U.S.-Israeli pressure on Iran risks strategic failure: Political strategist

Ashish Prashar warns that recent U.S.-Israeli aggression against Iran is a major miscalculation. He says Washington and Tel Aviv underestimated Iran’s decades-long preparedness.

Prashar cites Marco Rubio’s admission—“We did this for Israel”—as revealing the true motive, driven by Netanyahu’s ambition for a “greater Israel.”

The pressure aims to exploit a narrow window but will backfire by strengthening Iran’s internal cohesion. While Europe remains complicit through silence, global public opinion is shifting.

“They are confronting a nation that has been preparing for this for over 20 years,” Prashar stated, concluding that the strategy ignores Iran’s resilience and risks strategic failure.
