“Targeted killings”, Israel’s plan against Iran –

Israel’s announced response to Iran will take place, but not in the times and ways that “Western public opinion and media expect”, explains Giorgio Cuzzelli, former brigadier general of the Italian Army and international security consultant. There will not be a “massive” action, but Tel Aviv, according to the senior officer’s predictions, will continue to “kill by targeting all Iranian representatives abroad”, and aiming to separate Tehran from its substitutes, i.e. militia groups like Houthis and Hezbollah.

In short, Israel will continue to “possibly strike other Iranian agents of influence”, while an attack on Iranian territory would have serious political repercussions, explains Cuzzelli. Tel Aviv “is highly likely to continue its policy of targeted assassinations and targeting Iranian interests abroad”, explains the general. But doesn’t doing so demonstrate that you are not following up your promises with concrete actions? The soldier notes that in the context of deterrence, the announcement of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government will have the effect of keeping Iran “in suspense”, always waiting for Israeli action.
