What comes next will be messy, it will be violent, and it will be expensive.]]></description>

Yet strategic exhaustion does not equate to imminent collapse. Indeed, the potential degradation of Iran’s coercive institutions raises a more complex question: what follows tactical success?

					<description><![CDATA[ASHRAF MARWAN, KNOWN AS "the Angel," is regarded as one of the greatest spies in Israeli intelligence history—the man on whom the entire Israeli government relied, and the informant who warned of the Yom Kippur War. Long-standing suspicions that he was actually a double agent have been strongly dismissed. However, a comprehensive investigation by two Israeli journalists, Ronen Bergman and Yuval Robovitz, published in the popular Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth under the title “//The Angel of Lies//”, presents a different picture. Based on thousands of secret documents not yet revealed and rare conversations with people involved in the operation, their report claims that “the Angel” was actually the spearhead of Egypt’s deception plan before and during the war—and that he succeeded beyond all expectations.]]></description>
