TEHRAN PAPERS

The strategic dimension of True Promise II

October 4, 2024 - 21:36

TEHRAN - Jam-e-Jam analyzed Operation True Promise II on Tuesday night that Iran fired about 200 ballistic missiles at Israeli military sites and spy centers.

The paper said: The Western-Zionist axis has become aware of the Iranian authorities' intents over the past ten years, and based on that understanding has put pressure on our country in various cases. Despite Iran's strategic deterrence, it (the evil axis) was able to deal blows to Iran several times without receiving a strong response. However, Operation True Promise II changed the balance of power in West Asia again in favor of the Axis of Resistance, revealed the lies of the Zionist regime regarding its defense capabilities, and sent a serious message to the Washington-Tel Aviv axis and their Arab-European allies. The most important feature of this operation, from a strategic point of view, was that after a decade it undermined the assumptions of the enemies to find about Tehran's approach and its decision to punish a terrorist like Netanyahu, who imagined that the resistance front had been destroyed.

Javan: How far will nuclear power take us?!

In a commentary, Javan dealt with Iran's nuclear issue and wrote: For years, American and Western political propaganda campaigns about Iran's nuclear power have been focused on the slogan "We will not let Iran get nuclear weapons". America uses this slogan as an excuse for its interventions in the West Asia region. Also, the West cannot believe that Iran is enriching uranium but does not build nuclear weapons. With this description, perhaps part of the unsuccessful attempt of the West to stop Iran's nuclear is this assumption. Iran does not have nuclear weapons, but it "can" have them, and it can do this "both at the moment and on a large scale" as a great research work. Deterrence is an important principle, which is not easy to predict and judge without access to future science. The need for deterrence helps us to plan for advanced scientific future projects.

Ham Mihan: What will Israel do?

Ham Mihan examined the options facing Israel in case of response to Iran's legitimate and legal missile attacks on the regime’s military and intelligence centers. It said: After Iran's missile attack on the occupied territories, Israel has two options for a possible response. Either Israel will decide to attack a few targets on Iranian soil, or it will escalate tensions; it means it will try to launch a large and geographically wider attack or even an air battle against Iran. If Israel chooses the second path, it will certainly face Iran's reaction, and this process will greatly increase the possibility of a direct conflict. Apart from the geographical dimension, it must be said that a severe and comprehensive conflict between Iran and Israel could lead to a regional war and seriously weaken American interests in the region. Now that the taboo of Israeli-Iranian confrontation has been broken more than ever before it seems that there will be factors for future aggressive actions by either side, but aggressive actions will stay sporadic.

Donya-e-Eqtesad: True Promise II is an important step to highlight Iran's deterrence power

In an interview with Alireza Majidi, a Middle East researcher, Donya-e-Eqtesad discussed the importance of Operation True Promise II. He said: Iran estimated that the Israeli regime had started an aggressive campaign and it must be stopped. Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah was considered the biggest red line of Iran's foreign borders, and if Israel wanted to continue the escalation of the crisis and raise the level of tension after his martyrdom, the next step would be to enter Iran's borders. Therefore, the Islamic Republic should have stopped him. Before the (retaliatory) attack, an idea was formed that Iran had left the Axis of Resistance alone. But the True Promise II showed that this idea is not true. Iran's recent operation is an important step in the path of deterrence. Iran's action caused a serious challenge to the new order called by Netanyahu. In deterrence, two final goals are pursued, involving the minds of the officials of the other party and their public opinion. Operation True Promise II caused fear among the people and public opinion in Israel and even its politicians.
