Iran's Arsenal, US Involvement & the Iranian Public: Analysing escalations – ILTV Interview

Miri discusses Iran's advanced military capabilities, detailing the regime's ballistic missiles and diverse drone arsenal capable of striking far beyond the region. She highlights the recent surge in sophisticated Iranian attacks against Israel and notes the possibility of ground threats from Iranian-backed Shiite forces. On US involvement, Miri predicts ongoing quiet cooperation and logistical support but doubts the US will engage directly in military strikes, emphasizing that Israel will bear most operational responsibility. She underscores the fragility and repression within Iran, observing that while many Iranians oppose the regime's aggression toward Israel, the regime's harsh dictatorship limits the population's ability to protest or enact change—even as recent strikes create an opening for dissent. Miri expresses hope for the Iranian people but remains realistic about the difficulties they face under the regime’s ongoing crackdown.
