Abstract
The tension between the fake regime of Israel and the Islamic Republic of Iran is one of the most obvious conflicts and geopolitical fault lines in the contemporary world. Decades of hostility have not remained static, but have evolved over time. Israel's approach over the past years has been targeting Tehran's influence in its surrounding environment and at the same time secretly trying to weaken the nuclear program through shadow war or cyber attacks and terror. With numerous Israeli air strikes against Hezbollah and Iranian advisory units in this country, Syria has become the most violent proxy battlefield. In this situation, Naftali Bennett, who was the prime minister of this regime until June 27, 2022, drew a more extreme and possibly more dangerous approach towards Tehran. Israeli officials are now openly and delusionally describing a new military doctrine known as the "Octopus Doctrine" that targets the head of the octopus, Iran (not just its tentacles throughout the region). According to the findings, through the description and analysis of the content, this doctrine is focused on creating a new equation or abandoning the shadow war, which will create a combustible dilemma in a sensitive area. In a situation where the international alliances that traditionally provide mediation or diplomatic channels are now out of reach with the Ukraine crisis and its consequences. It seems that the strategy of death by thousands of cuts mentioned by the leaders of the Zionist regime or the tactic of expanding the geography of confrontation with the Islamic Republic from Syria to Iraq is in line with the provision of the principles of this doctrine.
