The newspaper "A-Sharq Alavest" reported this morning from informed sources in Beirut that the coming days will be "the most difficult days for Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei".
YONI BEN MENACHEM -- According to the report, Khomeini will have to make "difficult and successful decisions" that he has so far been able to avoid since replacing Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic Revolution, in power in 1989.
According to senior political officials, a principled decision has already been made in Israel to respond to the Iranian attack with an attack on a strategic target in Iran. Israel's decision to attack strategic targets in Iran in the coming days poses a big problem for Khamenei.
There are already very worrying signs, from Iran's point of view, that the Iranian public sees very well, that Israel has begun to dismantle the military power of some of the important Iranian affiliates in the Middle East: Hezbollah, Hamas and the Islamic Jihad.
