Escalating Tensions: Israel's Strategy Against Iran Mirrors Past Conflicts**

Recent Israeli attacks on Iranian leadership reflect a strategic playbook honed from past conflicts, aiming to reduce military capabilities through high-profile assassinations.**

In a significant escalation of hostilities, Israel has launched a series of targeted strikes that have successfully eliminated numerous high-ranking Iranian military officers. These operations, mirroring Israel's previous campaigns against Hezbollah and Hamas, underscore a calculated effort to degrade Iran's military capabilities.

The offensive has resulted in the deaths of key figures, including leaders of elite military units and intelligence, leaving a visible mark on Iran's defense infrastructure. Analysts suggest that this tactic is part of an overarching strategy, akin to what Israel employed in dismantling Hezbollah's leadership last year. "We are seeing a repeat of their strategy, focusing on key personnel to disrupt the hierarchical command of these forces," explained Randa Slim, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute.

Israel's continued focus on Iran comes amid ongoing conflicts, particularly in Gaza, where similar tactics have seen Hamas leaders targeted in an effort to minimize their operational capacity. Over the past two years, Israel has claimed significant successes against Hamas, illustrating an aggressive approach to neutralizing threats through precise leadership strikes.

On the same night as the Iranian strikes, Israel also targeted Houthi leadership, further demonstrating a broad strategic reach. While the fallout from these strikes remains to be seen, the consistency in Israel's military approach indicates a determination to impose its will on a rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape.

As tensions escalate, it remains to be seen how Iran will respond and what implications these actions may have on regional stability.
