Iran's Strategy Succeeds in US Midterms, But Not Against Israel
Summarized from The Times of Israel by baba
Iran's strategy to influence US policy and public opinion has succeeded following the midterm elections, with Tehran celebrating the Democrats' gains as a rejection of war. Iran's plan to inflict economic pain and casualties on the US, particularly through attacks on the Strait of Hormuz, has created political pressure. However, Iran still faces a significant threat from Israel, which has demonstrated a capacity for deep strikes within Iran and is viewed as a primary threat by Israeli political candidates. Iran's continued pressure on the US may be an attempt to limit Israel's military options.
