A post on a subscribed channel contends that as long as Israeli or US strikes do not hit Iranian national infrastructure or senior officials, the message to the ayatollah regime will not get through. The commentator argues that the current strikes are not having the effect many desire.
This commentary, published on a subscribed channel monitored by The Zioneer, argues that the current wave of strikes against Iran is failing to achieve its intended deterrence effect because it avoids targeting national infrastructure and senior regime figures. The author contends that without such high-value targets, the message to the ayatollah regime does not get through, and the strikes are not having the impact many desire.
The post adds to a broader debate about the effectiveness of military action against Iran. As The Zioneer has previously reported, other analysts and former officials have offered assessments ranging from calls for restraint to arguments that Israel has not hit Iran hard enough. Earlier reports noted that the US and Israel have conveyed messages to Iran about the terms for de-escalation, and that Israeli assessments predicted Iran would not launch direct missile retaliation.
The commentator's view represents one perspective in a polarized discourse. No official confirmation or rebuttal has been issued in response to this specific post.
