Israelis know very well that compromising with Arabs won't save them , because they never were a threat for them , but Hamas and Hezbollah and IRGC underground missile bases in Syria are the real threats ... IRGC is playing it calm to encircle Israel and is not hasty like Jamal and Hafez Assad ... yes they wish Iran to make a normalization but after all of these pressures that Iran handled with , it won't happen ... dispense propaganda and lies
You said it, brother. The shallow understanding exhibited accross the internet and in the real world by many commentators of these sorts of reports, calls for a brief analysis of what this in all likelihood is really about.
To me as well, it quite obviously appears to be disinformation from the "Jerusalem Post". As such, it can certainly be considered to form part of the extensive psy-ops campaign conducted against Iran by that country's enemies.
Coming to think of it, just how many times have zionist and affiliated media outlets carried reports announcing some forthcoming sports match between Iranians and citizens of the zionist regime - - only to eventually see them invalidated by actual facts...?
In case nobody's noticed, this is a classical and rather overused type of routine propaganda theme... It was rehashed most recently in connection with a professional Iranian judoka as well as with a young Iranian chess talent.
It is intended to serve three purposes:
1) Invigorate the segments of Iranian public opinion susceptible to oppositionist anti-IR discourse, discourse which is generally supportive of Iran's sworn foreign enemies and their policies.
Create some sort of a momentum, artificially inflated by the foreign-funded, overseas media in Persian language, which the reformist and centrist political currents inside Iran will then be enabled to capitalize upon in order to push their empire-apologetic agenda, hoping to achieve a complete break with the foundational principles of both the Islamic Republic and the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Such news are bound to be proven wrong by Iranian officials, which will trigger an outcry of exiled oppositionists, hostile foreign regimes and in-house reformists against the revolutionary core of the Islamic Republic, accusing the latter of being reactionary spoilers running counter to the way of "the world".
I would be keen on witnessing the long faces those presently rejoicing at this fictitious report are going to pull once its baselsness is revealed, like every one of its predecessors.
2) Surf on the above mentioned anti-IR media hype to gain support for a boycott of Iran at international sport tournaments. And thereby exert further pressures on Iranian society and generate frustrations, which Iran's enemies hope to harvest in such a way as to turn Iranians against their legitimate political system.
3) Lend a propagandistic helping hand to Tel Aviv's regional clients and allies, especially the Arab regimes which most recently treaded the path of normalization with the apartheid regime, under the auspices of Trump and Kushner.
Indeed, fake news such as these offer free supply of verbal ammunition to supporters of these regimes and their professional PR agents alike, allowing them to relativize the treasonous nature of said regimes' dealings with Isra"el" and more importantly, to call into question the genuineness and seriousness of the actual Resistance Axis against zionism, particularly of its heavyweight that is Islamic Iran.
This is turn is meant to delegitimize, discourage and stifle any inclination toward and desire for Resistance against illegal zionist occupation of Palestine.
Reactions like post
#5 from the analogous thread running in the Middle East section, are exactly what such dubious reports are supposed to provoke amongst the anti-Iran crowd - that is, to further stimulate their animosity against Islamic Iran. Similarly, the aimed-for reaction as dfar as the Iranian public is concerned, is to spark sympathy for the zionist entity on top of hostility towards the IR, as well as to cultivate the misplaced idea that Iran too should abandon all opposition to the usurpatory regime of Tel Aviv, cease backing the heroic Resistance of the Palestinian people and follow in the footsteps of client regimes subservient to the zio-American empire.
