Elisa Catalano Ewers: Israeli leadership moves to destabilise regime’s leadership structure
Delano D'Souza is pleased to welcome Elisa Catalano Ewers, Senior Fellow for Middle East Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. Our guest illustrates how Israeli envisions destroying the Iranian regime from within. Their approach is not one of immediate collapse, but of calculated and sustained pressure. Ms. Catalano Ewers finds many external assumptions deeply flawed, particularly the expectation that the Iranian population can mobilise under sustained bombardment. And the recent assassination of figures like Larijani risks eliminating any pathway to diplomacy.
