In recent years, Israel has seized every opportunity to escalate internal crises in regional countries, particularly Iran, to achieve its destabilization objectives. A primary target for this regime is the Islamic Republic of Iran, which, due to its strategic position and role in the ‘Resistance Axis,’ remains a significant obstacle to Tel Aviv’s expansionist ambitions.
Evidence indicates that Israeli leaders have openly acknowledged their intentions to support domestic unrest in Iran, activating terrorist elements aligned with them. Their goal is to replicate the chaos that ensued in Syria after the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government, where military infrastructure was decimated, leading to a fragmented nation.
To clarify the intentions behind Israel’s backing of recent terrorist attacks in Iran, one must reflect on its role in Syria’s destruction. After the December 8 incident and the initiation of extensive airstrikes, known as Operation December 8, the Syrian army lost over 90% of its military assets. Since 2024, Israel has conducted more than 500 airstrikes on Syrian territory, obliterating over 90% of its military infrastructure, particularly defensive capabilities.
These attacks have targeted not only military objectives but also critical infrastructure, governmental centers, and residential areas. Regional officials and even the Syrian Liberation Government have characterized these actions as ‘Israel’s aggression and the destruction of Syria.’ Israel has exploited Syria’s internal instability under the pretext of ‘combating terrorism’ and ‘preventing the Resistance Axis’s influence,’ effectively turning an independent nation into ruins.The destructive approach adopted by Tel Aviv is a model it seeks to replicate in similar scenarios in Iran. Israel’s tactics for creating instability extend beyond Syria, as evidenced by the unrest observed in Iran in recent weeks.
In an interview with Channel 14, a media outlet close to Netanyahu, an Israeli expert candidly stated: ‘When Bashar al-Assad left Syria on a Russian plane, we began destroying Syria’s military infrastructure 20 minutes later. We must do the same with Iran, and I hope the U.S. will do it for us.’
Security analyses indicate that Israel, following its direct aggression against Iran and the failure of the 12-day war, has transitioned from a ‘shadow war’ to an active destruction phase. This includes intelligence operations, targeted assassinations, and efforts to militarize protests, dragging the country into urban warfare.
In January 2026, as terrorist activities linked to Israel’s regime increased under the guise of supporting the Pahlavi group in Iran, Hebrew media reported that Israel heightened its military readiness, perceiving current protests as a ‘real threat to the stability of the Islamic Republic.’ Recently, a senior Israeli military official emphasized to i24 News that ‘no Israeli official should interfere in what is happening in Iran,’ but immediately added, ‘Israel must remain on high alert.’These ambiguous statements effectively serve as a cover for practical support of terrorists and rioters. Media outlets associated with the Zionist agenda explicitly discuss ‘supporting separatist groups as Israel’s secret weapon against Iran.’
Israel’s long-term strategy does not merely focus on temporary instability in Iran; it aims to fragment the nation into weaker, dependent units. Analysts from Western and Arab countries, including Egypt, Lebanon, and Iraq, have repeatedly warned that Israel intends to inflict upon Iran the same fate it imposed on Syria.
According to them, Israel perceives Iran as a significant impediment to its plans, necessitating its fragmentation. To achieve this, Israel maintains a presence along the borders of Kurdistan, Azerbaijan, and Khuzestan, while also supporting terrorists stationed beyond Iran’s eastern borders.
This perspective aligns with claims made by former Mossad officials. Associated Israeli agents and experts have repeatedly justified their actions against Iran’s national security, asserting that a sense of Iranian identity does not exist, but rather, various ethnic groups should be armed, trained, and fully supported to assist in their independence (fragmentation of Iran).In fact, Israel seeks to undermine Iran’s national unity and integrity through promoting ethnic discourse, supporting separatist groups, and engaging in terrorist activities that hijack the legitimate economic grievances of the populace. This strategy aims to pave the way for a ‘mosaic plan for the Middle East.’
Given these actions, Israel should be clearly identified as an aggressive power, a destabilizing force, and a threat to regional stability. This regime, through repeated violations of international law (as evidenced by its brutal aggressions against Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, and Yemen over the past two and a half years), utilizes hybrid warfare (cyber, intelligence, economic) while inciting internal tensions in sovereign nations to create a ‘Greater Israeli Middle East.’
Tel Aviv’s approach towards Iran is merely one example of this destructive strategy: it aims to escalate social discontent, dismantle the economy, and promote ethnic violence, bringing Iran to a stage where it not only loses the capacity to resist Israeli schemes but also becomes a battlefield for proxy wars.In conclusion Israel’s support for internal chaos in Iran mirroring the destructive scenario in Syria aims to push the country towards collapse and fragmentation. Numerous documents and reports indicate that Tel Aviv is willing to employ any means—from direct military strikes to cyber warfare assassination and inciting street riots—to weaken Iran.
In such circumstances national vigilance internal unity and resistance against foreign conspiracies are more crucial than ever. The Iranian community must recognize the depth of the Zionist threat and prevent legitimate grievances from being weaponized to advance enemy objectives. They must not forget historical events and the destructive consequences of conspiracies against regional nations often facilitated by the intervention of Israel and the U.S.
It is noteworthy that the historic rally on January 12 marked by widespread participation from the Iranian populace dismantled the recent Zionist-American conspiracy supported by certain regional countries. As the Supreme Leader stated in his message commemorating the January 12 rally the great Iranian nation achieved something monumental and created a historic day. These massive gatherings filled with unwavering resolve thwarted the plans of foreign adversaries that were intended to be executed by domestic mercenaries.
