Iran attacks Israel economy

Fine tuning her military strategy, Iran is harping on the economic muscle of Israel. In the end, it is economy that is stupid as Bill Clinton usually says. Breaking the geoeconomics backbone of Israel is the strategy Iran has been following since beginning of hostilities.

Iran knew that as a settler colony like Israel cannot last long when the elites and the rich begins to abandon the Promised Land. Most of the people who belong to this cabal cannot stand the regular barrage over their fashionable dwellings in elitist boulevards. Targeting the elites has twin purposes: wearing down their enthusiasm for Greater Israel concept and liquidating their valuable assets inside Israel. This is a classic business strategy followed by Iranian planners while executing their campaign.

Although the attack is localised into selected areas where the economic power brokers live, the macro purpose is not killing them but to kill the economic muscle leading finally to the dilution of geoeconomics clout hitherto enjoyed by Israel. Here are seven inter-connected steps that are unfolding in quick succession:

1. Destruction of the Stock exchange building in Ramat Gan whose market capitalization exceeds USD 475 Billion.

2. Commercial capital of Tel Aviv is almost one-third destroyed where banking finance, shipping, techno headquarters are located along with housing for their staff with related infra-structure facilities.

3. Valuable real estate is next in line. Tzamarot Ayalon in Tel Aviv, Dena in Haifa are significantly targeted. These locations boast fashionable living along with luxury dwellings and expensive boulevards for both residents and expatriates.

4. Vital cities such as Herzliya, Jerusalem and Beer Sheva are specially focussed by Iran. By the way, Microsoft HQ in Beer Sheva has been completely guttered.

5. Follow the money and kill it, is the new theorem Iran is postulating in cities that are connected to investment banking, venture capital and other financial professions that carry out intermediation. Collectively, these are located in financial centres in specific regions.

6. Manufacturing capacity as well as other processes involved in the value chain of major arms manufacturers such as Rafael, Elbit System and Israel Aerospace Industry are zoomed in for elimination.

7. Finally, in addition to the settlers, the focus of Iran is to create fear psychosis upon investors, venture capitalists, biz collaborators of domestic and foreign origin. Needless to say tourism sector is in doom and gloom as Iran continues her business strategy of scuppering the economic arm of Israel in generating income out of tourism which remains so far as a key forex earner for Israel.

The bottom line is once the economic muscle is atrophied any country would feel the pain domestically and thereafter abroad in the area of geoeconomics!
