Pezeshkian Could Be Iran’s Last Elected President
It is an undeniable fact that Israel will likely advance towards Lebanon and then Syria after Gaza. In a speech today following the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Israel’s religious fundamentalist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated, “We will see the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy.” This prophecy foresees that the land stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates, including areas where Iran aims to establish a Shia crescent with its proxy organizations, has been promised to Israel. Therefore, Israel needs to remove the obstacle of Iran.
The goal of establishing a regime in Tehran that aligns with Israel and, by extension, the West is no longer a secret. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan also said in a recent televised speech, “An Iran-Israel war seems likely, and everyone should be prepared for it.“
Of course, it is impossible for Israel to handle this transformation on its own. It was clear that Israel struggled to deal with Hamas alone. By constantly provoking Iran to attack, Israel is attempting to involve the U.S. and put its plan for Iran into motion. Ultimately, Israel may take the option of launching a unilateral strike on Iran, coercing the U.S. into the war.
How Will Regime Change Happen?
Israel will not engage in a head-to-head conflict with the mullah regime. A conventional army like Iran’s military would make this impossible. Instead, Israel will likely pursue targeted operations and assassinations to eliminate Iran’s most influential figures, including Supreme Leader Khamenei. So far, Israel has eliminated Hamas’s last two leaders, Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and several high-ranking officials of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in this manner. By hitting strategic targets, Israel aims to weaken the regime and allow the rest to be completed by internal uprisings, fueled by groups it supports within Iran.
Among these strategic targets could be key locations that could incite the public to rebellion. Later, a puppet figure of Israel and the West—”most likely Reza Shah, the son of Iran’s ousted Shah Pahlavi”—would land dramatically at Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport as a great savior. Iran’s regime is currently in its most vulnerable phase. In the next article, I will delve into Iran’s internal dynamics and the current state of the regime within the country.
