The "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" tactic of the US military in recent days 🔹In recent days, the US was prepared for attacks against Iran on several occasions. In this regard, American fighter jets and refueling aircraft were deployed in the southern Persian Gulf. However, no attack or operation was conducted. 🔹This incident may be similar to events that took place before the execution of Operation Storm of Al-Aqsa on 7 October 2023; at that time, Hamas publicly conducted several exercises and maneuvers, which Israel was aware of. 🔹In these exercises, Hamas even practiced paragliding and crossing the border fence. The repetition of these actions led Israel to believe they were merely unimportant maneuvers and part of a normal routine. 🔹One of Hamas's major and extensive maneuvers took place just one month prior to 7 October. On 12 September, a demonstration video was released showing Hamas blowing up a model of the Israeli regime's border wall using explosives. 🔹Ultimately, when Hamas was prepared for its main operation, Israel believed, as it had with previous actions, that it was merely a maneuver or display; this story is known among Iranians as the tale of the "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing." 🔹Currently, similar events are occurring in the region; for example, on 25 September, reports of a high level of activity from the US Air Force were published, one of which involved a reconnaissance aircraft near Qeshm Island. Concurrently, activities of American fighter jets and drones were also reported. 🔹Whenever the enemy shows readiness to attack, the armed forces must naturally prepare for countermeasures. The aim of the enemy in this process is to erode and normalize actions, ultimately leading to the main operation being conducted at an unexpected moment. 🔸As a result, Tehran should be prepared for confrontation whenever the enemy indicates readiness to attack, even if this process is repeated dozens of times on a daily basis.
