Hebrew Strategic Research Site: War Profits in Iran

An analysis published on a Hebrew strategic research site addresses overlooked aspects of Israeli discourse regarding confrontations with Iran and the American blockade, indicating that the primary goal is to choke Iran's ability to rebuild the axis of its allies. The analysis asserts that Iran does not pose an existential threat to Israel in the absence of nuclear weapons or thousands of ballistic missiles, but it built a fire belt around Israel that Israel crushed during three years of war. It argues that Iran now has much less money to rebuild this belt, especially after the massive damage and American blockade. It notes that Hezbollah lost billions of dollars, and Iranian transfers are insufficient to compensate its losses, and links Iran's weakness to pushing the Saudis to negotiate with the Houthis.
