Israeli Circles Underline Imam Khamenei’s “Shrewd” Threats to Sink US Carriers amid Fluctuating War Expectations

The Zionist circles attentively followed up the developments related to the US-Iranian talks, reflecting a variety of expectations pertaining the potential war between the two sides.

In this regard, Ronin Cohen, a former intelligence officer, said that the possibility of a US attack on Iran is sliding down, considering that President Donald Trump prefers the diplomatic choices.

“The two sides want to avert war,” he said.

For its part, Israeli Channel 24 deemed that the US military reinforcements in the Middle East affirm an imminent strike on Iran, adding that it is a matter of time only.

The threats made by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei to sink the US carriers were described by the Zionist circles as shrewd.

While a warship is a dangerous instrument, more dangerous is the weapon capable of sending it to the bottom of the sea, the Leader said.

Imam Khamenei’s threats panicked the Americans and reminded them of their hard experience in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq, the Israeli circles added.

Finally, the Zionist analysts underlined Israel’s fear of a potential nuclear agreement between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran, considering that this would be the last chance to eradicate the Iranian threats.
