The assassination of top Iranian officials never had a chance of bringing about a revolution in the country, according to Rami Igra
The US‑Israeli strategy of decapitating Iran’s leadership in the hope of sparking a revolution was a “miscalculation” that has failed to destabilize the Islamic Republic, a former senior Mossad official has told RT.
Rami Igra, who previously headed the Israeli intelligence Hostages and Missing Persons Division, stated in an exclusive interview that those who expected Iranians to take to the streets after the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other senior officials were “greatly disappointed.”
“People don’t understand what a revolution is,” Igra said. “You need a popular movement – there is no popular movement in Iran. You need local leadership – not [Reza] Pahlavi from Los Angeles,” he added, referring to the exiled son of the last Iranian shah who has positioned himself as an alternative to the country’s current clerical leadership.
Igra also dismissed the notion that the ongoing US-Israeli aerial campaign can decisively defeat Iran, comparing it to World War II. “Until the Russian troops entered Berlin, nothing worked,” he said, stressing that “the war is not won by aerial attacks – it’s won by boots on the ground.”
