As tensions rise with increasing reports from Western and Israeli media regarding potential conflict between Iran and the United States, the narrative surrounding regional developments has once again taken center stage in global media and political circles, particularly in the occupied territories and the U.S.
In addition to the provocation from some Israeli and American think tanks advocating for military action against Iran, several Hebrew-speaking and Western analysts assert that any military initiative will not yield the outcomes anticipated in Tel Aviv and Washington. They argue that pursuing military action against Iran is fundamentally flawed. The Hebrew newspaper Haaretz reported:”A military strike on Iran currently lacks any clear objectives or exit strategy.”
The Hebrew-language website elaborates on the reality regarding Iran stating: “The United States is deploying forces to the region and preparing for war although regional countries are attempting to persuade Trump to avoid such a course and show no interest in collaborating with the U.S. on this attack. Even if an attack occurs the overthrow of the Iranian government is not guaranteed. Furthermore even if such an event were to occur hypothetically there is no viable alternative force on the political horizon capable of taking over the governance of the country.”
Previously The New York Times in an interview with Israeli security experts indicated that Israeli national security analysts express skepticism regarding Reza Pahlavi’s ability to garner significant support domestically citing his lack of experience charisma and meaningful base within the country.
The New York Times further noted that former Israeli military analyst Citrinovich stated that Reza Pahlavi’s meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu and the ongoing support from Israeli officials linking the idea of regime change to Israel’s broader strategy concerning the Islamic Republic of Iran represents a major mistake. This has contributed to alienating parts of the demonstrators and opponents of the Islamic Republic within the country from him (Reza Pahlavi).
He concluded by emphasizing: “There is also little chance of Reza Pahlavi returning to Iran as most Iranians do not wish to be ruled by another dictator.”
