The war of consciousness against Iran begins with what the regime tries to hide

The article presents a grim picture of the situation in Iran: water and electricity shortages, severe inflation, collapse of civil services, a food security crisis, a shortage of medicines, and non-payment of salaries to public sector workers. The author, Lt. Col. (res.) Amit Yagur, argues that Israel should place this reality at the center of its war of consciousness against the regime, as a potential trigger for its overthrow from within.

The article, by Lt. Col. (res.) Amit Yagur, argues that Israel should focus its war of consciousness against Iran on the harsh daily reality of its citizens, rather than on general slogans. The author details a series of crises: severe water shortages (dam levels have dropped below 50%, and in Tehran to about 25%) and planned electricity and water outages of 4-8 hours a day; severe inflation, with the price of a simple notebook soaring by 1,000% and backpacks becoming hundreds of percent more expensive; a food security crisis due to a shortage of fuel for agriculture; about $3 billion lost with financial intermediaries; a shortage of medicines, including for oncology patients; and non-payment of salaries to public sector workers (municipalities, teachers, nurses, and police) for 3-8 months. It also describes increasing oppression: the use of foreign militias (including Afghan fighters) to disperse gatherings, and the harsher use of the "war against God" clause in show trials leading to death sentences. The author calls for widespread publication of this data, along with offering hope for a better economic future led by the US, to connect different groups in Iran and accelerate internal processes to overthrow the regime.
