Middle East scholar Dr. Edy Cohen said in a post circulated on Israeli channels that Iran's strategic goal in the escalating confrontation with the United States is to remove American military and political influence from Arab countries, according to the report.
Dr. Edy Cohen, a Middle East scholar, posted a blunt assessment of Iran's strategic calculus amid the current US-Iran confrontation. Quoting his post, Iran's goal is 'somewhat big — to get America out of Arab countries.' The statement reflects a view that Tehran sees the regional conflict as a zero-sum struggle for influence rather than a limited military exchange. The Zioneer has previously covered analyses by other experts, including Dr. Dan Diker and Dr. Doron Matza, who warned of Iran's efforts to undermine American standing in the Middle East and drive a wedge between the US and Israel. The new analysis adds to the picture of a coordinated Iranian strategy that goes beyond the immediate military confrontation.
