ما علاقة ضرب البنية التحتية بالعملية البرية الأميركية المحتملة في إيران؟
Summary
Iran is likely to resist U.S. demands and may prefer to endure military strikes rather than make concessions. The Iranian regime faces significant internal challenges, including economic struggles and public discontent, which could influence its military strategies. As tensions escalate, the regime's focus on power retention may lead to increased resentment among citizens towards U.S. actions.
The potential for internal dissent within Iran complicates the assumption that the regime will prioritize military responses over citizen welfare. Public resentment could limit the regime's aggressive actions, challenging the effectiveness of U.S. military strategies. The dynamics of international diplomacy and economic sanctions also play a crucial role in shaping public opinion and the regime's decision-making.
