Senior Israeli officials assess that a series of strategic failures by the clerical regime, across the fields of nuclear development, regional alliances, and deterrence, have weakened Iran and left it more vulnerable than ever in the current confrontation.
Israel has achieved exceptional military accomplishments in its brief campaign against Iran, but it is still too early to determine the implications of the heavy blows Iran sustained for the stability of its regime.
Senior political officials estimate that as long as Ali Khamenei remains in power, he will not abandon Iran’s nuclear project.
On the contrary, he may now attempt—covertly—to accelerate the production of a nuclear bomb and to resume the development of ballistic missiles.
Security officials warn against Israel being dragged into a prolonged war of attrition with Iran. They argue that Israel must shorten the campaign by eliminating the Iranian leadership and striking strategic targets that could lead to the regime’s collapse.
