Why don't Iranians like Eisenkot? It's a twofold reason and I'll tell you. • First of all, Bibi Netanyahu is profoundly beloved in Iran. It goes beyond anything you can imagine. It's something you need to understand before I explain anything else. At a time when Iranians were being slaughtered and the entire world was dead silent, Bibi came in like the personification of our need for vengeance against the islamic regime. Watching our oppressors blown apart and their coffins stacked on top of each other is a kind of satisfaction that's hard to put into words. Bibi did that, nobody else did. He did so along with the message that he intends to help Iran overthrow the IR. This may sound weird or unrealistic to a non-Iranian, but to us, it's everything. We have truly never had anyone on our side, and now we have the most powerful man in the Middle East basically returning Cyrus the Great's favour from 2500 years ago. Sure, Trump is of course there too, but nobody knows where his head is at from minute to minute. Netanyahu is the one Iranians trust the most at this point. With this kind of admiration comes a defensiveness against anyone who tries to tear him down or disrupt him. • And then we have Eisenkot. I'm sure he's a great guy in his personal life. And we have every respect for his family's sacrifices in wars. But our impression is that he is blindingly naive when it comes to Iran. He has openly said that he doesn't want to pursue regime change, and that his only concern is nuclear weapons and missiles. Apparently at one point he even used North Korea as an example for why a nuclear IR isn't that serious. What this tells us, is that Eisenkot's policy is to abandon Iran and ensure the regime's survival at a time when Netanyahu declared he has instructed the IDF and Mossad to bring it down. Basically quitting the mission when it's 90% complete. That, to us, is a betrayal. Iranians have stood by Israelis all this time when the entire rest of the world didn't. Even from inside Iran, people post videos chanting "Bibi joon". People support Israel from inside the slaughterhouse at a massive risk to their lives. And Eisenkot now looks like a man who openly wants to waste all our sacrifices and hopes because he "doesn't think the IR can be brought down militarily". That's unacceptable. I can't overstate that Eisenkot winning and unseating Netanyahu at the most critical time in modern Iranian history could potentially turn millions of Iranians against Israel. It would be a tragic missed opportunity to finally heal the Middle East of the Shia Axis cancer. Hope this helps!
