The Path to War with Iran Is Paved – Until What May Happen Next Week

The renewal of American strikes on Iran creates an impression of approaching a broad war, but the assessment is that the blows will last only a few days before the US acts to establish a ceasefire and resume negotiations. The Netanyahu-Trump meeting may grant Israel wider operational space in the regional arenas.

The renewal of American strikes on Iran creates an impression that the region is approaching a broad war, but according to commentator Yaakov Bardugo, the blows will last only a few more days. After that, the United States is expected to try to pave the way again for a diplomatic agreement. Trump prefers a diplomatic move over a prolonged campaign, and is attacking now due to Iranian provocation. As early as next week, a path to a ceasefire may be found. Meanwhile, the summit meeting between Netanyahu and Trump at the White House may grant Israel broader political and security breathing room to continue operations in Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza. The analysis is based on the author's personal assessments, without citing official sources.
