Iran's direct attack against Israel last Saturday was the central event that brought down the unstable shelf in the Middle East. Iran's weaknesses were absolutely exposed, unlike what happened on Saturday, when the battery of more than three hundred projectiles of Persian power was almost entirely destroyed by an extraordinary shield that united Israel with the U.S., France, Great Britain, and Jordan.
It is possible that for this reason the official Iranian press denied the existence of any bombing as "pure Western propaganda" at the time it occurred. It was a textbook error that demonstrated a significant failure in the Persian autocracy itself. That movement Elevated the Mideast crisis to a dimension that the Persian Autocracy itself had tried to avoid since the beginning of the current war in Gaza. It does not matter if Tehran reduced its effectiveness. The Mideast crisis entered an unknown dimension when Israel hit a key point in Iran with its missiles to return the attack it had received on its territory on Saturday. The contained Israeli response this Friday on Iranian territory advances in a face-to-face duel between these former enemies. Iran's military move also provided crucial help to Netanyahu's deteriorating image. Tehran avoided sacrificing itself to the aid of its acolyte Hamas after the terrorist attack against Israel on October 7. The failures in the Iranian decision-making system may be confirming the decline of the Islamic Revolution challenged by a chronic social crisis and nationalist detachment in the population. Iran's response to the attack on the embassy was the most important news of those hours, interpreted by some analysts as a response precisely to the embassy attack. Iran may have been more likely to respond to the hijacking of the Israeli capital container ship that its commandos took over on Saturday morning. It is possible to find among Israelis on the plain, even among those who marched to demand the resignation of the controversial president, who point out that this time he did the right things. Tehran's response may be the return of Mr. Security, the presumptuous nickname given to himself by the right-wing leader, whose star had gone out with the disasters of the war in Gaza.
