The Economist: Israel Takes a Dangerous Gamble by Attacking Iran
According to webangah News Agency, The Economist’s latest editorial, titled “Israel Has Taken a Reckless and Terrifying Gamble,” asserts that the Zionist regime’s strike against Iran constitutes a “reckless and terrifying gamble” for the following reasons:
Israel’s attack (against Iran) is a high-stakes gamble as it may not have been as necessary as Israel claims. In March, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard stated that Ayatollah Khamenei had not approved restarting the nuclear program suspended in 2003.
The attack also carries regional and global consequences, making it a gamble. Iran could inflict notable damage-targeting U.S.-allied Gulf states hosting American bases or escalating Yemeni militant activity. Tehran could also strike israeli and Jewish assets worldwide.Should this escalate into regional war, stability would collapse, spiking oil prices with global repercussions.
The primary reason this attack was a gamble? It likely won’t succeed. Israel previously bombed Iraqi (1981) and Syrian (2007) nuclear facilities with success, but Iran’s program is far more advanced, expansive, and geographically dispersed.
The Fordow facility in Qom Province is buried deep within mountains-a location many officials believe Israeli munitions cannot penetrate. Neutralizing it would require ground forces or U.S. assistance. Even if physically destroyed, Iran retains uranium stockpiles and decades of enrichment expertise; its geological safeguards defy even U.S bombs . A reactivated Iranian nuclear program would emerge more dangerous than ever.
the outlook suggests Israel-and possibly the U.S.-will face repeated operations under increasingly unfavorable conditions.
In a world where outdated norms crumble , endless strikes against national sovereignty risk heavy political-diplomatic costs .
Finally ,sustained attacks could exhaust American patience ,inflaming public opinion -delivering severe blow to Washington ,Tel Aviv’s critical ally .
