Inside Israel's Strategy Against Iran’s Regime – CNN Interview

Miri provides an in-depth overview of Israel’s current targeting strategy in its campaign against Iran, emphasizing strikes on nuclear sites, top IRGC leadership, weapons manufacturing facilities, missile and drone infrastructure, and air defense systems. She explains the rationale for targeting the regime, particularly its supreme leader, and notes the ideological focus on Israel’s annihilation. Miri elaborates on the systemic preparations for regime succession in Iran and highlights the risk that any successor could be similarly extreme. Responding to a discussion about possible U.S. military involvement under a Trump administration, Miri argues that Iran’s actions and proxy warfare have already destabilized the region for decades, and that further outside involvement would address global, not only Israeli, interests. She stresses the danger of ignoring Iran’s aggression solely because its targets have mostly been Israel, citing that such neglect led to October 7th and ongoing threats.
