"Al Jazeera: Iran's Weapons Arsenal Destroyed In A Matter Of Days

The U.S. and Israeli strategy is successful.

Al-Jazeera TV's website publishes an article by Muhammad Selum, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Politics and Strategy at the Doha Institute of Higher Education. The expert declares the success of the American-Israeli strategy toward Iran, writes newsru.co.il.

"If we focus on what is happening with the instruments of Iranian force: the ballistic arsenal, nuclear infrastructure, air defense, navy and satellites, we get a picture of the systematic destruction of a threat that previous US administrations turned a blind eye to for decades," he emphasizes.

According to the expert, Iran's decades-old weapons arsenal has been destroyed in a matter of days, and the intensity of shelling has been significantly reduced. Iran's military-industrial complex, including design bureaus, is being destroyed.

Iran is facing a dilemma - to continue shelling and lose what is left, or to keep missiles and UAVs, but thereby reduce the price of war, giving up the main lever of pressure. This is a sign of weakness, not strength.

Selum said that on the eve of the 12-day war, Iran was two weeks away from getting uranium enriched to the level needed to make a nuclear weapon. The regime tried to undo the damage done in June by using negotiations to buy time, showing an ostensible willingness to dialog.

The closing of the Strait of Hormuz has always been Iran's main threat, but now, despite rising energy prices, there is a systematic destruction of all the infrastructure needed to close it. In addition, it is Iran that is most vulnerable to the blockade and is actually cutting off its own breathing room. Opening the strait is a matter of time, but it is not certain that Iran itself will be able to use it.

"Critics believe that the cost of inaction would be zero. But it isn't. Inaction would lead to the emergence of a nuclear Iran that could close the strait and, along with its satellites, take the entire region hostage - forever. A strategy that is measured by the deprivation of capabilities, not by publications in the news, works," the expert believes.
