CIA: Iranian regime remains unshakeable despite relentless bombardment
The United States fears a shift of the war from the Middle East and Iran to the other side of the Atlantic! The FBIwarned law enforcement authorities last month about the possibility that Tehran might attempt retaliation for American strikes on Iran by launching surprise drone attacks in California. According to a security bulletin obtained by Reuters, this confidential notice was issued by the FBI through the interagency Los Angeles Regional Intelligence Center.
As BN previously reported, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) warned California authorities of a potential surprise UAV attack from Tehran as retaliation for American operations. According to ABC News, the warning refers to a launch plan from an unidentified vessel off the American coast, although there is no specific evidence regarding the exact timing or target yet. At the same time, American agencies express concern over Iran's "massive presence" in Latin America and the potential use of drone technology by drug cartels against US forces at the Mexican border. Analysts estimate that offensive equipment may have already been pre-positioned on land and at sea. The warning came to light just hours before the CIA intelligence report on the undiminished capabilities of the Iranian regime, which remains unshakeable despite the blows it received in recent weeks, including the elimination of top officials and its Supreme Leader.
CIA: The Iranian regime remains unshakeable despite relentless bombardment
According to classified US intelligence reports cited by Reuters, the Tehran leadership remains largely intact and in full control of the country, despite two weeks of incessant strikes by the United States and Israel. Three different sources point out that the regime shows no signs of imminent collapse, maintaining control over the population, a fact that complicates Washington's plans for a quick outcome to the operations.
Trump's deadlock and the harsh reality of war
While domestic political pressure in the United States swells due to the explosive rise in oil prices, Donald Trump has hinted that he desires a swift end to the largest military operation in decades. However, finding an acceptable solution seems extremely difficult as long as Iran's hardline leaders refuse to back down from their positions. Even Israeli officials, in confidential discussions, now recognize that there is no guarantee that the bombardments will lead to the fall of the government of the mullahs, even though the situation remains fluid and internal dynamics could shift at any moment.
The scenario of a ground intervention and the role of the Kurds
Despite the elimination of Ali Khamenei and dozens of senior Revolutionary Guard officials, the figures who took the reins of power seem to hold the scepter of control, while his son and newly selected leader Mojtaba Khamenei is reportedly recovering from injuries sustained during the initial US-Israeli attack. Israel appears determined not to allow any remnant of the previous regime to remain, yet it remains unclear how its overthrow will be achieved without further escalation. Sources cited by Reuters estimate that a ground invasion may be unavoidable, as it is deemed necessary to provide the required security for Iranian citizens to take to the streets and protest en masse.
Uprising at the borders and the readiness of militias
In this context, Kurdish militias based in Iraq are in consultations with the United States regarding the possibility of an attack on western Iran, a move that could split Iranian security forces and spark an internal uprising. Abdullah Mohtadi, head of the Komala party, stated that tens of thousands of armed youth are ready to turn against the government if they receive US support. In fact, there are reports that Revolutionary Guard units have already begun abandoning bases in Kurdish regions, fearing new strikes from the United States and Israel.
