When Will Iranian Security Forces Act to Save Themselves?
(Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs) "The Iranians are now at their lowest point since the end of the Iran-Iraq War in 1988," Oded Ailam, a former senior official in the Mossad and a researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, said in an interview on Sunday. Iran's current strategy is a desperate attempt to exert massive pressure on the Gulf states, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait by targeting symbols of status and tourism, such as shutting down the world's busiest airports in Dubai. "The strikes against the Gulf states are extremely severe." Regarding the future of the regime, Ailam said, "The question is whether an internal coup will occur within the army, which numbers 560,000 personnel, or even within the Revolutionary Guards." The Americans are likely already maintaining clandestine channels with insiders who feel the ship is sinking. "The question is when people will say to themselves, this story is over and we need to save ourselves."
