The crisis threatening Iran: "The regime will not survive the summer"
Lieutenant Colonel (res.) Amit Yagur stated in an interview with Tal Meir that the ambiguity surrounding US intentions toward Iran is part of a broad psychological warfare campaign. He assesses that the Donald Trump administration is now focused on more radical objectives, potentially including regime collapse.
Lieutenant Colonel (res.) Amit Yagur stated in an interview with Tal Meir that the fog surrounding American intentions regarding Iran is not coincidental, and that a broad war of consciousness is being waged behind the sequence of reports, leaks, and statements.
"I am skeptical of every report that comes out during this period, both from here and from there. It is all one big propaganda war, and we do not really know what the hidden intention behind it is," Yagur clarified.
Yagur argued that the critical question now is not only whether the USA will take military action, but what exactly it seeks to achieve. He questioned whether the US logic is to act to return Iran to the negotiating table, or if the conclusion is that they have given it too much time and now it is necessary to reach a situation where the regime collapses.
Yagur emphasized that while no clear answer has been given, he assesses that there has been a shift in the position of US President Donald Trump: "My interpretation is that Donald Trump has reached the conclusion that there is no one to talk to. We saw this in his recent speeches, in the statements and personal humiliations. I think the USA has changed the logic towards something much more serious, up to the collapse of the regime."
Alongside the political uncertainty, Yagur pointed to military indicators on the ground. According to him, the USA is concentrating forces on a significant scale, the naval blockade has been renewed, and regional activity indicates that preparations are still ongoing.
When asked if an attack might begin this week, Yagur refrained from a definitive statement, noting that the USA might seek to first pass the funeral events and the visit of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington, and that additional preparations may remain incomplete.
At the end of the interview, Yagur presented a particularly sharp assessment regarding the future of the regime in Tehran:
"The regime is in a very deep internal problem that is worsening every day. I do not think it will survive the summer."
