Danni Citrinowitz, a former officer of Israel’s military intelligence (AMAN) and an expert on military security issues, has called on the United States and Israel to correctly assess the position of Iran’s leadership.
Globalinfo.az reports that this was stated by “Caucasian Live”.
Citrinowitz said that the meeting of Iran’s supreme religious leader Mujtaba Khamenei with the military command, and the messages issued in his name, demonstrate the seriousness of Tehran‘s position. According to him, Iran’s top political and military elite is united and there is no split within the leadership.
“Iran’s elite, including the president, is united and not divided. They are simply playing the roles of bad cop and good cop. Those who expect a figure like Delcy Rodríguez to emerge in Iran are strategically mistaken,” the expert stressed.
Citrinowitz believes that Iran’s leadership perceives the current confrontation as an existential threat, and therefore has the will to resist possible strikes. He also noted that Iran has the capability to cause large-scale escalation in the region.
According to the expert, Iran has not displayed such a serious position in the last 47 years:
“Although Gulf countries are stepping up efforts to prevent war, the gap between the positions of Tehran and Washington is deeper than before. Both sides expect concessions from the other.”
The expert did not rule out that tensions in the Middle East will continue in the coming days. He called on the United States and Israel to take Iran’s threats seriously and to avoid mistaken strategic calculations regarding the country’s political-military elite.
