A historic opportunity given to Israel to blow up Iran’s nuclear project given the current confrontation with Iran an opportunity that shouldn’t be missed nor cannot be postponed.

Based on an article by Ex IDF Brigadier General Danny Van Byrne Published in Ma’ariv daily online.

Israel political echelon must understand that the interests of all parties in the equation and realize only those of Israel. In the current reality, only strong military action will ensure to achieve such goals.

What are the reasons that Iran insist on attacking Israel. Though What are Iran’s capabilities to attack Israel directly without its shuttered proxies. The Hezbollah Hamas and or the Houthis. Can Iran be able to defend itself given IIsrae’s advanced offensive capabilities ballistic missiles and its advanced AirForce also what are the geopolitical issues that drives Iran to delay the attack or to act against Israel regardless of pressures from the international arena. Mainly Russia United States and Arab Gulf countries.

The experience of the attack in the heart of Tel Aviv, on the eve of Anthony Blinken’s visit to Israel, for which Hamas and Islamic Jihad took responsibility, helps to better understand the map of interests of the players involved in the war in the Middle East. The failed attempt illustrates the assertion that Hamas is doing everything possible to thwart the hostage deal and is trying to drag the powers, including Iran and its affiliates, into a regional war that will ignite the Middle East – a conflict that all the players are trying to avoid.

The two foreign powers stirring the cauldron – the United States and Iran – wish to avoid being drawn into a regional war, each with its own considerations. The United States also has a systematic strategy aimed at reducing the existing risk of turning a local conflict into a regional or global war. In addition, the current administration adopts a conciliatory policy towards Iran, which takes effect during elections. The Democrats will be very happy to arrive on Election Day with the achievement of terminating the war in the Middle East and putting the political train on the (imaginary) track that will lead to regional peace agreements.
Iran. The concept of a military conflict in the Persian Gulf. The threat of war.

“Iran map with borders and neigbors with nuclear

Iran, for its part, wants to continue the march towards nuclear weapon capability and prefers not to burn its achievement in the region just before the completion of the project. It also understandable that this time a direct attack from its territory will be met with a major and probably disproportionate attack by Israel, backed by the United States and Great Britain, which will threaten its sluggish economy, nuclear facilities and even the survival of the Ayatollah regime which can be the ultimate goal for Israel and other countries in the Gulf region. It is Hamas, the wayward son, who is doing everything in his power to ignite the Middle East and drag Iran into the conflict. According to Sinwar, a regional war would be another step on the way to the destruction of Israel and in the near term, would return the Palestinian issue to being the root problem of the Middle East.

The attempt to cause a major terrorist attack in the heart of the State of Israel is intended to signal that Hamas is alive and well, and even if it suffers severe blows in Gaza, its affiliates in the Jewish State are capable of producing a significant attack. According to Sinwar, an attack with many casualties in the center of Tel Aviv will oblige ??1 to an unusual response in the Jewish State, which in return provide Hamas an excuse to back out from the abductees deal, which it didn’t want in the first place. In such a case, Sinwar is interested in knocking down the ladder of the cease-fire in Gaza, by means of which Iran and Hezbollah sought to get off the tree of revenge.
And in Israel as in Israel, the pressure campaign on Netanyahu to be flexible in the hostage deal, and according to some of the public to agree to it at any cost, only serves Hamas’ ability to avoid agreement. In any case, Netanyahu will be accused of botching the talks and Hamas will be given legitimacy to continue terror in the field and the manipulative use of hostages and divide Israeli society.

If we are living things, we must understand the interests of all parties in the equation and realize only those of Israel – the return of sovereignty to the south and the north, the return of the abducted and the creation of renewed deterrence against all of Israel’s enemies. In the present reality, only strong military action will ensure all these.

There is now historic opportunity to do so when the IDF is most ready, the American coalition is in the region and Iran has not yet reached its nuclear goals. If Israel might postpone the current conflict to unknown date period in the future Israel may lose the opportunity to hit the Iranian nuclear project badly and create a long delay required to face it in a completely different reality.
