Amidst reports of potential cooperation between Israel and Saudi Arabia, an Iran expert, Dani Sitrinovich, has issued a warning about a potential escalation following upcoming elections. Sitrinovich suggested that Iran might consider taking action before the elections to increase chaos, especially if they anticipate being attacked.

He speculated on the possibility of a future Israeli-American coordinated strike against Iran, questioning if it would differ from previous operations. Sitrinovich expressed doubt that economic pressure alone would lead to the immediate downfall of the Iranian regime, warning that this could leave Israel facing an Iranian escalation for several months or longer.

The expert noted that the ongoing discussion about Iran potentially attacking Israel indicates that previous military operations, despite their operational successes, did not achieve the strategic outcome needed to bring about change within Iran.
