Jewish Journalist: Cyber-attacks increase Iran’s determination.
A Jewish journalist wrote in a note that cyber-attacks against Iran only strengthen the country’s determination, and that if the United States and its allies want to limit Iran’s nuclear program, they should lift sanctions.
“Cyber-attacks against Iran increase the determination of this country,” Jewish journalist Richard Silverstein wrote in a note on Middle East I news site.
Last week, Haaretz claimed that the “recent attack on a gas station” in Iran was part of the regime’s cyber-warfare campaign aimed at cracking down on Iran’s infrastructure, creating tensions and divisions and destabilizing the country. .
“Israeli security officials have recently focused on Iranian society, or at least the educated urban middle class,” Silverstein was quoted as saying by Haaretz. “They believe that this group does not harm the quality of their lives and hope that as the situation worsens, these Iranians will put significant pressure on the government.”
The Jewish journalist added that the key weakness of this Zionist approach is that it assumes that the Iranian people make their political decisions solely on the basis of their material well-being. Such an approach ignores the fact that Iranians make such decisions based on a wider range of factors, including national pride, sovereignty, and the protection of national rights.
He adds: “Iran’s nuclear program is only an honor for Iranians, but it is seen as a key defense element in the country’s strategic arsenal to protect it from enemies. “Iranians cannot be persuaded simply by creating economic disruption.”
“Anyone who hopes to create a rift between the Iranian people and its leaders is wrong, and this is not the first time this has happened,” Silverstein was quoted as saying by Israel Hume, a military expert. The regime has faced far worse challenges, one of the worst of which is the crippling US sanctions. They could not hope for an uprising. “Past experience teaches us that Israel lacks a clear strategy and acts on disturbing impulses.”
“Israel is the first country to launch such a systematic and long-term campaign to damage the vital civilian infrastructure of an entire nation with the aim of inciting regime change,” he said in a note referring to the recent cyber attack. “The world must pay close attention to this issue, because without a doubt, the war between nations will be like this in the future.”
“Without international regulation, different countries will increasingly engage in cyber warfare,” Silverstein said. “As the Geneva Convention states the permissible methods of warfare, a Geneva Convention on cyberwarfare should have been drafted long ago.”
Referring to a recent University of Maryland poll, he wrote that the results showed that despite economic sanctions, a significant portion of Iranians still supported the country’s nuclear program. In addition, Iranians do not blame their leaders for the sanctions or the hardships they have endured as a result of the sanctions.
