At this stage, I do not see a risk to the regime\u2026. but as the pressure on Iran increases, including internal pressure, the Iranian response is much more aggressive, so we should expect much more aggressive responses in the region and in the world,\u201d Haliva said, according to <em>The Times of Israel<\/em>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A female reporter from Argentina was robbed on the air as she reported live among a crowd of fans celebrating the World Cup in Qatar. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/D1JWVdnM59\">https:\/\/t.co\/D1JWVdnM59<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BreitbartNews\/status\/1594728973556191233?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 21, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI am telling you that the Iranians are now considering attacking the World Cup in Qatar as well,\u201d he said. \u201cThe only thing holding them back is how the Qataris will react.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIran is seeking to preserve instability as a constant thing.
