Israel’s Decision: To Strike Iran or Wait for the US’s Support?
Veteran Middle East negotiator Dennis Ross once said that Israel will never allow itself to lose the option of preemptively striking Iran. After Iran’s recent attack on Israel, tensions are high, and the question of whether Israel will launch a major offensive against Iran is looming large.
The recent increase in kinetic actions by Israel against Iran’s proxies has raised concerns. The Biden administration’s approach to Iran, including the decision not to fully enforce sanctions, has been seen as weak by many. As Iran continues to advance its nuclear program, the threat to Israel’s security grows.
The time for action is now. Israel faces a critical decision – to strike Iran independently or wait for US support that may never come. The stakes are high, and the survival of Israel hangs in the balance. Will Israel take the risk, or will it wait and potentially face the consequences of a nuclear-armed Iran?
