Mearsheimer: Israel's ultimate goal is the fragmentation of Iran

Mearsheimer: Israel's ultimate goal is the fragmentation of Iran 🔹John Mearsheimer, prominent American theorist: Even if Iran abandons its nuclear program, Israel will not back down; because Israel's main objective is to fragment Iran. 🔹Israel even supports the creation of a Kurdish state to divide Iran, Iraq, and Syria. Israelis are thrilled by the events in Syria and would like to do the same in Iran. 🔹Of course, the notion of Iran weakening is foolish. Whether you destroy Hezbollah or Hamas has no bearing on Iran's capabilities and is completely irrelevant. 🔹The reality is that Iranians have a large stockpile of precise and lethal missiles that they can use to attack U.S. bases, Israel, Arab oil fields, and refineries. They have the capability to block the Persian Gulf. 🔹Iranians can inflict severe damage to various areas in the Middle East with their ballistic and cruise missiles.
