TEHRAN – After 16 months of relentless warming in Gaza and Lebanon, Israel continues to seek violence and mayhem. However, this time, with the help of one of the most pro-Israel regimes in recent American history, the regime appears to want to take a much more dangerous step in attacking Iran’s nuclear sites.
Recent Western media reports, particularly from the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post, have revealed allegations of plans by the US and Israel to target Iran’s nuclear sites this year.
This coincides with a series of active threats from prominent US and Israeli officials.
US national security adviser Mike Waltz repeatedly echoed, “All options are on the table.”
Convicted war criminal Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu bravely declared his intention to “finish the work” to Iran.
President Donald Trump has made many inflammatory remarks about “bombing hell from Iran” and “bombing.”
He also emphasizes that Iran should abandon its nuclear program.
His recent presidential memorandum, which reinstated the greatest pressure on Iran, stated, “It aims to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and missiles, but has imposed severe economic sanctions targeting Iran’s oil exports. , with the aim of reducing them to zero.”
The directive also calls for cancellation of sanctions exemptions that provide economic relief to Iran and attempts to isolate countries that affect relations with neighboring countries.
Some analysts argue that these measures are intended to encourage Iran to come to the negotiation table with Trump.
In contrast, others should note that Trump’s strategy is to put pressure on Iran first, and if that doesn’t lead to compliance, his resistance to coercion is Tehran’s right choice I believe that.
Resistance to Tehran pressure
Iran has made it clear that it is not willing to negotiate under pressure. President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi have stated clearly that Tehran will not succumb to external threats.
National officials reiterated that even if they weren’t seeking war, they value national security above all else and are ready to stand up to the threat.
General Mohammad Bagheri, chief of staff of Iran, recently said, “If Iran’s security is threatened, security throughout the Southwest Asia region, unstable perpetrators and their supporters will be confused and seen peace. It won’t be.”
Speaking to the journalists during the IRGC’s Great Prophet 19 training, General Bagheri emphasized that the Islamic Republic’s army was ready.
“If an enemy mistake occurs, those who participated in the tranquility of the Zionist regime and its equipment and operational plans will be at risk,” he said.
Referring to the Israeli regime’s October 2024 strike and its failure, he said: “Iran’s air defense is the highest level of preparation and minor damage has been completely repaired.”
Bagheri adds that Iranian forces are fully prepared for both defensive and offensive operations, and missile production continues uninterrupted with very large volumes and quality.
A statement from the top general follows a warning from Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRGC Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the catastrophic response will follow a strike at Iranian nuclear site: “We are in the region Fires that are ignited are unquantified measures and ranges.
Iran’s previous operations showcase power
Last year, in response to Israeli invasion, Iran demonstrated Tehran’s power and resolve and implemented True Promise I and II.
The true promise of April 2024 marked the first direct attack by Iran on Israeli status in the occupying territory, targeting a variety of military facilities.
In October 2024, True Promise II involved around 200 ballistic missiles targeting Israeli air bases and areas near Tel Aviv, showing Iran’s ability to attack and defend its sovereignty.
“Attack on Iran that is harmful to everyone”
Iranian officials and commanders repeatedly vowed that if a bigger war breaks out, the country’s response would be swift and decisive.
They also show that the outcome of the war against Iran will reach all of Western Asia.
From sophisticated missile systems to well-trained troops, we can assume that Iran has important tools and capabilities that it has not yet utilized.
But no one is certain what Iranian plan is, or what the Iranian commander would expect, Inferno, would look like.
In an interview with the Tehran Times, West Asian expert Alireza Majidi delved into the potential regional consequences of the conflict between Tehran and Tel Aviv.
According to Majidi, “In Arab countries and Turkey, there is a growing belief that there will be no winners in the war between Iran and Israel and only losers.”
He warned that such conflicts could lead to capital flights and economic losses throughout the region.
Majidi discussed his perceptions of Iran’s role in the region, saying, “Some people may have recently seen Iran as a manageable player.”
He also observed that this could lead to miscalculation, and some thought “If Iran is trapped, Israeli invasions may not encounter weak or reactions from Iran.”
However, he insisted that “it is clear that Iran is not underestimating the integrity of its territory.”
