Preventing an Iranian nuclear weapon remains Israel’s top priority
The October 7 attack taught Israel that it has no other choice but to confront Iran-backed threats on all fronts, sooner or later.
The new normal for Iran and its proxies in creating provocations and America’s insistence on responding to them by putting up a stronger defensive line, means that deterrence is eroding, not improving. For now, the much-feared escalation in the region is contained. Yet the calm may be brief and illusory. Tracing back the Biden doctrine is crucial to grasp this widening insecurity.
The Islamic Republic also has a history of diverting resources intended for humanitarian purposes.
