PNN – The newspaper Maariv, warning of the dangers of another war with Iran, wrote that Israel will never achieve its objectives regarding Iran.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network; amidst reports of escalating tensions in the region and the potential for a new round of regional conflict, Zionist circles have warned that Israel would be unable to achieve its goals vis-à-vis Iran, even though a new war.
Israel Will Never Achieve Its Objectives against Iran
In this context, the Hebrew-language newspaper Maariv reported that banking on the overthrow of the Iranian regime through a new military strike is a notion detached from strategic reality. A new conflict would not lead to what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu terms a “total victory”; rather, it could open the door to far-reaching military, economic, and diplomatic repercussions.
The Zionist outlet added that Netanyahu’s recent remarks—in which he linked the attainment of a “complete victory” to the destruction of the Iranian regime—along with his directives to the military to achieve a “final” defeat of Iran, overlook the nature of modern warfare as well as the inherent limitations of air power in toppling ideological political regimes.
The article further states that inflicting a decisive military defeat on a country the size of Iran—with its vast geographical area and challenging terrain—would require extensive ground operations and an invasion of Iranian territory; an option that Israel lacks the capability to execute, and which the United States does not appear prepared to pursue.
Scenario of Widespread Destruction in Israel amid New Iranian Attacks
Maariv has warned that a new attack would not differ fundamentally from previous ones in terms of its outcome, yet it would increase the cost of the confrontation. Furthermore, such attacks would not lead to the collapse of the Iranian regime; instead, they could result in widespread destruction within Israel, affecting all aspects of life.
The Hebrew-language outlet emphasized that Tehran might—in coordination with Hezbollah and other allies in Iraq and Yemen—resort to its full military capacity, launching a barrage of missiles and drones toward Israel.
The report further states that potential attacks could target critical facilities—including civilian and military infrastructure, power plants, desalination plants, and air force bases—which could inflict significant damage on population centers and plunge Israel into a prolonged war of attrition.
Maariv added that the Iranian regime possesses a degree of resilience; it might view the preservation of its own power as a victory—even in the face of severe damage to its infrastructure—so long as it remains capable of continuing to target Israel and disrupt daily life there.
The US and Israel Cannot Eliminate Iran’s Nuclear Program
Regarding Iran’s nuclear program, this Zionist media outlet stated that a new attack by the US and Israel aimed at halting uranium enrichment in Iran would not succeed. This is because Iran has developed its nuclear program with the understanding that its key facilities could be targeted; consequently, it has established an extensive backup system.
The aforementioned Zionist outlet further addressed Israel’s international isolation, emphasizing that the disregard for the political and diplomatic consequences of any further escalation of the conflict poses yet another danger—one that lies in wait for Israel, yet remains largely overlooked.
In conclusion, Maariv stated that the assumption that a new military attack would lead to a “decisive” victory over Iran is not based on realistic guarantees; such an attack would not only fail to topple the Iranian regime, but would also increase the security and economic burden on Israel and deal another blow to its international standing.
