Israel's Covert Strikes on Iran Aim to Shatter Public Resolve
Israel's secret attacks on Iran's critical infrastructure seek to erode the resilience of the Iranian people, say analysts. Toxic clouds and rainfall in Tehran are the latest in a series of covert ops.
Israel's covert military strikes against Iran's vital energy and industrial sites are part of a broader strategy to break the resilience of the Iranian people, according to regional analysts.
As toxic clouds and acidic rainfall descend upon Tehran, experts say the goal of these secretive operations is to demoralize and undermine the public's resolve in the face of economic sanctions and other external pressures.

The latest incident occurred earlier this month when a drone attack targeted an Iranian missile factory, triggering a massive explosion and fire that sent noxious fumes into the air. Residents reported skin irritation, breathing difficulties, and contaminated water supplies in the aftermath.
Israel has not claimed responsibility for the strike, but it has a long history of covert attacks against Iran's strategic assets, including the Stuxnet cyber-attack that crippled the country's nuclear program in 2010.
