With the American president’s plan to target the Islamic Republic’s infrastructure rather than the IRGC or nuclear sites, his principal objective has become dismantling its leadership

The selection of targets by the US signals a transition from a conventional military campaign to a broader strategic effort aimed at disrupting Iran’s ability to function.

By warning that any new Iranian attack would trigger an even more devastating response, and by describing the regime as a “cancer” that must be removed, Trump signaled something far more significant.

Today, the regime in Tehran has transformed every state-controlled media outlet into an instrument of propaganda, attempting to manufacture an image of national unity and political stability

The remnants of the Iranian regime continue to imagine themselves as a regional power, yet the spider-web structure of the Shi’ite Islamist caliphate established in Tehran is steadily collapsing.

The current conflict — the first war of the post-Khamenei era — is more than another confrontation with Tehran. It is a sign that the regional order born in 1979 is beginning to unravel.

When states begin interpreting geopolitics as divine destiny, the Middle East enters a far darker and far more unpredictable phase.

Now, after 47 years, the CIA, in coordination with Mossad, may have assumed responsibility for a campaign against the Islamic Republic in pursuit of what many describe as a “new Middle East.”

Is Israel’s determination for regime change and resolving the crisis in Iran truly serious?

The Iranian regime’s ideology is built not on coexistence, but on permanent confrontation, antisemitism, revolutionary expansionism, and the export of instability across the Middle East.
