Tehran's 'proxy' strategy failed, Iran has significant disadvantages - expert
Jerusalem Post ^ | August 6 2024 | MAARIV

Iran expert Jaber Rajabi said that Iran has not managed to achieve major goals despite its extreme declarations.

Experts on Iran told Saudi Arabia's Al Hadath news channel on Monday that they believed Tehran's strategy of unifying different fronts against Israel has failed since October 7.

Iran expert Jaber Rajabi said that Iran has not managed to achieve major goals despite its extreme declarations. Rajabi pointed out that Israel possesses advanced military equipment, including fifth-generation fighter jets and advanced defense systems, that can efficiently address any Iranian threat.

While Iran and its allies have formulated military plans in recent years against other, less advanced adversaries, going head-to-head with Israel is a different matter entirely.

Rajabi explained that the IDF has extensive experience in various wars. Meanwhile, Iran and its proxies rely on guerrilla warfare and irregular conflicts for their training. He also noted Israel's relationship with the US, a global superpower.

Conversely, Iran is suffering from severe economic issues and is preoccupied with dealing with neighboring countries. Additionally, Iran does not enjoy strong international support due to previous conflicts, and even China and Russia tend to avoid intervening in these conflicts, according to Rajabi.

Israel has also demonstrated superiority in carrying out covert operations that have reduced the power of its adversaries, while Iran's attempts to target Israeli objectives in third-party countries often fail, according to Rajabi.

Tehran has one disadvantage. The trillion dollar US military that Bibi commands. I will commend Netanyahu on the 100 standing ovation declaration of war he got in the U.S. Congress. In that respect, he has been more constitutionally correct than our other leaders dating back to FDR.

We keep pumping money to the mullahs and giving free PR to Hamas and Hezbollah.

You again?!? At least you’re taking responsibility for the IDF baby murderers. I didn’t want to bring up the IDF broom handle rape of Palestinian hostages. But since you are so proud of those perversions, go ahead and talk about it. Didn’t you go to Gaza to get in on the massacre of innocents or were you there for the broom handle action? I assume you’re back because the war is about to become a peer war against armed and trained men.

I dream of a day when civilized Persians parade with mullah heads on pikes.
