According to a Washington Post analysis cited by Israeli media, US intelligence assesses that the Iranian regime remains stable despite the loss of senior leaders and military capabilities. The assessment, which had earlier projected that Iran could withstand a US naval siege for 3-4 months, also notes growing internal tensions between pragmatists and IRGC hardliners.
The Zioneer reported earlier today at 06:03 that the Washington Post cited a US intelligence assessment concluding that strikes on Iran have reached a 'dead end' and that Tehran remains stable. The latest report, published by Israeli media, adds that the same assessment includes a May projection that Iran could withstand a US naval siege for 3-4 months before facing a severe economic crisis. US officials are also cited reporting growing internal tensions between pragmatic elements and hardliners in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), whose status has strengthened recently.
