The "Truth for the Moment" Trap: The Iranian Threat Has Not Been Removed - and Israel Is Dragged into a War of Attrition
Reserve Brigadier General Zvika Haimovich warns that half a year after Operation "Roar of the Lion," the Iranian threat has not been removed and Israel is being dragged into a war of attrition. Iran has rehabilitated its capabilities, launched missiles toward Jordan and US bases, and hardened its positions. The author argues that Israel has lost its independence and the decision rests with Trump, whose interests differ.
Half a year after Operation "Roar of the Lion" and the declarations about the destruction of Iran's nuclear capability, Reserve Brigadier General Zvika Haimovich argues that the Iranian threat has not been removed and Israel is being dragged into a war of attrition. The article cites political statements by Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz about an Iranian acceleration toward a bomb, but claims the reality is different. According to the author, Iran has rehabilitated its military industry with Russian and Chinese assistance, launched 11 and 18 ballistic missiles toward Jordan and precision missiles toward US bases, and hardened its positions in negotiations. The author warns that Israel has lost its independent decision-making capability, and the decision on action rests with President Trump, whose interests (the Strait of Hormuz and oil prices) do not necessarily align with those of Israel. He calls for not normalizing a reality of a "round" of fighting against Iran every six months.
