Iran’s ‘Narrow Objective’ Is Regime Survival, Analyst Says

Jasmine El-Gamal, a former Middle East adviser to the Pentagon, says the “narrow objective” of Iran’s leadership amid the ongoing US-Iran military operation is the survival of the regime. The Islamic Republic has been “planning for this scenario probably for years,” El-Gamal tells Bloomberg Television. “Contrast that to Donald Trump,” she adds. “No objective, no road map on how to get there, no legal foundation for this because there was no imminent threat to the US.” (Source: Bloomberg)
