The Islamic Republic of Iran, leveraging its precise and powerful missile capabilities along with efficient drone technology, has delivered a decisive response to the regime&#8217;s provocations without deploying forces from its resistance allies in Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon, and other potential regions.Military and intelligence officials, drawing insights from the recent 12-day conflict, assess that Israel may struggle to endure a prolonged and extensive confrontation with Iran. This assessment has sparked significant debate within the Pentagon regarding Israel&#8217;s capacity to withstand such a conflict.Alistair Crooke, a former British diplomat, has reported that there is a fundamental disagreement at the Pentagon regarding Israel&#8217;s ability to sustain itself in a large-scale conflict with Iran. According to him, some U.S. officials\u2014relying on data rather than speculation\u2014believe that Israel may face considerable challenges in enduring such warfare, a conclusion informed by lessons learned from the recent 12-day confrontation.Ultimately these confidential admissions from the Pentagon unveil a harsh reality for Israeli decision-makers: against Iran&#8217;s missile and drone capabilities even without the involvement of resistance forces Israel not only lacks superiority but is also doomed to defeat and collapse in a conflict exceeding the intensity of the recent 12-day war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Military decision-makers at the Pentagon believe that the Israeli regime lacks resilience in the face of extensive Iranian attacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":581,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-palestine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/users\/581"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20143"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20143\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
