After Iran’s attack, Israel is faced with the dilemma of how to respond. “There must be an answer and there are two options,” analyzes Colonel Markus Reisner of the Austrian Armed Forces. “Either a hard response, such as destroying central facilities, or a soft response similar to what Iran did.”
In any case, the fact is that Israel is now fighting on three fronts: against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, against Hezbollah in Lebanon, which is supported by Iran, and against Iran itself. “You could even call it a fourth front, namely all Israeli representations worldwide. They are in danger,” Reisner told “Krone.”
The US does not want an escalation
There are indications that the US is urging Israel not to retaliate, Reisner says. “The US would not support an Israeli retaliation. The US does not want an escalation given the situation in which more and more crises appear on the world stage. The only problem is that if Iran’s attack on Israel goes unanswered, the Israelis will be the losers in the Arab world.
The world is eagerly awaiting Israel’s response
The Iranians would have achieved a virtual victory. The Israelis must now consider how to counterattack. With the resources at their disposal, they could, from one moment to the next, degrade or even destroy the Iranians’ capabilities in a fairly sustainable way. “But now they only have one chance. If they do not do that or do so to a lesser extent, then the Iranians will of course continue and try to further increase their potential.” That is the situation that the Israelis must now assess.
The world is falling apart
“The world is falling apart and the Americans are no longer in control. The conflict is: Global North versus Global South with multiple war zones.” The problem is that on the one hand, Americans are weakened at home as a result of this ‘miserable debate’ between Trump and Biden and the battle between Republicans and Democrats. . America no longer speaks with one voice. There is a lack of unity.
Americans have lost control
“This system that we had after the end of the Cold War, where the Americans were the only superpower left and basically ruled alone, has eroded enormously over the last twenty years and there have been signs that the US is no longer in it. ” in a position to control the world.” For us, this means “that this world is practically falling apart and that the Europeans are being asked to take their security policy into their own hands.” If Trump wins the election, it is feared that the US will let Europe down.
