From collapsing missile capabilities to the possibility of regime fracture, the next days may determine the future of the Islamic Republic. And a note on the American-Israeli alliance
Great article. I'm very interested in learning more about scenario 3, a fractured Iran, that Israel seems to prefer. I've recently listened to American commentators like Michael Doran and Fred Kagan mention a possible Syrian Civil War like outcome. While that would obviously cause great hardship for the Iranian people, I haven't heard a clear argument why it would be necessarily against American or Israeli interests. The possible proliferation of nuclear material seems like the greatest risk. Thanks!
The strategic value of the US-Israel alliance is being demonstrated in real time. It would be most helpful if US Chiefs of Staff, CENTCOM or other top military brass would speak to the American people about the remarkable value of the alliance and the extraordinary cooperation and achievements produced as a result. Such voices are all the more credible and effective for being non-political. Retired General Petraeus would be enlightening to hear, too, as he clearly was on Dan Senor's recent podcast.
Listened to you on Call Me Back earlier today. The three of you did a great job of explaining much of what is happening, in real time. Like you, I am worried. God Bless, Nadav!
Great article and podcast
Thank you Nadav!!! Great info!!
Open question: If the Kurds become involved then does Turkey move automatically in response given their historic (and current) antipathy?
