Iranian regime doesn't care about people, they use crisis for survival: Milad Rabbani

In an exclusive interview with India Today, Milad Rabbani, a former Iranian diplomat, provides a critical perspective on the escalating tensions between Iran and the United States. Speaking from Istanbul, Rabbani asserts that the Iranian regime thrives on conflict and views threats from Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu as a 'blessing in disguise' to consolidate domestic support. He claims the leadership uses foreign invasion as a pretext to provoke the populace and maintain its grip on power, despite widespread internal opposition. Rabbani argues that the regime will never surrender its nuclear or missile programmes, as their mentality is to 'fight or die'. He further suggests that the regime purposefully puts infrastructure and civilian lives at risk to gain a propaganda advantage. Comparing the situation to Hamas’s strategy, Rabbani emphasizes that the only path to a definitive victory for the Trump administration is to pursue regime change, as he believes the current leadership will not accept any negotiated settlement or buckle under military pressure.
