SAEDNEWS: Netanyahu had defined one main goal and four important objectives for himself at the start of the war, and it remains to be seen whether he has achieved these goals or not.
Saed news: To understand which side the result of the 12-day war favors, we must see whether the initiator of the war has achieved his goals or not. Since the start of the war with Iran, Israel had several important objectives and one main goal.
The main goal of Israel, as explicitly admitted by Netanyahu, was to “Libyanize” Iran. In this plan, Israel intended to destroy critical infrastructures, overthrow the government, and then fragment the country.
The Israeli newspaper Jerusalem Post had asked the U.S. President to prioritize the disintegration of Iran and support for terrorist and separatist groups. Netanyahu believed that a surprise and lightning attack could facilitate achieving this goal.
Unity in the Streets of Iran
To reach the goal of Libyanizing Iran, Netanyahu placed special bets on internal unrest. However, the imposition of war led to the suspension of differences, even among various political factions, and Iranian society united in opposition to Israel.
Operational Capability Continued Strongly
Israel aimed to paralyze Iran’s military operations by assassinating senior commanders. But from day one, Iran’s armed forces continued their operations without pause. Although Iran lost important commanders, it quickly replaced them with other capable individuals.
Defensive Capability Maintained
Another of Netanyahu’s goals was to completely destroy Iran’s defensive capabilities. Although some damage occurred, it should be noted that Iran’s air defense has remained active from day one until now.
Moreover, according to reports, Iran’s defense systems shot down an F-35 fighter jet—a fighter that the U.S. claims is one of the most stealthy of its kind.
Doubts About Destruction of Nuclear Facilities
Regarding the attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, there are points that require specialized investigation. But overall, a significant portion of American media and analysts have reported that Iran’s facilities were not destroyed. This led to severe anger from Trump, who called the American news agencies liars.
Netanyahu has a poor track record of failing to achieve war objectives. In the past, he repeatedly emphasized that he would not declare a ceasefire in Gaza until Hamas was completely destroyed. Yet ultimately, despite Hamas forces being openly present on the streets of Gaza, he was forced to accept a ceasefire.
