Ex-Navy Chief: Iran Regime Collapse Could Render Polls Irrelevant

Former Israeli Navy Commander, Major General (res.) Eliezer "Cheney" Marom, stated in an interview on Radio Galai Israel that the Iranian regime might not survive if the United States remains committed to its current actions. "If the Americans stay true to the mission, don't back down, and continue doing what they are doing, I don't see this regime surviving," Marom said.

Marom expressed confidence in Prime Minister Netanyahu's statements regarding the potential fall of the Iranian regime. He further commented on the upcoming Israeli elections, suggesting that if the Iranian regime collapses before the elections, "all the pollsters can go home." This statement alludes to claims from various figures on the left who have accused Prime Minister Netanyahu of prolonging the conflict with Iran and intending to use a wartime scenario as a campaign strategy for the elections.
