DID Press: Security outlet Iran IntlWatch has disclosed a joint US-Israel plan named “Haman” for a lightning, all-encompassing strike against Iran. According to the report, Israel proposed the plan after a US miscalculation of Iran’s initial response to the February 28 attacks and the war’s protracted course left Washington unprepared.
The report states that “Haman”—named after the historical figures Esther and Mordechai—focuses on decapitating Iran’s leadership and swiftly ending the war. While the plan faced internal opposition within US decision-making circles, its principles were reportedly agreed upon in a briefing for several Congress members two days ago.
Iran IntlWatch suggests that the ten-day delay in the prior US warning about attacks on Iranian facilities either reflects hesitation over implementing the plan or a tactic to buy time and possibly deceive Tehran before operations commence on the morning of March 28.
Key Elements of “Haman” Plan:
- US military operations against Iran are scheduled between March 27–30, 2026.
- 4,000 US troops, alongside Syrian Takfiri groups, are positioned in Azerbaijan, with 20 reconnaissance drones entering Iranian border areas on March 25.
- 250 US troops in Bahrain and 250 in Pakistan are set to secure Chabahar and advance toward central provinces.
- Takfiri militants, Kurdish terrorist groups, and 2,000 US troops are stationed in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region.
- Operations begin with intense strikes on southern Iran’s power infrastructure and a central city, including targeting the Bushehr nuclear plant.
- Helicopter insertions from sectarian bases in Bandar Abbas, Kermanshah, Urmia, Tabriz, and Bushehr are planned, following prior bombardments.
- 211 Ukrainian drone pilots are deployed to suppress Iranian defenders, and suicide drones are intended to disrupt Iran’s defenses.
- Israel or the US may strike Natanz and Fordow nuclear facilities with unconventional weapons.
The report concludes that Iran has acted “outside the norm,” preparing for multiple scenarios and forcing the US to acknowledge military limitations.
Military analysts note Israel’s inability to defeat Hamas in Gaza despite months of heavy operations and repeated US failures in Iraq and Afghanistan. They stress that Iran’s capabilities far exceed those of actors previously targeted by similar scenarios.
Experts assert that Iran’s multilayered defense systems, allied networks, and operational experience place it in a position where any military action could have consequences beyond the planners’ calculations.
They also highlight that US-Israeli planners initially assumed Iran’s military would be neutralized within 24 hours—a scenario that did not occur. This reality indicates that the new “Haman” plan is highly likely to fail and will not achieve its intended objectives.
