Prof. Vladimir Chukov: As long as there is a theocratic state in Iran, there can be no normal relations with the state of Israel

The Constitution of Iran contains a text according to which the supreme leader rules until the return of the Messiah, who will return when Israel is wiped out. We are moving towards a very unpleasant scenario, said the Arabist

Prof. Vladimir Chukov: As long as there is a theocratic state in Iran, there can be no normal relations with the state of Israel  - 1

There are many factors that caused the attack on Iran. Let us recall that Trump gave Iran 60 days to conclude a deal on the nuclear program. We see that the negotiations are at a dead end. Either way, the clock is ticking. Apparently, Israel has decided that this is the most convenient moment. This action is obviously being prepared very seriously. This was stated by Arabist Prof. Vladimir Chukov in the program “Face to Face” on bTV in connection with operation "Rising Lion" of Israel against Iran, quoted by novini.bg.

The moment is extremely appropriate for the Iranians to agree to what the Americans are offering them - not to enrich uranium on their territory. The ultimate goal is to receive enriched uranium from abroad, he pointed out.

There is something very symbolic - the way they called the operation “The Resurgent Lion”. Let me remind you that the light and the lion are the symbols of the Iranian monarchy, which is a direct hint that if things are not settled diplomatically, the regime may go, the Arabist explained.

We must be realistic. As long as there is a theocratic state in Iran, there can be no normal relations with the state of Israel. The Constitution of Iran contains a text according to which the supreme leader rules until the return of the Messiah, who will return when Israel is wiped out. We are walking a very unpleasant scenario, said Professor Chukov.
This is a clash of two messianic ideas, of two religions that dispute the dominance of Jerusalem. There is no way that both of them can possess it. We will walk the path of collision. The entire region is on fire. Things that we do not expect can come from there, including in Europe, the international analyst warned.

At the moment, we do not have a direct threat to our national security, but it is not known to what extent and where the conflict may escalate, he also said.
