  • Iran believes a U.S.-Israeli attack is a certainty and U.S. diplomacy is untrustworthy.
  • Iranian leaders reportedly think Israel dictates U.S. Middle East policy.
  • Israel is accused of preventing any diplomatic solution with the U.S.
  • There are increasing calls within Iran for decisive action based on self-defense.
  • Iran would consider attacking U.S. political targets legitimate in a wider war.

Iran anticipates a U.S.-Israeli attack as an "accomplished fact" and views American diplomatic efforts as unreliable, according to a security source cited by Iran's Fars News Agency. Iranian leaders reportedly believe that U.S. policy in the Middle East is dictated by Tel Aviv, with Israel preventing any diplomatic solution.

Amidst these perceptions, there are growing pressures within Iranian society for decisive action to break perceived blockades, citing the right to self-defense. The source further stated that if a large-scale war erupts and assassinations occur, targeting American political objectives and other entities involved in the conflict would be considered a legitimate response.
