Is Israel about to start a war with Iran? Tensions between the US and Israel seem to be growing, but so too is antagonism between Israel and Iran. Of course, starting a war is one thing, winning one is something else altogether, as we’ve currently observing with Afghanistan.
Clearly a strike by Israel against Iran would set off a hornet’s nest in the region. But I think this is actually very unlikely. If Israel wanted to strike Iran they would have done so by now. And they’d keep very quiet about their intentions in advance too. So, by a process of elimination, I guess Israel’s strategy is one of just noise and pressure. Let’s hope that Iran doesn’t wrongly interpret this.
