One Iranian voice worth watching closely at the moment is Mehdi Mohammadi, strategic affairs adviser to Parliament Speak | Hanami
One Iranian voice worth watching closely at the moment is Mehdi Mohammadi, strategic affairs adviser to Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
- In his latest assessments, Mohammadi argues that signs of a new military confrontation, particularly between Iran and Israel, have intensified considerably and that the situation is approaching what he calls “zero hour.”
- More significantly, he believes the political decision between Trump and Netanyahu has already been made, and that the remaining problems are mainly intelligence, operational and logistical ones.
- Mohammadi’s assessments are not official statements and should not be treated as such. But they are repeatedly amplified by media and platforms close to Iran’s security establishment.
- For that reason alone, I think what he is writing at the moment deserves to be taken seriously, not necessarily as a prediction of what will happen, but as an indication of how at least part of the Iranian security environment is reading the situation.
