Israel and the Islamic Republic: Both Threats to Iran’s National Security
The current turning point in the conflict between the Islamic Republic and the Israeli government offers a clear opportunity to identify two adversaries of the Iranian nation: those who support the dictatorship of the Islamic Republic, and those who rely on Israel, depend on its financial backing, and root for its invasion of Iran. One has destroyed the nation's wealth to maintain its power, while the other seeks future power at any cost to the Iranian people.
On the one hand, we must distance ourselves from the stakeholders of the Islamic Republic who support an ideological foreign policy marked by irrational hostility toward Western civilization, while inevitably relying on the East, the strengthening of ISIS-like forces and Shiite-centered Islamic fundamentalism, along with the push for impossible and immoral ideal of Israel’s destruction. These ideas has functioned against Iran’s national security vulnerable and been the main cause of the country's ongoing instability. They are also a major obstacle to the nation’s economic prosperity.
On the other hand, we must remain vigilant of Israel’s extremist government which before anything else seeks to weaken Iran’ s position in regional security dynamics while promoting the illusion of regime change in simplistic mind; let us make it clear: Islamic Republic should go with the will and power of Iranian nation. Israel must understand that if it goes beyond merely neutralizing the Islamic Republic’s efforts against Isreal existence and security, and attempts to manipulate Iranian movements or form a political alternative in its favor, the Iranian people will respond strongly. Iran is too big a fish for Netanyahu to fry.
Once upon a time, British agents elevated an ambitious and unknown Cossack to the throne—through a miscalculation and the opportunism of some political forces and intellectuals involved in the constitutional revolutions, against the backdrop of a unique global condition in the wake of World War I. That time has passed. A repetition of this, especially by Israel, would comically fail. Reza Pahlavi will not be Reza Shah, and Israel is not Britain. It is often said, “History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.” Should Israel make the aforementioned mistake, it would be performing the farce.
