Why isn’t Iran attacking Israel? - opinion
Ultimately, the Islamic Nazi regime can be defeated. And when it is, the Persian people will rise up like lions to take back their country.
Iran has been waging a 46-year-long war with the United States and Israel. Its primary strategy involves using proxies and drones to destabilize the Gulf region and attack American bases. Despite the US and Israel neutralizing over 90% of these missiles, Iran's drones remain a potent threat.
The question emerges: why isn't Iran attacking Israel directly? The answer lies in Israel's successful drone warfare. By targeting key Iranian leaders such as Razi Mousavi, Mohammad Reza Zahedi, Ali Khamenei, and others, Israel effectively "cut off the head of the snake," preventing Iran from reproducing its military prowess.
Donald Trump's administration has further crippled Iran's war machine, breaking its nuclear backbone and damaging its strategic capabilities. The key to halting Iran's aggression now lies in targeting their drones, which are the primary weapon in their arsenal. With over 300,000 small, inexpensive drones produced by Iran, defeating this threat requires a focused strategy - much like the one Israel employed.
The Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global maritime trade, cannot be effectively protected by air and naval power alone due to Iran's drone capabilities. Iran's Shahed-136 drone, for instance, can cover a range of 500 miles and costs between $20,000 and $35,000 to produce.
To defeat Iran's drones, the strategy should focus on targeting their leaders, much like Israel did. This approach, with its potential for success, is the most effective way to neutralize Iran's drone threat and compel the regime to reconsider its aggressive stance.
