So there is a feeling of fatigue, feeling that we don't see an end to it.

And it's very, very difficult to maintain a daily routine.

This is a long-standing strategy of Israel, started in the 60s against German scientists in Egypt, then continued to scientists working for Saddam Hussein in Iraq, recently Hamas leaders, and now military and political leaders and religious leaders of Iran are being targeted.

It gives a feeling that Israel is in love in this kind of targeted killing or assassinations and believe this is the only solution as a problem solver.

It's wrong because it doesn't lead us anywhere.

Every leader, every commander that has been killed, sooner or later, a replacement is being found.

What happened, I think, that Israel and the United States and President Trump believed that

If they kill the supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, the opening shot of the war, a chain reaction would be created.

The masses, Iranian masses, would rush to the streets and will topple the government, or at least there will be some sort of a coup d'etat from within the regime.

Moderate forces in the regime will take over.

This war began as a big gamble, and the chiefs are now not in the favor of Israel and the United States.

When it comes to Iran, it's a work of many, many years back.

The Mossad, Israeli foreign intelligence agency, and the military intelligence have been penetrating Iran, bugging telephones,

shadowing people, recruiting agents, smuggling weapons inside the countries, building safe houses, that when the order is given, everything will be in place and it will be possible to execute the decision.

Iran is a country of mosaic.

a lot of ethnical minorities, and many of them don't like the regime and are ready to cooperate with Israel.

Some of them do it of ideology, others for financial rewards, others because they hate the regime.

Israel has sufficient infrastructure to come and to strike time and again, time again, against top leaders, nuclear scientists, and political leaders.

Well, that saying still holds.

We don't see how it ends.
