This will probably only happen from within the ranks of the military. But even that is hard to imagine.
The key now is to go back to crippling Iran via economic sanctions that threaten Iran from the inside. Just as the Soviet Union fell apart due to a combination of internal Soviet corruption coupled with the economic prowess of the United States, the Iranian government may also be a candidate for an internal fall from power. But this requires sustained pressure over years, perhaps beyond the next few years of the 2nd Trump administration. Only then will Israel see the largest domino fall in Israel’s decades-long battle for safety and security from it’s Middle East foes.
