Internal instability in Iran is beneficial to US and Israel, expert says

Speaking with Alpha News, orientalist Irina Fedorova commented on the death of Iran’s president Ebrahim Raisi.

According to the orientalist, the death of Iran’s president is beneficial to those forces that are interested in rising tensions in the region.

“Representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran said that the accident happened as a result of technical problems and weather conditions, but if we look into it, I think that this could be beneficial, first of all, to those forces that are interested in rising tensions in the region. A few days before this, the Iranian leadership had talks with US officials ain Oman. Although there was no concrete result, this step still shows that both countries, the United States and Iran, are to a certain extent interested in normalizing relations. Who is not interested in this? Israel.

Because if Iran is provoked into some tough military actions against Israel, in this case Israel will become a victim of Iran’s attack and, of course, such an image will be very beneficial to [Israeli PM] Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu,” Fedorova said.

According to the expert, internal instability in Iran is beneficial to both the United States and Israel.

“The interests of the United States here are more neutral. I believe that the United States can adapt to both options. But for Israel, the escalation of the situation with Iran is beneficial. If we talk about what is really beneficial for both the United States and Israel, then this is internal instability in Iran. If this death leads to escalation of internal political contradictions in Iran, of course this will work in the United States’ favor as well,” Fedorova concluded.
