Dr. Dan Diker: Iran 'trembling with fear' of Israel, expects 'eternal war' to continue

Primary source Internal intake · 2 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 07:47

TL;DR

International relations expert Dr. Dan Diker assessed that the Iranian regime is 'trembling with fear' of Israel and the IDF, arguing that despite US efforts, the ongoing conflict is expected to continue. He said Iran fears one actor in the world — the State of Israel and the IDF — and that Israel's success is the regime's deepest fear because they know what Israel can achieve militarily, cognitively, and strategically.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Dr. Dan Diker, an international relations expert, made the assessment in remarks circulated Thursday morning. He argued that the Iranian regime's fear of Israel is central to its strategic posture, and that despite US diplomatic efforts, the prolonged confrontation is likely to persist. Diker's comments echo his earlier analyses, including warnings that Iran seeks to drive a wedge between the US and Israel, as The Zioneer reported in recent weeks. The remarks come amid ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran, with no sign of de-escalation on the horizon.
