After the Iranian attack that hit the Israeli territory on Friday evening causing three victims and over eighty injured, The tension in the Middle East has returned to very high levels. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the aviation of the Jewish state is ready to “fly over Tehran’s skies” and hit “every site and every goal of the Ayatollah regime”. “Tehran will burn if he continues to launch missiles”, the Minister of Defense Israel Katz has rescued, while the IDF – the Israeli defense forces – confirmed that Iran has now become “the main battlefield” for Israel, relegating Gaza to the “secondary” theater, while reiterating that the priority remains the liberation of the hostages “in the shortest possible time”.
According to Israeli sources, in raid At least twenty high Iranian military commanders would have been killed in the last few days. The attacks would also have affected a sensitive area near the residence of the supreme guide, Ali Khamenei, as well as the presidential complex. In the midst of the crisis, Netanyahu said that the current military operation has the “full support” of the US president Donald Trump. In a greeting message sent to Tycoon for his 79th birthday, the Israeli premier underlined: “Our enemy is your enemy. We are in front of a threat that, sooner or later, will concern everyone. Our victory will also be yours”.
On the diplomatic front, the Iranian question was at the center of a long telephone interview – which lasted 50 minutes – between Trump himself and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Kremlin made it known that the Russian leader expressed “firm condemnation” for Israeli military operations and “profound concern” for a possible escalation, which would risk having unpredictable consequences on the entire Middle Eastern framework. Putin reiterated the availability of Russia to mediate between the parties in conflict.
Meanwhile, it was officially The Round of interviews on Iranian nuclear power is canceled Domenica in Oman is scheduled. The news was confirmed by the Sultanate Foreign Minister. The decision was motivated by the head of Tehran’s diplomacy, Abbas Araghchi, according to which “negotiations with Washington are not justifiable” in the light of Israeli raids, attributed to “direct support of the United States”. A position shared also by the Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian, who called “illusory” the idea that Iran can take part in negotiations “while the Zionist regime continues to hit our country”.
There military response of Tehran It was not long in coming. The Iranian army has announced that it is ready to launch “2,000 missiles” against Israel, threatening a “more powerful” attack than the previous one. “The continuous Zionist attacks – Pezeshkian warned – will be welcomed with an even harder and more decisive reaction”. Tehran also guarded the United States, the United Kingdom and France from providing military support to Israel. According to sources of the Iranian media, Iran would be ready to hit the foundations of these countries in the region if they intervene in favor of Tel Aviv.
In an attempt to report diplomacy in the center, the French president Emmanuel Macron had a telephone interview with Pezeshkian, inviting him to return “as soon as possible” to the nuclear negotiations table. “An agreement is the only way to avoid a new escalation,” said the Elisha. Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has made it known that he has ordered the movement of military resources in the region, including combat aircraft.
Despite the external safety, the Iranian regime shakes. It is still early to talk about regime change, but Israel’s offensive could trace a furrow. The action of the Jewish state is aimed at affecting the structures of Iranian theocratic power. Not only does the nuclear program, but directly the heart of the Islamic Republic. This time it could be the impatience of the Iranian elites, such as to “favor” the Mossad in the elimination of different leaders of the armed forces. In short, there are those who bet on the end of theocratic power.
Of course, we should also take into account the possible chaotic scenario in the post-ayatollah, but it is impossible not to emphasize the internal fragility of Tehran. After the protests of 2022 followed by the death of Mahsa Amini, the Islamic Republic had to face a crisis of deep consent, repressed with thousands of arrests and hundreds of deaths. Popular anger has not passed away. On the contrary, new military humiliations risk reactivating dissent. In addition, Iran’s ability to influence the area would seem weaker.
At the moment it is impossible to make predictions. The fall of the regime is a hypothesis, as well as the return of Iran to full offensive ability, with the concrete threat of new regional conflicts. Updates will follow …
