The Plan to Bring Down the Iranian Regime
(Israel Hayom) Danny Zaken - The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), led by Ahmad Vahidi, believes that despite the enormous damage, the regime can survive, that Trump will eventually lose patience, and that the Gulf states and Israel will not be able to sustain the economic paralysis for long. There is no legitimacy within the regime for negotiations. The direction the U.S. appears to be taking in order to bring about Iran's collapse is an economic one. With Trump's latest 10-day ultimatum to Iran due to expire on Monday, escalating attacks are expected to target additional bridges and major railway lines, especially those leading to the capital, Tehran. The expanded target bank also includes various sectors of the oil industry, including petrochemical industries. The main reason is that these industries are controlled by the IRGC and serve as a primary source of income for it. A diplomatic source explained, "The economic issue will begin to have an impact....Already today, most public-sector workers in Iran are not being paid, including large parts of the regular army. That is in contrast to the forces of the IRGC and its various affiliated mechanisms, where payments are continuing." "Many factories have shut down or been taken out of operation, entire sectors of the economy have ceased to function, and that economic burden is having an impact. Even if the war ended now, the regime would not be able to begin reconstruction without a full lifting of sanctions." The next phase of the economic war could be a complete halt to Iran's oil exports, its oxygen pipeline.
