The essential question is: What are the aims and goals of the Zionist regime when raising the war option against Iran and taking measures like allocation of budget to stage a probable military strike against Iran?

Military Option Plan as an Instrument of Psychological Warfare

The Zionist regime has always been one of the most principal opponents of Iran’s nuclear program. Having taken office by Joe Biden in January 2021 and expectation about the U.S. return to (Iran) nuclear deal, the Zionist regime oppositions started to the policy of the new U.S. Administration on the revival of JCPOA. The oppositions have kept intensifying parallel with Vienna talks on JCPOA revival.

Aviv Kochavi, Chief of General Staff of the Zionist regime on January 26, 2021 that means 26 days after Joe Biden took office announced that in order to prevent the return of the new U.S. Administration to JCPOA, he has ordered to plan new programs to attack Iran and to destroy the nuclear program of the county. He also stated that the Zionist regime will not tolerate any form of Iran’s nuclearisation and the Zionist regime alone will take measures against Iran if Biden returns to JCPOA.

Following the start of JCPOA revival talks in late March 2021, there was a sabotage operation on Natanz nuclear facility on April 11, 2021, which the U.S. media from both Democrat and Republican parties attributed the operation to the Zionist regime and its intelligent organization, Mossad as the perpetrator of the sabotage. Media near to Democrat Party called the Zionist regime measure as an act of sabotage aiming at derailing the diplomacy route with Iran. The next act of sabotage by the Zionist regime was made during late June 2021 at Karaj center where centrifuge components were manufactured.

In the meantime, whereas after the trip of the U.S. National Security Advisor to the Zionist regime and 8^th round of Vienna talks that seems to be the last round of JCPOA revival, Financial Committee of the Zionist regime parliament added the said article to the 2022 budget plan, it indicates that the dispute between the U.S. and the Zionist regime has been intensified.

Now, the question is: Along with the act of sabotage which it will receive the response, what are the objectives of the Zionist regime when it bolds the military option? To respond, a few important motivations could be mentioned as follows:

First, the Zionist regime intends to cause concern to the U.S. and thus to exert pressure on it and to make it take stricter position in the course of nuclear talks with Iran, and to reach an agreement with Iran that is as optimal to the Zionist regime as possible. Benny Gantz, Defense Minister of the Zionist regime stated at the national security conference of the Zionist regime on November 21, 2021 that:” I support an agreement between Iran and 5+1 which is stronger, longer and broader than the nuclear agreement of 2015 and will include dismantling of Iran’s nuclear capabilities, more effective inspections on its nuclear industries and Uranium production system”. At the conference, the then Mossad director also called the optimal agreement as the agreement that can completely stop the process of uranium enrichment and decommission the equipment”. With threatening to war, the Zionist regime is looking for scaring the U.S. of the consequences of a probable war that may also involve the U.S.

Second, the Zionist regime is looking to scare and to cause concern among the European countries that concluding a bad nuclear deal with Iran will cause the Zionist regime to resort to the military option. Since a probable war could be extended, its negative consequences could unavoidably affect Europe too.

Third, the Zionist regime is looking to wage a psychological warfare against the Islamic Republic of Iran through putting forward the war option in order to possibly succumb to a new agreement in the course of the current nuclear talks which is desirable to the Zionist regime. In fact, the Zionist regime is concerned that the new talks in Vienna is merely a return to 2015 nuclear deal, and ultimately the U.S. will reach a more unfavorable agreement with Iran and lift the present sanctions against Iran and Tehran, in return, even lessens the inspection restrictions.

Anticipation of probable Measures Taken by the Zionist Regime   

The Zionist regime war option plan against Iran dates back to more than a decade ago, and the Zionist regime has always been looking for scaring the U.S., European countries and possibly Iran. In fact, the Zionist regime war option plan has been a leverage to put pressure on Iran in order to withdraw its nuclear program from one hand, and exerting pressure on the Western countries to sign a nuclear deal with Iran that is favorable to the Zionist regime on the other hand. Three points must be noticed in connection with any measure taken by the Zionist regime against Iran:

First, from military capabilities and geographical components points of view, the Zionist regime has no possibility to wage a military attack against Iran alone and without the company of other countries. The Zionist regime fighters will not only have to fly over the airspace of other countries of the region but also need to have refueling planes which the U.S. has avoided delivering them to the Zionist regime. It is obvious in case the Zionist regime launches a probable military attack against Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran reserves the right to act against not only those countries that provided their airspace to the fighters of the Zionist regime but also gives a crucial and appropriate military response to the Zionist regime.

Second, based on previous experiences and in order to take action against Iran’s nuclear program, the Zionist regime may resort to some acts of sabotage inside Iran. Although the measures of the Zionist regime in the past has inflicted some damages upon Iran’s nuclear program but the security and intelligent circles of Iran managed to immediately overcome the existing weaknesses and recover them, in a way that safeguarding and surveillance levels on those facilities where the Zionist regime already committed acts of sabotage have significantly increased in comparison with the past.

Third, again according to the previous experiences, the Zionist regime may put the assassination of nuclear scientists in its agenda. Therefore, it is necessary that the intelligent-security circles keep their vigilance and watchfulness to prevent any probable measure taken by the Zionist regime.
