Kim Ghattas: I Don’t Think We Should Expect Iran to Capitulate

EXCERPT:

GHATTAS: “I think that two things might happen and it might evolve into — in two different ways. The regime is to some extent you know obviously under attack, feels weakened, but I don’t think we should expect it to capitulate, which is what Benjamin Netanyahu would like to see as the end result of his military campaign. I think the more likely scenario there is, as Karim indicates, there might be fissures at the top. And then when it comes to the people, I think people are quite anxious about what is happening. They may dislike, hate this Islamic Republic that has made the lives of millions of Iranians, especially the youth, so miserable, but I’m not sure they want to be liberated by an Israeli military campaign.”
