Is Tehran emerging as regional winner? - by Iason Athanasiadis
So adept is the Israeli PR machine, that even foreign journalists based in Tehran have been receiving detailed emails from Israeli officials supplying up-to-the-moment briefings and full contact details.
But Israel's attempts to spin the conflict in its favor do not obscure the fact that its position is becoming ever more precarious the longer the bombing draws on. Iran is sure to capitalize on that. A well-connected Iranian analyst - with links to Hizbullah and a background as a foreign policy adviser to former President Mohammad Khatami - told me that the big regional winners this time will be Syria and Iran, not to mention Russia and China.
