U.S. Intelligence Says Iran’s Regime Is Not on the Verge of Collapse Two Weeks After the Start of American‑Zionist Strikes
According to U.S. intelligence services, the Iranian regime is not facing an imminent collapse, roughly two weeks after the onset of the American‑Zionist bombardments.
One of the sources – all of whom demanded anonymity to discuss confidential conclusions – explained that a “large number” of intelligence reports provide “consistent analyses indicating that the regime is not in danger” and that it “maintains control over Iranian public opinion.” The source added that the most recent report was finalized in the past few days.
A Political Dilemma for Washington
As political pressure mounts due to the sharp rise in oil prices, U.S. President Donald Trump hinted that he would end “soon” the biggest American military operation since 2003. However, finding an acceptable exit from the war could prove difficult if Iran’s hard‑line leaders remain in power.
Resilience of the Regime After Khamenei’s Death
The reports stress the cohesion of the religious apparatus in power, despite the death of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on 28 February, which coincided with the first day of the American‑Zionist strikes.
An Israeli senior official told Reuters that, in closed‑door discussions, the Zionist authorities admitted it was impossible to state with certainty that the war would lead to the collapse of the clerical regime.
A Shifting Context
Sources nevertheless emphasized that the situation on the ground remains volatile and that internal conditions in Iran could still evolve.
To date, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the CIA have declined to comment. The White House has also not responded to requests for clarification.
