Attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities should be considered an attack on the entire Iran, an International Relations Professor at Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated, describing Israel’s objective as an attempt to fragment and weaken Iran.

Why it matters: 

The Israeli regime aimed to fragment Iran, violating core principles of international conduct as a pattern of incidents showed, including the targeting of scientists, media outlets, and civilians.

 

The big picture:

As a resilient actor, Iran was able to swiftly restore its capabilities during the Israeli aggression on Iran, thanks to the unity of its people, including Iranians abroad. The U.S. and Israeli regime sought to destroy Iran’s cohesion, but the result was the opposite—Iranians grew even more united.

 

What he's saying:

Kazem Sajjadpour described the assassination of Iranian scientists, the targeting of national media outlets, and Western attempts to create unrest in Iran as “dirty” actions, calling them part of Israel’s strategic approach to fragment Iran.

 

Key points:

Netanyahu’s leadership and the unresolved issue of Palestine are considered the causes of regional tension.

The recent Israel-Iran conflict was technologically advanced, asymmetrical, and unique in its geography.
