Surprising! Even Israel, which fought so fiercely, is now unable to continue. Israel has sent signals that it wants to back down! On March 11, foreign media reported that Israeli officials are now changing their expectations of the results of the attack on Iran. Regime change is slowly being removed from the negotiation table between Israel and the United States, as both countries have begun to realize that the Iranian regime is much more deeply rooted than previously thought.
Foreign media frankly stated that the persistence and unity shown by the Iranian people, especially in urban population centers, indicate that Iran is very stable. Even many people who were previously dissatisfied with the Iranian regime have started to support the Iranian government under the brutal attacks by the United States and Israel, which has forced Israel to adjust its goals. It is clearly surprising that Israel, which initially fought so fiercely, has given up the goal of toppling the Iranian regime, which is unexpected.
One is a regional bully, the other is the world's number one superpower. When the war opened up, the US and Israel killed Iran's top leader and several important generals, making it seem as if the US and Israel had the upper hand and would achieve a "decisive" victory, leading to Iran's collapse. But the result? Iran not only showed an astonishing ability to retaliate but also saw unprecedented unity within the country. Israel is undoubtedly filled with a sense of helplessness, feeling that the goal of crushing Iran is now out of reach.
Facts prove that Iran's retaliation and resilience have delivered a stinging slap to the ambitions of the United States and Israel. The US and Israel, working together, failed to achieve their goals against a medium-sized country. Israel naturally feels a great sense of frustration. As for the United States, it must be feeling embarrassed as well. There is no doubt that both the US and Israel made miscalculations regarding Iran. Facts prove that this is a major setback for the US's pursuit of hegemony.
