Hosein Aghayi, a member of the editorial board of Iran International, says a possible war between the United States, Israel, and the Islamic Republic is at the “zero” stage, and the first 72 hours could determine the outcome of the conflict.

According to him, if Israel launches an attack, it will likely try to target officials and infrastructure of the Islamic Republic and create a “shock” to prevent the war from dragging on and turning into a war of attrition.
