Israel is experiencing a historic moment in the war against Iran, after facing groups allied with Tehran for two years. For experts, directly containing the Iranian regime is the only strategic way to guarantee the country’s security and survival in the long term.
What is the strategic importance of confronting Iran directly?
Israel understands that Iran is the source of funding and training for groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah. Confronting Tehran directly makes complete sense of neutralizing these threats at their root, allowing Israel to have a future with more stability on its borders without Iranian influence.
How have the attacks changed the daily lives of Israelis?
Civilian life is organized around sirens and cell phone applications that warn about the trajectory of missiles. Schools have been closed for safety reasons, and the job market has adapted to working from home for many parents who need to stay at home with their children while the risk of ballistic attacks persists.
How does the defense system that protects the population work?
The country uses three layers of protection. The first are systems such as the Iron Dome, for short-range missiles, and the David Slingshot, for long range. The second is the military support from the United States in interception, and the third is the population’s discipline in running to shelters within a few seconds.
What is the role of the United States in the current conflict scenario?
In addition to immediate military support, the American stance under Donald Trump aims to prevent the advancement of a new world order led by Iran, Russia and China. The strategic objective would be to weaken Tehran’s military influence and allow Iranian society to eventually live without the current regime’s repression.
What is expected for the Middle East after the end of this war?
Israel seeks only to exist in security and does not wish to expand territories. Although the end of the Iranian regime may generate initial instability, experts see room for new peace and economic cooperation agreements with neighbors such as Lebanon and Arab countries, similar to the pacts already made with Egypt and Jordan.
