Iran’s own pro-regime media have been reporting on it. Iran is intensely interested in what might happen in Israel, and in taking advantage of this unique opportunity. However, the regime, which is still facing its own protests that haven’t stopped for seven months, is also skeptical of what might come next.
Tasnim News, considered close to the IRGC, profiled Netanyahu’s current policies on Monday. The stance it has taken is that it assumes Netanyahu will “suppress” dissent, especially among reservists. It terms the current chaos as a “crisis” that creates a “gap” in Israel, apparently one that Iran would like to fill with chaos by exporting threats to the West Bank and taking advantage of Israel’s internal problems to continue its entrenchment in Syria and its support for Hezbollah.
Al-Mayadeen News, considered sympathetic to Iran, has also covered the issue extensively, including Gallant’s comments.
The overall context of the reports is to present what is currently happening in Israel without much commentary; a “watch and see” approach. Iran’s regime and its allies in the region, like Hezbollah, have often toed the IRGC line that Israel is always about to implode and fall apart.
Iran knows it can’t confront Israel militarily, so it can only hope for internal chaos or a Deus ex machina that will break Israel apart. Apart from commentary such as “Israel is eroding” appearing in pro-Iranian media, the regime in Tehran is waiting to see what happens next. READ MORE
