Since Hamas's attacks on Israel, fears have centered around Iranian escalation. While Iran attacked Israel indirectly on April 13th and has backed Hezbollah operations against Israel, it hasn't launched major direct attacks since. The article explores the reasons behind this restraint, focusing on the threat of overwhelming military action by the U.S. and Western allies.
From the moment that Iran ian proxy terrorist organisation Hamas launched multiple coordinated attacks on Israel on 7 October last year, the primary fear of further escalation in the region has centred on how Iran might escalate the ongoing Israel - Hamas War. On 13 April, Iran directly attacked Israel from its own territory for the first time in a series of missile and drone launches following the Israel i bombing of the Iran ian embassy in Syria.
A signal that Iran is prepared to discuss a new version of the JCPOA came with the election on 5 July of Iranian President, Masoud Pezeshkian, following the death in a helicopter crash of his predecessor Ebrahim Raisi on 19 May. He is widely seen in the West as a ‘moderate’ in the same mould as former President Hassan Rouhani, under whose leadership the JCPOA as forged and then implemented, before the U.S. unilaterally withdrew from it in May 2018.
