Maariv Newspaper: US and Israeli Claims on Iran’s Military Power Lack Credibility
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the Israeli newspaper Maariv has reported that Iran is preparing for a new phase of confrontation with the Israeli regime. This comes as the United States and the Israeli regime are facing a reality that contradicts the statements made by their officials regarding Iran’s military capabilities over the past year.
According to the report, Iran continues to produce a large number of ballistic missiles monthly and possesses substantial quantities of these missiles. This information stands in contrast to the remarks of senior US government officials, indicating that Tehran is continuing to bolster its military strength.
The newspaper acknowledges that under current circumstances, describing Iran as a depleted country is difficult, as Tehran, in addition to preparing for a new confrontation, is engaged in a “war of nerves” with the Israeli regime and the United States, characterized by mutual statements and displays of power. Tehran is benefiting from the political situation in the United States during the presidency of Donald Trump, as well as the political crisis in Israel.
Maariv also reported disagreements between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Israeli regime, on how to confront Iran. Netanyahu is advocating for a new round of confrontation with Iran, while Trump, following his setbacks in the US midterm congressional elections, is reassessing his calculations.
The newspaper has expressed doubts about the economic and military capabilities of the Israeli regime to face the challenges ahead, writing that after more than three years of war, it is unclear whether an annual budget deficit of 12 billion shekels will allow the regime to simultaneously handle all economic challenges and enhance its military power.
