Iran is avoiding a broad, direct attack on Israel because it fears Israeli strikes on senior regime figures and institutions vital to its survival, Iran researcher Beni Sabti told 103FM on Sunday.
Sabti, an Iran researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies, spoke with Ron Kofman and Prof. Aryeh Eldad following an Al Hadath report citing an Israeli security source who said that Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was not in the Islamic Republic.
***“The Iranian regime fears our involvement because they know that we are going straight to the center. We are targeting the most important part and focusing on senior officials.
*** Asked why Iran was refraining from launching a broad, direct attack on Israel, Sabti said: “They know that, first and foremost, we focus on individuals, and from our familiarity with them, we truly know how to reach them, as we saw on previous occasions.
“If there are no American restrictions, we know how to do the job. We focus on facilities and institutions that are important to the regime’s survival, such as the Revolutionary Guards’ internal security headquarters.”
*** “Mojtaba, given his physical limitations and while inside the tunnel, what can he really do?”
“The public does not count, neither on this side nor for the Revolutionary Guards,” he said. “The strikes are having an impact, and they were severe. Those bridges are not functioning. They took down 116 communications towers, which is a great deal.
“In southern Iran, where everything is failing and everyone is poor, do you think they built a communications tower for the public? They built it for the Iranian Navy’s headquarters and for the Revolutionary Guards. In Iran’s periphery, no one cares about the public, and, incidentally, they do not care about the public in Tehran either.”

This is what “DETERENCE” looks like.
The Israelis have understood this since 1948.
That is why the code of “DISPROPORTINATE RETALIATION” is the name of the game.
The West has yet to understand this and the Middle Eastern mentality.
I saw it. They don’t want lose it all..

*******************
The West is superior in every facit of civilization compared to the “Middle Eastern mentality.”
We don’t need to ‘learn’ anything from Israel, we need to isolate, ignore, & remove ourselves from the stupidity that is par for the course in that shithole region.
There is another possibility... They don’t have anything left that can fly that far. Their weapons supply has diminished to the point where they can’t actually retaliate all that much. Iran huffs and puffs... But they are pretty much done. The US is attacking them daily and they really can’t take much more.
All the mullahs and IRGC are not dead yet. They can take more and should. This is to be today’s FRIslam support thread? They will all be here to say we still live in 1945 with 1945 tech and some other 1945 country held out until...they didn’t. Have a nice day.
Unfortunately, a lot of Gen Z knows nothing to little about either event.

That is a very ignorant statement. How are we to defeat the enemy if we don’t understand them? He didn’t say mimic or incorporate their ideas, but to understand their mentality so as to know how to defeat it.
Just do it.
Forgiveness is almost always easier than permission.

Indeed.
There is something seriously wrong with this scenario.
Iran is afraid of Israel.
This is the way to modify behavior.
Well that means the strategy works. Don’t mess with Israel.
They, and Trump, need to make the same promise Trump did with Afghanistan during his first term - “Kill one of our citizens and you and your whole bloodline will be erased”.
Hard to isolate when they call us the great satan and have ICBM’s to back up their threats.
Unfortunately “Operation Linebacker II” seems to have been erased from US corporate memory. Richard Nixon knew how to get the attention of capricious negotiators. We’re just bouncing rubble.
