Iran Is On a Suicidal Trajectory
(Israel Hayom) Beni Sabti - Iran regularly inflates its power and exaggerates its enemies' weaknesses. The regime operates many websites and social media accounts to project an image of overwhelming strength, vast resources and limitless capabilities with the sole purpose of deterring adversaries and discouraging them from attacking Iran. Historically, a particularly strong Iranian fighter would step out and confront the opposing army's front line, shouting boasts about his own strength and that of the Iranian forces. The hope was that the enemy, intimidated by this display, would retreat and avoid battle. Iran is currently run by a corrupt group of politicians and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officials. Many secretly hold Western passports so they can flee when necessary, and many of their children already live in the West. Under Khamenei's leadership, Iran has turned into a suicidal state. The regime is draining the country's natural resources and environment to fund its terror networks, missile programs and nuclear ambitions, as well as its propaganda machine. This is how Iran reached the point where it lacks sufficient water and electricity at home while financing kindergartens for tribal children in Africa or building mosques in South America. Iran's historic weakness is its inability to compromise when necessary, which has led to the downfall of its rulers and empires throughout history. The Iranian regime will pay the price for its arrogance and blind threats, and perhaps the Iranian people themselves will ultimately help bring that about.
