The oil and gas facilities in Iran have been attacked by Israel. These targets may not have been hit by airstrikes, but rather detonated by suicide drones used by Israel's clandestine operatives. Israel is now teaming up with Europe and America to comprehensively strangle Iran militarily and economically, targeting the hardliners within the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps while avoiding attacks on the pro-Western high-ranking officials of the Iranian Armed Forces. The clear purpose of this is to eliminate most of the hardliners and then support the pro-Western high-ranking officials in Iran to take full control.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is not only a military group but also controls a vast commercial interest group, which dominates much of Iran's economic lifelines. Uneven distribution of benefits has caused friction between the Iranian public and other high-ranking officials as well as their forces, coupled with their own indecisive actions and lack of strong support from powerful factions.
