Why hasn't Iran attacked Israel yet? An expert answers the burning question
Iran expert, Dr. Tamar Elam Gindin: 'It has never attacked first.' On Ahmadinejad's leaks: 'In the Islamic Republic, they can say this to sow discord.'
Assessment
A specialist in Iranian affairs suggests that Iran's historical reluctance to initiate a direct strike against Israel explains the current delay. The expert also interprets recent leaks attributed to former Iranian President Ahmadinejad as potential internal maneuvering meant to sow discord within the Islamic Republic. The key question is whether this strategic patience will hold or shift under pressure.
