The True Nature of Iran-Israel - Relations – the Comedy of the Bad Cop and the Good Cop

Is Iran truly afraid of Israel, or are they just playing the role of the regional bad cop? In my opinion, Iran's hostility towards Israel is all for show. Netanyahu understands the region well and knows how to handle these so-called enemies. I don't believe for a moment that Iran is a genuine adversary. The longstanding strategy has been to manufacture a fake enemy, and Iran is merely acting the part. It's also important to remember that Iran has a significant Jewish population, many of whom hold influential positions, similar to how Eli Cohen operated in Syria. Erdogan is smart enough not to be fooled by this charade.
