Should Israel Re-Enter War with Iran? An Assessment
In Israel, discussions are underway about possible participation in a new US military operation against Iran. Experts believe Jerusalem should define the limits of its involvement to avoid additional risks. The operation could target Iran's nuclear facilities, missile infrastructure, or energy sector. Israeli participation in strikes on nuclear sites could be beneficial, but attacks on energy infrastructure increase the risk of retaliation. It is recommended to focus on intelligence and strengthening air defenses.
In Israel, discussions continue about possible participation in a new US military operation against Iran. Amid reports of Washington preparing new strikes, experts believe Jerusalem should carefully define the limits of its involvement to avoid exposing the country to additional risks. This is reported by Channel 9. As noted, the possible operation could be directed against both Iran's nuclear program and missile infrastructure, as well as against the energy sector of the Islamic Republic. This distinction, according to several analysts, should be key in decision-making. Experts believe that Israeli participation in strikes on nuclear facilities and missile bases could have military significance due to accumulated intelligence and experience in conducting such operations. Meanwhile, the US possesses weapons capable of striking well-protected underground targets. At the same time, IDF involvement in attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure raises doubts. Analysts say American forces can carry out such tasks independently, while Israeli involvement could increase the likelihood of a large-scale retaliatory strike from Tehran. Potential targets of an Iranian response include gas fields, energy infrastructure, seaports, and other strategic Israeli sites. Additionally, the risk of new massive missile attacks remains. According to experts, it would be advisable for Israel to focus on providing intelligence to allies, strengthening its air and missile defense systems, and maintaining readiness for independent action in case of an immediate threat.
