PNN – Ehud Barak, the former Prime Minister and Minister of War of the Zionist regime, acknowledged the defeat of the war of this regime and the United States against Iran and Hezbollah, emphasizing that this war “has failed and will fail” in the absence of a specific plan and excessive reliance on military force.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network; the former Israeli prime minister stated that defeat in Iran seems certain and that instead of repeatedly changing the objectives of the war, diplomatic initiatives should be taken.
Acknowledging the defeat of the war between the regime and the United States against Iran and Hezbollah, Ehud Barak, the former Israeli prime minister and minister of war, emphasized that this war “has failed and will fail” in the absence of a clear plan and excessive reliance on military force.
Barak said that the assessment of the war’s progress so far has been based more on wishful thinking than strategy, saying, Pleasing on the fall of the Iranian regime by resorting to force or stirring up domestic opinion is futile and may even lead to counterproductive results.
He said the war has been marred by numerous mistakes that have prevented it from achieving its goals, including engaging in illusions, short-sighted thinking, and unrealistic reliance on external parties.
Claiming that “painful blows have been dealt to Iran,” the former Israeli prime minister said that the Iranian regime remains intact and that there is no practical plan to deal with the nuclear issue or achieve strategic goals such as opening the Strait of Hormuz.
Barak emphasized that the United States and Israel have “achieved nothing” despite the fact that more than a month has passed since the start of the war, and that talking about “victorious successes” is incorrect, and that continuing military operations without a strategic perspective or political credibility will not lead to a solution.
In this regard, Barak criticized the management of the war on various fronts, saying that the lack of a political process deprives the military effort of content and prevents it from achieving any decisive results, whether in Iran, Lebanon, or Gaza.
Emphasizing that the collapse of Hezbollah is not an achievable goal under the current circumstances, he said that ending the war requires a parallel political approach that does not currently exist. Barak concluded by stating that defeat in Iran seems certain and instead of repeatedly changing the goals of the war, it should be dealt with through diplomatic initiatives.
