No Time for Water Breaks: The Only Way to Defeat Tehran Is a Continuous Strike | Alex Nahumson

Alex Nahumson argues that Israel must wage a continuous war against Iran without pauses, as any break allows the enemy to regroup. He criticizes the concept of a war in waves and warns against an endless war of attrition.

Alex Nahumson, in an opinion column in Maariv, argues that Israel must wage a continuous war against Iran without pauses. According to him, the Iranian regime sees time as an asset and is willing to sacrifice entire generations to exhaust the enemy. Any pause that is not operationally necessary allows Iran to regroup, replenish supplies, and plan the next strike. Nahumson warns against the concept of a war in waves, which he says prolongs the war of attrition. He states that Israel cannot afford endless wars of attrition, unlike the United States, because it fights in its own backyard. The conclusion: everything must be done to shorten the war and achieve a decisive victory, not prolong it under the illusion that pauses will convince the enemy to give up.
