Israeli media have ironically reacted to Tehran’s that Israel and Turkey were preparing joint intervention in Syria. There is even less confidence in assumptions that Israel and Turkey have no crisis of relations, as though it was staged so that Israel could make a surprising attack on Iran from the territory of Turkey.
Iranian media really believe that the US developed a plan for the fall of Bashar Assad’s regime, with assistance of Israeli and Turkish armies.
According to Tehran, the first stage of the plan is to give the Syrian government “a demonic image”, which includes accusing Bashar Assad of military crimes. Such accusations are supposed to give grounds for interventions of Turks in Syria and handing local opposition weapons to form a full-fledged army. This would be followed by Israeli intervention and, possibly, the army of Jordan. Nilsat and Arabsat would then be blocked so that Bashad Assad would be unable to inform the world about the developments.
Iranian media say that one of the main goals of such operation is to get rid of Assad and his family. Israeli analysts say that Tehran was inspired statements of Syrian opposition in Turkey. Opposition said that it was planning to form the High Revolutionary Council headed by General-Major Moustafa Ahmad Sheikh.
Israel emphasizes that it does not want to intervene in Syria regardless of such plan’s existence. Jerusalem is not interested in the fall of Assad’s regime because Syrian opposition has accused Bashar Assad of supporting Zionists on many occasions and seems to have a more radical anti-Israeli position than the current government.
Israeli experts say that such absurd assumptions prove that Iran is not only a threat to Israel, but to the world as well. Current Iranian authorities are obviously forming an illusionary political reality used to make decisions. When such illusionary reality is formed by an individual, he is called a schizophrenic.
The Iranian problem has lost its topicality in Israel. The government seems to be satisfied with the latest US steps and rampant statement of President Barack Obama. These could be the steps Israel has been striving for, convincing the world that it is ready to strike Iranian nuclear facilities. Amir Eshel, Commander in Chief of the Israeli Air Force, said that he is ready to bomb Iran as soon as ordered and expressed confidence in success of the operation.
