How Israel might respond to Iran’s attack
Joe Biden, the US President, reportedly warned Mr Netanyahu on Sunday morning that the US will not participate in any attack by Israel on Iran.
Another key factor is Iran’s nuclear programme, which Israel has been working for years to dismantle via covert strikes. This new crisis might prove an opportunity to destroy the nuclear programme once and for all.
There are a few reasons to doubt that Iran truly wants war with Israel.
Experts say it would be ill-prepared militarily, and it is already under crippling Western sanctions. There is also massive internal opposition to the Iranian regime, as reflected in 2022’s enormous protest movement.
But this attack was launched directly from Iranian territory and, the regime claims, includes missiles, not just drones.
This does not fit the pattern of Iran’s previous conduct, in which it has launched covert attacks on Israel or relied on regional proxies to do its bidding.
That means Israel – and the West – is now in uncharted and dangerous territory.
