Plan B in Iran War: Destabilization and Dahiya Tactics Loom
The article argues the initial US‑Israel plan to quickly topple Iran failed, with Netanyahu trapped and Trump overconfident. It outlines a two‑pronged Plan B: (1) use minority groups like Kurds or Baluchis to foment internal revolt, and (2) apply the Dahiya doctrine—punishing civilians to crush domestic support—through intensified strikes on Iran’s infrastructure. This could provoke Iranian retaliation against Gulf oil states and cause global economic disruption, making the conflict harder to end and risking months of escalation. Some Israelis and U.S. insiders may be rethinking the approach, but the war remains costly and uncertain.
